I have watched the earth continue to be washed out from under this tree over the last 6 years and the tree has been surviving this onslaught for a very long time. The soil under the tree is almost gone. I am expecting one day to see the tree standing on roots alone and all […]

Is China and Japan: The “Black Swan” event that could finalize and trigger World War Three, as America sticks its nose into it… You can’t force democracy in a country that can’t separate church and state. The Muslim’s religion is their Constitution… I see comparisons between America and Germany. Do some reading – Germans never […]

I am from the old days and use terms that are akin to that era. Sveta is a trip to listen to her talk English, as I hear myself in her words. Sveta is sharp as a tack and just calling her an intellect is a disservice to say the least… One expression that I […]
