Once upon a time, many years ago, I had a Civil Service job and was making the princely sum of about $3,000/month ($150/day). At the time it was one of the highest paid Civil Service positions in the State of California. (For the most part, higher levels were political appointees.) I had a [...]]]></description>

One ounce of gold will just about buy you enough food to survive for one year for one person.
How much food do you have and where should  you be putting your money today?
I have been looking at the food system at http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/foodpak1.aspx.  Now, I understand that most of us don’t really [...]]]></description>

The 1983 movie _War Games_ has a sentient computer put in charge (actually, it gains control) of all American nuclear weapons. The computer “games” all the possible outcomes of thermonuclear war, whether the Americans attack first, the Russians attack first, the Russians attack the Chinese who then attack America, and so on; [...]]]></description>

The idea behind the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights was to secure to citizens the blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness by way of the sanctity of private property and the least possible foreign government.

Yeah, I admit it. I made a mistake. I don’t even have an excuse. I thought I could work within the System and perhaps even make a difference. What a mistake!

(You Fool Me Once…)
Leo Durocher once said, “Baseball is a game of percentages.” Leo was wrong. What he SHOULD have said was, “Baseball is a game of probabilities.” Of course, while somewhat correct, that is still insufficient. A correct statement is, “LIFE is a game of probabilities.”
Being a professional statistician, I often cringe [...]]]></description>

Recently I met a lady who like I, labors to gather, cut and split fire wood for supplemental heat in the winter months. Mutual knowledge of this shared activity provided a common ground for further personal communications.
