Tug







I love it when Tug gets on my lap while I'm working and rests his chin on my arm.  He makes it difficult for me to earn a living..

Mulberry Tree


Somebody asked me about Mulberry trees the other day, and I honestly didn't know a thing about them. I've probably seen hundreds or thousands of them in my life, but I've never identified one.

It looks like a beautiful spreading deciduous tree.

Google Watch








Dennis Miller on the Smartwatch:

"Anytime I can watch 'Gone With the Wind' on a screen the size of a Bazooka Joe comic I'm a happy man."

Best video of the Wedge I've seen. Watch this full screen. The only thing missing is the smell of the surf.

Religion: "A Mighty Bulwark"









And among the teachings of Baha'u'llah is that religion is a mighty bulwark. If the edifice of religion shakes and totters, commotion and chaos will ensue and the order of things will be utterly upset, for in the world of mankind there are two safeguards that protect man from wrongdoing. One is the law which punishes the criminal; but the law prevents only the manifest crime and not the concealed sin; whereas the ideal safeguard, namely, the religion of God, prevents both the manifest and the concealed crime, trains man, educates morals, compels the adoption of virtues and is the all-inclusive power which guarantees the felicity of the world of mankind. But by religion is meant that which is ascertained by investigation and not that which is based on mere imitation, the foundations of Divine Religions and not human imitations.
