Muggsy's Brain: Bingo!

http://muggsysbrain.blogspot.com/2014/02/bingo.html

Thoughts, dreams, opinions and stories. On Monday, February 24, 2014. Where do you get your morals? To be honest with you, I was raised Roman Catholic and most of my morals come from there. However, one doesn't need to be religious, or to believe in some sort of Divine Punishment to know that killing, stealing and fucking your neighbor's wife are all shitty things to do. And there are plenty of cultures that came up with societal rules with absolutely no exposure to the Judeo-Christian God. No it isn't&#...

Muggsy's Brain: August 2011

http://muggsysbrain.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Thoughts, dreams, opinions and stories. Okay, Calm Down. On Friday, August 12, 2011. Back in 2009 I wrote about a guy in Florida. Who is a member of the same online forum as I. He was young, arrogant and had a chip on his shoulder the size of Gibraltar. Later he mellowed out, became a thoughtful if not a bit snarky person and became one of my favorite posters. That all changed again recently when the subject of "lane-splitting" on a motorcycle came up. I hate people who think they are entitled to somethi...

Muggsy's Brain: March 2012

http://muggsysbrain.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Thoughts, dreams, opinions and stories. Skeptical Questions That Need To Be Asked. On Tuesday, March 6, 2012. Adherents to the above mentioned pseudo-sciences and their followers will often claim that they have some sort of "proof" of their claims. However, much of what they present is anecdotal at worst or just bad science at best. These questions need to be asked before a claim can be given any consideration:. Has the subject shown progress? Are popular articles on the subject lacking in references?

Muggsy's Brain: Religion and Politics

http://muggsysbrain.blogspot.com/2012/09/religion-and-politics.html

Thoughts, dreams, opinions and stories. On Tuesday, September 4, 2012. I found this in the comments section of this blog. Which is devoted for the most part to debunking the claims made by pseudo-historian David Barton. Who claims that the Founding Fathers, and Thomas Jefferson in particular, were Christians whose aim it was to create a Christian nation. The Ten Commandments of our Founding Fathers. 1 Your neighbor’s religion is none of your concern. Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782. Thomas Pain...

Muggsy's Brain: May 2012

http://muggsysbrain.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Thoughts, dreams, opinions and stories. On Saturday, May 19, 2012. Marty Sundvall (12/12/1965 - 5/13/2012). WARNING: Some of this post may be too graphic for some readers. My friend Marty was looking pretty bad back in February. His legs and feet got so swollen he couldn't even tie his shoes and his skin and eyes were taking on a sickly yellow hue. In his words:. Monday morning he could barely walk. They stuck a tube into his belly and drained a liter and a half of liquid which they sent to the lab for a...

Muggsy's Brain: April 2012

http://muggsysbrain.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Thoughts, dreams, opinions and stories. On Thursday, April 12, 2012. Have you ever heard of "lane splitting"? Some motorcyclists believe that their small size and agility makes driving in between cars on multi-lane highways an acceptable behavior, especially during traffic jams and slowdowns. In most states such action is illegal, and for good reason. In other states, however, it is perfectly legal. I think it's dangerous and stupid. Why is lane splitting dangerous? No Not at all. Not even a little&#...

Shameless Advertising for my Daughter | Old before Wise Blog

https://oldbeforewise.wordpress.com/2008/12/19/shameless-advertising-for-my-daughter

Old before Wise Blog. Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise–King Lear. Laquo; Old before wise. Social Life, Social Media, and Business. Shameless Advertising for my Daughter. A day or so after my friend CCSeed got me on Twitter and convinced me I need to become a blogger, I received an email from my younger daughter informing me that now that the democrats had triumphed, she was no longer giving all her spare time to Minnesota’s Democratic Farmer Labor party. She was now a blogger.

Thoughts, dreams, opinions and stories. On Sunday, April 24, 2011. The cast of characters:. A big ol' bone-in pork chop. The salsa is a mixture of finely diced jalapenos, Serranos, poblano, orange bell pepper, red onion, garlic, Fuji apple, raisins, salt, pepper, sugar, cilantro, cumin, white vinegar and lemon juice. The parsnip puree contains a couple of medium parsnips, a small potato, butter, white pepper and chicken stock. 1/4 cup brown sugar; light is best. 1/4 tsp ground cumin. 1/4 tsp ground cloves.

Muggsy's Brain: November 2011

http://muggsysbrain.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Thoughts, dreams, opinions and stories. I Ain't Scared of No Ghost. On Monday, November 21, 2011. Now I hear tell that there is going to be a “documentary” made about the so-called “ghosts” that “haunt” the place. Their methods are unproven and using a unproven method to measure an unproven phenomenon is of little scientific value. Everything else about the supposed haunting of the Pioneer Place is based on stories (anecdotal evidence), feelings and other equally unmeasurable, ambiguous and non-confirmab...
