http://kerkphil.blogspot.com/2015/04/i-like-uber-lot.html

Random wandering and thoughts from Kerk Phillips. Sunday, April 5, 2015. I Like Uber. A Lot! I've been reading a lot about Uber. Over the past long while, but living in Orem, Utah, have been unable to really try it out. This past week on a 4-day business trip to Washington, DC I've used it a couple if times myself and numerous times with a group. I really like it and here are a few reasons why:.

Kerk's Ramblings: Politicians are the Worst Kind of Hypocrits

http://kerkphil.blogspot.com/2015/04/politicians-are-worst-kind-of-hypocrits.html

Random wandering and thoughts from Kerk Phillips. Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Politicians are the Worst Kind of Hypocrits. I don't normally get overtly political, but this kind of hypocrisy (which happens routinely across the political spectrum, by the way) just demands a response. Let’s do some arithmetic, shall we? Full professors at public doctoral institutions made $126,981 in salary in the 2013-2014 academic year, and instructors at those schools made $50,032.". Washington Post Apr 7, 2014. Assume a te...

Kerk's Ramblings: Tetonic Symmetry

http://kerkphil.blogspot.com/2015/03/tetonic-symmetry.html

Random wandering and thoughts from Kerk Phillips. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. A bird of prey swoops. Eerie darkening skies loom. Dry grasses ripple in the pale sun. A herd of deer gathers at the meadow's edge. The reds, oranges and yellows of Fall are long fled. Stands of bare white aspen mingle with blue spruce and Douglas fir. Restless waves build on the midnight water of the lake. Far away granite peaks point to the heavens. A cold stream grey and wet rushes by. Small creatures huddle for warmth.

Kerk's Ramblings: Venetian Landscape Paintings

http://kerkphil.blogspot.com/2015/04/venetian-landscape-paintings.html

Random wandering and thoughts from Kerk Phillips. Sunday, April 5, 2015. I spent a few hours yesterday (April 4, 2015) at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Most of that time was spent looking at early Italian painting and paintings by the Dutch masters in the west wing of the main floor. The Fortress of Königstein. I fell in love with several landscape/architecture paintings by Venetian masters. Mostly from this gallery. Here is a list of the landscapes I liked most. The Porta Portello, Padua.

Kerk's Ramblings: Cahokia Mounds

http://kerkphil.blogspot.com/2015/04/cahokia-mounds.html

Random wandering and thoughts from Kerk Phillips. Thursday, April 30, 2015. I visited Cahokia Mounds. Today It is a very interesting site, and has a great museum or, as they call it, interpretive center. Cahokia was the historically largest urban center in North America north of Mexico until the mid 1700's when Philadelphia surpassed it. At its height more than 20,000 people lived in the six square miles centered around the complex of mounds there. The largest structure there is Monks Mound. Reconstructe...
