Passing in the Night.

No. 753 A giant rock, an asteroid, passed the earth last evening, about 6:30 PM Eastern time. It missed us by about 200,000 miles. Where did it come from? We don’t know. Where will it stop? We don’t know that either. As a matter of fact, there is a universe full of things we don’t […]

Not Funny or too Hot?

No. 745 The Nineteenth edition of the Night of the Singing Dead is now over. It is a musical revue with celebrities who departed this earth as its primary focus. Very funny. Even therapeutic. But wait — the most important death of the year did not merit a single fleeting mention. It was Osama bin […]

In circa 1969, our left coast contemporaries loved to shock our parents with outrageous pronouncements. Now, some of those […]

Where Do You Find a Typewriter to Use Once?

No. 682 So. I need a typewriter, just once, to type on a form that can’t be hand printed. I see you can still buy them. But that would mean that I will have a piece of junk lying around that I will probably never use again. Or should I buy one on Ebay for […]
