Sights in and around Lake Worth

Last night, I was walking down the street, and as I was approaching Toojays two old couples came walking out of the restaurant. As we got to the street corner, there was a sudden “clang!”, and I turned to see one of the husbands falling backwards to the ground after …

Living on the edge…

One thing that I especially deplore in my existence, is that due to my being in South Florida, travel on I-95 is a necessity. 95 is not like the quaint highways and turnpikes back home, but is rather a ramble of thousands of people who all want to get to …

Words

No purpose, no point. Just was curious about a few words this Christmas night. I’d just watched Equilibrium tonight, as i recently hit upon a dystopian movie watching streak. And knowing the adjective of the movie was dystopia, I wondered what other words also related to it… These are my findings: …

Danger, Will Robinson!

After updating to the latest, greatest WordPress, it would appear that hyperlinks no longer work. This royally bites, but only for a little while, as I’m certain a fix will be found or an explanation offered. In the meantime, though, I’m just a little aggravated by this…

On Florida, Lake Worth, Etc

I hate Florida. Trully, I do. I didn’t set out to move here, it just worked out that way. Many years ago, I was offered an opportunity to move here for 6 months to work with a friend. It paid very good money, and having amassed a substantial amount of …

And onto bit coins…

From the get go. Or really, not from the get go, but from the moment bitcoins were brought to my attention, some 6 or 7 months ago by a friend, the phenomenon has made no sense to me. The US dollar is doomed because it’s got nothing backing it, they …
