April 16th marked the anniversary of the birth of Charlie Chaplin. I have always been an admirer of his. He was a brilliant filmmaker, actor and even musician. When my neighbor Mr. Biggs learned about my plan to write a web post about Chaplin’s birthday, he asked me if I had ever been to the magical place called Chaplin, …
Popularity is a fickle thing. Not that I know anything about being popular.* But I have been told by people who actually experienced popularity, that it is fickle. NASA learned this fact in 1970 and it resulted in one of the most elaborate hoaxes in NASA’s long history of elaborate hoaxes. In 1969, if you actually believe them, NASA landed astronauts …

But in all that time, I can honestly say I never got a nicer response than the one I received from the wonderful people of the state of Ohio.

The main difference being, while the EBS transmits on radio and television stations, I just shout my updates from my back deck. I also put them here on the Internet. IMPORTANT NEWS USA Today is reporting an asteroid, identified as 2014 …

With that abstract thought in my head, I made a vow to educate the children of the world with books on subjects I am most knowledgeable. The …
I love creating pamphlets. Whenever I have a sufficient collection of interesting facts, I bundle them together into a pamphlet and distribute them to my fellow citizens. I feel it is my civic responsibility. I have been doing this for years. I have created pamphlets about Watergate, UFO’s, How To Use A Public Toilet, The Forestville Hum, and proper techniques …
In case you haven’t heard the news, the village of Forestville is about to get pounded by yet another winter storm. I know this because the NOAA weather radio I have has gone off.
