This week we've been having freezing fog at night. The water slowly condenses, allowing for strong directional growth of ice crystals, resulting in these spectacular structures.

It's the first day if the semester and time to go see new smiling faces and influence curious minds.

Following on from my recent post examining what might be the objectives of the many 1000s of people in France rioting and fighting for change there - I have found a video from an articulate speaker there

The past two nights I've had lucid dreams. When I was in high school I had this happen all the time, but nothing since. Actually, I haven't remembered my dreams in years. The last time I had a regular

In the 1960s, the Netherlands discovered deposits of natural gas in the North Sea. As a result of this discovery, the export of this resource increased, causing the Dutch currency to appreciate considerably,

Here in France there is a feeling like something important is happening and despite the mainstream assumption this will all just blow over as it has done in the past, the movement is growing at a shocking

I have been thinking lately as to why STEEM is performing so abysmally compared to all other cryptocurrencies. We can talk all we want about the bear market and how every coin is performing badly in relation

I just bought two more SBI, putting me at 10 of the 50 I intend to purchase. I've spent the better part of the last hour remastering the content I'm teaching tomorrow. (I wrote the notes in 2011.) It is

So here I am, again. I've made progress with my health issues and am just now getting back on my feet. I've kept an eye on Steemit, but haven't made any significant posts or investments.  I've been

Greetings,  Some of you may have noticed my absence fro the platform. The past 4-6 weeks I've been having problems with depression. My employment is fairly challenging, mentally, physically, and

For my birthday this year I scrounged together my residual Steem and SBD to purchase 8 shares of @steembasicincome. As I mentioned in a previous post, now that I've reached 100 SP I intend to invest the

I'd describe this restaurant as what Applebees strives to be. I mean, the menu is reminiscent of Applebees, but the quality is slightly better. For example, their Fish and Chips are standard fair, ok but

So, I'm going to try for the Steemitboard Monthly Author award. This little post should earn the Weekly Author award. In so many ways, it seems lousy to shit post my way to these, but I'm looking a new

Finally, at the end of the season, my ice plant is taking off. We have been near the frost point recently, so hopefully it is sufficiently well dug in that it survives this first winter.

So I discovered today that many of my old posts had disappeared. Ok, so the posts didn't disappear, but the content has because it was hosted on DTube. If you go back 2-3 months you'll see a post with

Zips is a regional chain that specializes in fast food. Each restaurant is operated independently. Of all the Zips that I have been to, this one is the best managed. The fries are cooked at high temperature

Tonight I made a large Sirloin steak sandwich. The waffles are seasoned with Japanese nori seaweed and I double toasted them, once in the waffle maker and once in the toaster oven. For the topping I thin

Great sandwich shop that also serves breakfast. The atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. The decor is primarily concert and music posters, many from the '90s. There is always classic music playing, Cash,

It's hard to call this repair since I'm simply filling holes with spray foam, but it's necessary and still takes hours to deal with arranging the ladder and chasing out wasps. My plan is to shave off the
