The proud father of identical twin girls and a son, after my marriage unraveled I traveled. I migrated from Philadelphia to San Jose where I lived and worked in California for three years. My wedding ring leapt off the Golden Gate Bridge. Workwise, the West is less demanding and less permissive while the East is more demanding but more permissive. The rats are larger in the East Coast rat race but the traffic is worse in the West Coast. After that I lived with my girlfriend in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and learned about the Midwest and what cold really is. A -28 windchill is something you and the dog never forget. Then I moved back to California, Southern this time where I lived and worked in Los Angeles. When the hills are on fire the sun turns bloddy red. Friday's rush hour begins Thursday at noon. I never understood the line in the Eagles song "You can check out but you can never leave" until I lived there. Like everywhere else, good and bad prevail but freedom and respect for fellow man is numero uno. After that I lived in Scottsdale, Arizona where they really do have an egg frying contest on the pavement each year. And it's not always a dry heat, either. They do have have rain and although infrequently, it immediately turns to steam when it hits the pavements producing humidity that could stop a herd of charging rhino dead in there tracks. Now I'm in Atlanta, Georgia enjoying the colorful cross-section of humanity and the friendly people. I think the movie Deliverance kind of recked things down here, unfortunately. Georgians are among the friendliest creatures on the planet.
I agree with Mark Twain's philosophy that if humor has one sole purpose it's to expose and destroy fake, fraud and superstition through laughter, "the greatest weapon known by mankind."
When You Gotta Go You Gotta Go
When You Gotta Go You Gotta Go After an hour drive it’s always a good idea to walk the dog. Well behaved in the car, Yoko deserved a break and I always make it a point to let her relieve herself after such a journey. We had just completed the 70 mile

Decrease Your Mortgage Payments Without Refinancing
by HarvardHorror | in Business & Finance > Personal Finance
Your earlier mortgage payments are mostly interest with very little going to pay off the principal. Gradually this changes. Most mortgages allow you to add the additional principal payment for the following month and add to the current payment thus making a "double principal payment" which will have a large impact as you approach the end of the loan.

A UFO in Maine: this is true!
by HarvardHorror | in Science & Technology > General
While vacationing in Maine with my dad, along with many other witnesses we saw an unidentified flying object in the sky. It was a clear day and we had an obstructed view. There are believers and there are nonibelievers. Until this moment I was the latter.

Mental Telepathy
by HarvardHorror | in Science & Technology > Software
A true story that effected my daughter and my self coincidentally on Father's Day, 2009. It involves a telephone, a fish and events that make perfect sense with with exception that they did not follow the normal order in which things usually occur.

How To Live With Coyotes (Coy-Wolves) in the Suburbs by marie.thomas
Coyotes are intelligent creatures that, like wolves, have taken the unwitting brunt of man’s vengeance for hundreds of years. But unlike wolves, they weren’t driven to extinction; they simply learned to lay low, change their habits or diet, or do whatever was necessary to survive..
