In the introductory article I made mention of the well known Russian psychic Nina Kulagina. There is enough black and white film evidence that still survives today that begs the question, did she really have the powers to remotely control objects?
Do photographs and video prove facts, or not?

Yum! Mushrooms. Who doesn’t like them (if cooked properly, even kids will eat them).
The problem? Well, the Epicurious blog has an article on the joys of mushroom picking.

The “meme” in much of the press is blaming right wing political talk for the tragedy in Tucson. Well, this is not new: I remember a similar paranoia against the right after JFK was killed in Dallas, never mind that his killer was a communist who had earlier tried to kill General Walker, a real […]

You have survived the insanity of Christmas and New Year’s, you are back to work, and likely still nursing a hangover from over indulgence. January for many is a Blah month. Worse than that, it is a month of regret. Regret over the credit card bill that you know is headed to a mail box […]

Peace on Earth, Goodwill to men…except in the headlines.
You see headlines about NATO troops killed in Afghanistan. Yes, that nasty war is still going on. But the headlines don’t put it into perspective: the Taliban wants to stop education of girls, and any western type education for anyone. But the headlines don’t talk about positive […]

Picayune Mississippi, to some is just a sleepy retirement community. It is a community of some 20,000 souls, and boasts no amenities for those retired or not!

I have always enjoyed reading about people doing strange things. Holding up a bank and writing the demand on the back of your personalized deposit slip, or some of the great DUI stories, try this one.

Sometimes a story is so local it jumps up and bites you. Such is the case with the stash of potentially explosive materials found in an apartment building in the town where I live. Say hey for Delmar, New York. It’s a mighty nice place. Delmar is a suburb of Albany. The kind of […]
