We are working towards a clarification of ISIS and its satellites, using Nigeria as an example.
Please forgive me for beginning this entry with a statement that I have...
As usual, I did not intend to wait as long between entries as I did, particularly since I knew pretty much what I intended to write. However, once I started to pursue sources of...
We haven't had too many typical November days so far this year. There's been a lot of sunshine and it's stayed relatively warm so far--high 50s and low 60s for the most part....
And now to ISIS. As announced I will not give a history of this organization (except in the sketchiest terms), nor go into all of their present machinations in detail. The...
Continued from the previous post.
The Kharijites
Taking Aïsha out of the picture did not uncomplicate matters very much. The big question between the followers of Ali...
I’m posting this entry, which is a patchwork quilt of some earlier ones, in response to the bombings carried out by ISIS members in Paris on 11/13/2015. You cannot fight...
Last time I tried to show you that the number zero, when put under a little bit of inspection, becomes a whole lot more than just a symbol for "nothing." My intention was to...
So, did you do your additions and divisions as suggested on the last post? Did you come up with that strange number 1.61803 ...?
To take things one step further, are you...
Pretty soon my blog should have more conceptual content again, as well as pictures, but at the moment it must serve merely as vehicle to report on my medical adventures to...
Mini-stroke (def.)
1. In mini-golf an integer added to your total score each time your club head addresses a ball and propels it into motion. Also, the number you may have...
A quick notice on matters of physical health. No particularly engaging ideas, but a few items too long for your basic Facebook post. Actually, I still have matters that I would...
Continuing my report on our travel in North Dakota. I.T. suggested exploring the medicinal uses of prairie plants. I thought that this was a good idea, but had no clue as to...
Predictably, I fell into my same old pattern again. Having launched two entries of the slightly newly formatted blog, my plans for the third entry were too ambitious to...
With reference to yesterday (Thursday):
What an awesome the day! We drove around the loop of Theodore Roosevelt National Park (Southern Segment), stopping every few...
So, the tenth anniversary of the blog rolled around a few days ago without entry or fanfare. Still, I’m not ready to give it up yet. Maybe if I can go back to the way it...
Wow! We’ve had some really nice days last week. This week we’re paying for them with dark clouds, thunderstorms, and high humidity. Those conditions presage that...
Yes, that’s what this is. A blog entry. I think it’s been well over six weeks, but I hesitate to look it up because I don’t like to think how long I have not...
Third day; third attempt. On Wednesday evening I tried to write a blog entry, and I got quite a lot written. The problem was that, by the time I quit, I had put together several...
First, an irritation: I don’t get very many comments for my blog entries here on Bravejournal; but that's not it. Most of the discussion, if there is any, winds up taking...
I really try not to turn this blog into either a medical diary or a weather journal, but when things get weird, I don’t want to leave them out either. Right now the...
So much for things warming up a bit towards this weekend. If we should actually get above freezing, it’ll be just a smidgeon for a very short time tomorrow (Saturday). The...
I could have sworn that I saw some robins about a month ago in a little thicket-surrounded gully next to where we parked for the walk-in clinic. One must, of course, take into...
I think I’ve mentioned before that we’re in the process of moving rooms around in the house. This time the reason is to relocate the bedroom downstairs in what is...
