I’ve been testing ChatGPT recently, attempting to determine how well it’s calibrated and if it actually worms around the web collecting truth or whether it’s just another propaganda device, like the media; created to confuse humanity even more than we already are. Is that possible? I suppose by collecting truth, I actually mean does it […]
Frontal lobes seperate Homo sapiens from all other life forms here in the Great Wide World. The prefrontal cortex is the most recent addition to the human brain. It’s the organ that enabled abstract thinking and the rapid evolution of a species; then came civilization, art and science. The prefrontal cortex has evolved to be disproportionally
I was reviewing the archive the other day and realized I haven’t written a political post in awhile. Vickie warned me away several months back, suggesting that society is divided enough, without 3mph adding fuel to the fire. I figured she’s probably right, being much wiser than I am, on the topic. But after reading
We lost our best buddy a week ago. Only dog people understand the very real trauma of losing a four legged companion. Dogs don’t live long, at least relative to humans, so if you’re going to keep dogs, you’re going to deal with loss. It’s never easy but this time it was extremely difficult. Max

Vickie and I spend a fair bit of time daily, walking and talking. Usually between 3 to 5 miles, sometimes further, as we search for that “just right” distance. If one of us doesn’t quite have the gumption, we cheer and coax each other on. I think that’s what God had in mind when he

Soaking up the sun is one of the best things you can do for your health. Sunlight is a super-power, that you should embrace every day.
Adaptation and integration are primary drivers of cultural evolution. Humanity’s not a beehive or an anthill; collective evolution flows forth from the creativity, energy and effort of millions of independent thinkers. That’s why it’s so important to dance to your own tune. Learn from others but no one knows what’s best for you more than

When I was a kid, somewhere around drinking and voting age, I identified as a Liberal. It might have been the music of the times – Dylan, Baez and Buffalo Springfield or it might have been the mythology the media created around Camelot and JFK that infatuated me. “Ask not what your country can do

There’s a lot to love about “The Great State of Texas” and fishing is at the top of my list. There may not be a better place in the Great Wide World to go fishing. There’s better trout fishing in the rivers and streams of the mighty Rocky Mountains. There’s better flats fishing on the

Our journey through life has at times been chaotic, beautiful, sad, joyful, inspired, amazing, painful and oh, did I mention chaotic. One of the most important discoveries has been that life’s about learning. When you pay attention you learn the important lessons of life. When you don’t pay attention, those lessons keep repeating, again and
