My view of the eclipse.

Right there you show the perspective (bias) of your view of history. Other people can and do make historical claims to the land. And the Jewish settlements in the occupied territories is not simply something the government has failed to stop, under current leadership promoting them is...

Very good information, but there are a couple of key points that I do not agree with. First of course is that the area was "originally" called Judea. There has always been others in that region before and after the people if Israel came to be. Second, the idea that modern Israel has been...

I ran the question as to " why there has been no creation of a Palestinian State" past my daughter who will graduate at the end of this semester from USU with a bachelor degree in international studies, a minor in anticipatory intelligence (basically national security risk analysis) and a...

My wife tolerated my kids and I (oldest was probably about 10) attempt to reassemble a near complete elk skeleton we found on the deer hunt (winter kill from the previous year) on the kitchen table.

Alone time is good, but finding someone you can talk to is important.

Some great, well thought out discussion. Good reading! I don't see it expanding beyond another round of regional conflict- sort of thing that happens far too often in the region. One failure from the US (the west in general) has been the failure to create an actual Palestinian nation. On...

Lily gets by far the most joy out of our redone lawn as well.

We are just wrapping up a loop through Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Some beautiful spots, but far from peak. Many locals have told us leaves are about 2 weeks behind.

I have a Wiggy's pad for car/boat etc and for extreme weather (have used it to -40). But now need one for a float trip this fall.

I was not a big fan of Santorini, but all these posts do make me miss the food from my two Greece trips last year.

I am looking for a good, inflatable sleeping pad for a two week trip this fall. Needs to be reasonable compact (not upper body only back packing level), insulating and durable since will have no way to replace if fails on me. Suggestions? Any while we are at it, sleeping bags with the same...

Loyalty is of course earned, but as others have said those who quit without notice or go quickly through jobs don't often make it to the hiring stage with us. And it is far better as an employer to do what is needed to keep quality staff instead of having them leave for greener pastures and...

As a business owner I have to admit this is spot on. My staff average pay has probably doubled over the last 5-7 years- and honestly is well deserved and long over due. And still has room for improvement. Many of us as business owners don't want to pay staff a fair wage (define that however...

I don't think that cell phones could be considered a luxury, even if many of us grew up with out them. As the indoor plumbing example above shows, as society changes so does what is considered normal or necessary. I would honestly have to say that my kids (and many of their friends) were far...

And let's be honest here. Every generation complains about the one after them, nothing new there at all. The irony of course is we are the ones responsible for having raised the younger generations, but that seldom seems to come up when complaining.
