My Heart: Privatization of Social Security

http://jimphilheart.blogspot.com/2015/04/privatization-of-social-security.html

Thursday, April 9, 2015. Privatization of Social Security. OK, this is going to be a borderline rant. Grab on and hold on to something, it may be a wild ride. The Wall Street gang isn't worried about whether the trust funds will be invested at a profit or a loss (see the housing bubble crash of 2008), as long as the money goes through their hands they can rake in a fortune.

My Heart: Corregidor, Fourth of July 2013

http://jimphilheart.blogspot.com/2013/07/corregidor-fourth-of-july-2013.html

Saturday, July 6, 2013. Corregidor, Fourth of July 2013. We took a Fourth of July trip to Corregidor Island. Corregidor is a fairly small island set in the middle of the entry to Manila Bay, about 26 miles from Manila and about 3 miles off the coast of the Bataan Peninsula. It was the scene of terrible fighting and a grim siege at the beginning of World War II. It seemed like an appropriate place to commemorate the Fourth of July. The Filipino Guerrilla Fighter. The Goddess of Peace. One of the many side...

My Heart: August 2012

http://jimphilheart.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 5, 2012. Thai Vacation, Part V-Buddha. Not much to write in this entry, just an assortment of pictures of statues of the Buddha from some of the different temples in and around Chiang Mai. Fascinating in their variety and often very beautiful. My favorite is the green one. The material is glass, but our guide said it was a copy of a statue in Bangkok, and the original is made of emerald. I'd love to see that. Saturday's image of the Buddha. The Buddha Seated under a Naga (Seven Headed ...

Monday, December 3, 2012. Palawan Vacation, Part V, Flora. I did a post of wildlife, so now flowers and plants. This is such a beautiful place, I hope these pictures capture a little bit of that beauty. This was taken from the patio in the back of our hotel room. As we exited the underground river. I can't tell you anything about these flowers, except that they're beautiful. Palawan Vacation, Part IV-The Entrance to the Cavern. Mexica on the river bank. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

My Heart: June 2013

http://jimphilheart.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 15, 2013. Visiting Japan-Day Four-The Gardens. The umbrella was not for any rain! The gardens were so well kept and beautifully organized, it was amazing, and the variety of flowers was just dizzying. A little glimpse of how they organize the gardens. You can see on the bare ground that there are chalk lines laid out, with a designated area for each kind or color of bloom. There were workers planting in this area as we strolled the grounds. The greenhouse had flowers besides begonias, too.

My Heart: November 2012

http://jimphilheart.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 21, 2012. Palawan Vacation, Part III, Wildlife and Fauna. Once you got out of Puerto Princesa, you started seeing more domestic animals, dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, goats and carabao. There were birds on the beach. It was different, more alive with fauna besides humans. Much as I appreciate the human species, I enjoy other animals too. Palawan has them. Carabao cart on the beach at Palawan.

My Heart: March 2013

http://jimphilheart.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 5, 2013. A very recent picture of my sister. My wonderful sister died this morning after a fierce battle with Adrenal Cortical cancer. It was almost exactly a year from her diagnosis until her death. Even though she was never given any hope of beating her disease she fought it with grace, dignity and heart for many months. I admire the spirit with which she confronted her coming end. Monday, March 4, 2013. We stayed at the Disneyland Hollywood Hotel. It was very convenient, they had a ...
