According to search engines, a significant amount of people look for a brainpower definition online. And the online Merriam-Webster dictionary defines brainpower like this: 1. intellectual ability 2. people with developed intellectual ability Yeah, I’d say that’s pretty accurate. But I’d go further with a brainpower definition like this: Someone who can move 20 ton blocks with his bare hands, some wood, … The rest of the story…

I watched a video, yesterday, of a couple who were enjoying a walk through Clifton, Colorado. It’s more or less an extension of Grand Junction. And it sits between that city and Palisade, Colorado. (side note: if you’ve never had Palisade peaches, your life is not complete) The couple videoed the view as they talked about what they were enjoying along the way. They … The rest of the story…
In 1975 I worked in a lumber yard in a small town in East, central Kansas. I drove large lumber trucks with loads of materials to new home building sites. And I drove a forklift to load and unload the trucks. I also took orders, made sales, and even shoveled loads of sand into backs of pickups. Plus, I thought about how the end … The rest of the story…
So, here we are in the first week of January 2022. And it’s been cold and a little snowy here in the shadow of Pike’s Peak. But ever since October it’s been quite dry. So, I don’t think anybody’s gonna complain if it snows even a lot more. And I remember a day, in May, when it was more than a little snowy. Yeah, … The rest of the story…
I know I’m not better than you if I say I’m a Christian and you say you’re not. I’m just better off than you because I know when I’m finally absent from this body, I’ll be “present with the Lord“. So, at the very least, I have hope. Because I have a future. Jesus promised, if I believe and trust in Him, I’ll have eternal … The rest of the story…
I’ve heard this from more than one person in literally every place I’ve ever lived. Regardless of whether it was in the South, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, or West. And I’ve heard it from more than one person in literally every place I’ve ever visited. “If you don’t like the weather, wait a little while, and it’ll change.” Or something to that effect. Like the … The rest of the story…
It was one of those weird things. And don’t ask what led me to such odd search engine results. But dream dust is apparently an issue for some people. And when I say “issue,” I mean it’s not good. People apparently dream of dust. And apparently those dreams reveal dark (and dare I say “sinister”) thoughts. Who’d’ve thunk a search for dream dust would … The rest of the story…
Several years I wrote a post about the lazy days of summer in eastern Kansas. Not because I thought Kansas was different from the rest of the country. But because that’s where I spent the summers of my formative school years. And now I don’t see those lazy days of summer anywhere. They’re long gone. Because, these days, most kids aren’t interested in sitting … The rest of the story…
I used to wear out a can of tennis balls pretty fast. And on a regular basis, too. I loved the game so much that, if I couldn’t find someone to play, I’d practice against a brick wall of an elementary school in a small town in Kansas. I had the latest tennis balls, shoes, rackets, and other gear. And I found a game … The rest of the story…
There’s a candy bar named after it. The center of the candy bar is made up of something called nougat (like newgut…not nugget). But this isn’t about the candy bar. I’m talkin’ about what it’s named after. And, of course, that’s the Milky Way Galaxy. Both the candy bar and the galaxy have a “chocolate” coating. Well, sort of. The candy bar is coated … The rest of the story…
