How to Schedule Gmail Messages
I am hesitant to use 3rd-party apps in my Gmail until & unless someone I know has recommended it. Luckily, I keep this page bookmarked for just such an occasion. Let me know what you think of it!

Hamburger Meat
THIS says it better than I could ever describe the “picking and pecking and pushing and prodding and poking” that drove me ABSOLUTELY BANANAS in my marriage.

Game-Changer
This is a real game-changer. And by "game," I mean the race-baiting antics and comments of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder, and yes, Barack Obama, among many others.

Transparent? Yes, We See Right Through You
Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber was caught bragging about deceiving the American people, who he thinks are stupid.
"… if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in, you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, [Obamacare] would not have passed. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical to get for the thing to pass."
UPDATE 11/13/14
Nancy Pelosi doesn't know who Jonathan Gruber is, and has reassured us he didn't help write the Obamacare bill.
I feel better already.
UPDATE 11/14/14
Another video clip has surfaced.
And this one where Gruber confirms Obama was in on the deliberate planning of the deception:
UPDATE 11/15/14
What I see in the video below smells to me like the far-left liberal Marxist tactics exposed in the book "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness."

The Never-Ending TV Company Issue
I don't initiate a support chat in order to receive a sales pitch for a product that isn't marketed toward my best interests. I can't believe in this day and age, we still cannot get TV content a la cart, but instead have to pay for dozens and dozens of channels we will never use, just to get the few we want. Well, at least with the major players we can't. I hate online support chat, but when I do have to enter that realm, I let them have it.

Is Capitalism Environmentally Unsustainable?
Human activity is remaking the face of the Earth: transforming and polluting the landscape, warming the atmosphere and oceans, and causing species to go extinct. The orthodox view among ecologists is that human liberty—more specifically economic activity and free markets—is to blame.

Why ADV/DS Motorcylists Don't Wave At Street Bikers
10. They know you probably don't know what a DS or ADV bike is, anyway.
9. They are too busy thinking of that remote mountain lake they are headed to.
8. They don't want to make you feel jealous for being a pavement slave.
7. They are uncomfortable sitting on that 2X4.
6. They use their helmet visor to assist with a head nod.
5. They feel it's unsafe to wave while popping a wheelie off of the sidewalk.
4. They are too busy anticipating the turnoff onto the gravel road up ahead. The gravel road you just rode past without even noticing. Because you can't ride on gravel.
3. They don't wave to people who can't ride on gravel.
2. They got told once by a certain motorcycle gang member they don't wave at "dirt bike m-fers." You might belong to a motorcycle gang.
1. They are too busy riding their own ride, on any road, trail, or goat track they want to ride on.

What I Am Reading
"As I got older my ambition began to boil and my fight with the education system intensified. I wasn't the only one who suffered. I would look around the classroom - in the dismal stillness of a teacher's droned lecture, or worse, as the scratch of pencils made the only sound - to see dozens of kids in slow atrophy. Of course, there were those who didn't mind it, or were too young to question the system, as well as those who seemed to actually thrive in the structure - watching them made me feel all the more dysfunctional. What was it they had that I lacked? However, I wasn't alone in my struggles, and over the years saw many brilliant and creative young minds bounded by walls, rules, conformity, and endless boredom. Artists, musicians, athletes, farmers, and free spirits of every kind of been hammered into submission by and archaic, outdated system. Even today it kills me to watch kids drag through school during the years when they should be out in the world, experiencing and learning. What does education do? As Thoreau famously answered: "'It makes a straight cut ditch out of a free, meandering brook.'"
Can you relate to this? I sure can.

A Million Geocaches In the US!
Not too long ago, we "celebrated" a million geocaches worldwide, and I remember thinking geocaching had grown too mainstream.
Now we have a million caches in the US.
