My Comments: I had the pleasure, and the good fortune, to know Dr. Cade personally. Along with other friends and associates, we enjoyed lunch together over countless days. We told stories, talked business, sports, and shared gossip. He was delightful to be with and those days leave lasting good memories for me. The headline of …

Hump Day: Dumb Cheese Jokes
This is but the second week of this effort and quality stuff is hard to find. This doesn’t quite rise to the level of what I want but I was desperate. Answers below. 1. What did the cheese say to itself in the mirror? 2. Which hotel do mice stay in? 3. What do you …
Hump Day – New Disease Identified
My Comments: Mindful that life is short and it’s too easy to take oneself seriously all the time, it occurred to me that each Wednesday, or Hump Day, it might make sense to share something not so serious. With the GOP debates tonight on CNN, keep this in mind if you plan to watch them. …
The Next Hiroshima?
My Comments: As a financial planner, my job is to identify existential financial threats faced by a client and attempt to remedy the potential problem before it becomes a real problem.

My Thoughts: An example of our insignificance in the universe; here is a short (1.10 mins) video that portrays a shower of gamma rays from a galaxy far, far away. The video was posted on a web site I often visit sponsored by NASA. Every day there is new image or video that reflects something …
A Groundwater Crisis?
My Comments: Jeb Bush may call me intellectually arrogant, and others will think I’m a kook. However, I think anyone hoping to join the elite fraternity of global thought leaders needs to take this very seriously. Imagine the California drought on a global scale. Most of us have little ability to change and survive if …
A Dishonest History of the Last War
My Comments: I'm already very tired of this story. But given we are near the start of the next presidential election cycle, it’s not going away. Too bad. Articles like this one serve to improve my bulls@@t meter as I’m assailed by the media and bombasts trying to persuade me they are the ONLY ONES …
America Could Have Been One Giant Sweden — Instead It Looks a Lot Like the Soviet Union
My Comments: This is a long, uncomfortable article that predicts how the world might evolve economically and politically over the next several decades. My generation will have passed on soon, but regardless of your political stripes today, it will be different. If you want to take back America, or at least preserve what we have, …
The End of Florida?
My Comments: I have just two. One is that Florida has about 1350 miles of coastline and that does not include rivers that are somewhat tidal. Two is that if God is all seeing and all knowing, how come he’s only telling some of us to be aware of what’s coming and to properly prepare …
