Smiles Matter: October 2014
http://smilesmatter.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 2, 2014. How rust saved America. Rust, iron oxide, is all around us, giving rocks a pumpkin hue, infusing crossing a cast iron bridge an element of danger or allowing the outside world to permeate the floorboards of old VWs. Maybe I can discover something important, but I won't, 'cause I am not interested at all. All in the name of some spy mission. Iron oxide had its part at the Watergate, with the Beatles at Abbey Road Studios, in the Nixon White House. Video tape made football un...

Smiles Matter: April 2011
http://smilesmatter.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 15, 2011. Today we had a silent retreat as part of the chaplaincy program. I wrote several poems, and I think this is the best:. I see you, said God. Hidden in a rock. As if it were so. As if a rock could hide God's shadow. Contain all the holy-. And Moses, like my beloved nephew, ran round the other side to see. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Life is a chain reaction. We each have our part in it. The butterfly is not in the Amazon,. It is at the corner of your mouth- SMILE.

Smiles Matter: December 2010

The LED lights don't show up the right colors on my camera, but you'll get the idea of what I saw. And nine tiny reindeer. actually. And I didn't have to walk a mile for these! Which is lucky, because tonight is cold and windy in Louisiana! The little teddy bears. and santa in a roadster? It's cold. I'm going inside.

Smiles Matter: June 2011
http://smilesmatter.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 5, 2011. The spillway takes the pressure off New Orleans levees. Today (5/15) I had off work (I worked yesterday) and so after a very nice nap, I decided to go see the river. The best place to view the Mississippi is just north of the Bonnet Carre Spillway, in Norco, LA. In the image above, the Mississippi is on the right, and the normally dry spillway is on the left. it leads to Lake Pontchartrain. The scale of the thing is hard to photograph. each hole is pretty big. Unlike the surge from ...
