Just saw pelican landing in the water yesterday. It reminded me of a short memory I shared several years ago. It went a little something like this: I remember my first ferry ride across Galveston Bay in Texas. Yes, it was a long time ago. My grandparents were visiting from Oklahoma. And my dad drove them and the rest of the family to see … The rest of the story…
Do you desire a big paycheck? A snazzy car? A status symbol house? All of the above? If so, do you think you’ll ever get ’em? And even if you’re well on your way, do you think there’s an ironclad guarantee you’ll get ’em all? There’s nothing wrong with self improvement. And you certainly don’t need my approval.

I just read a very short, very cool article that started out with this: For the first time in human history, scientists witnessed the precise instant human development initiates.

Here’s something I shared a few years ago. And today it’s fairly appropriate to share it again. Yeah, apparently the number 3 is a charm, full of all kinds of magical powers. Just so you know, I’m not talking about the search for the secret keys to the universe. That’s something Nikola Tesla talked about.

You can find 7 mg of it in a 3 ounce serving of beef. Or 74 mg of it and 3 ounce serving of oysters. And you can find it a variety of other foods, which is good, because it plays an essential role in cell division and growth.

My Dad worked hard. And for most of his life he worked milkman hours, back in the days when a milkman delivered dairy products door-to-door. I remember those milkman hours first-hand.
