Saw another post complaining about Ken Burns. Post was trying to say that the Founding Fathers were all Christians, thus all the same religion and that Burns was pushing a Marxist trope of multiculturalism. 🤦‍♂️

Not retired yet, but downshifted to part-time. I have been giving this some thought. I already live in a pretty good location in the mountain suburbs of San Jose. Pretty high quality of life (restaurants, health care, cultural stuff, etc). Weather is pretty good: mid 70s almost year round (gets...

I don't see Buckle will give up power easily. And we know that absolute power corrupts very easily. His brother runs their basketball federation and their entire sports structure. He has poured big time money into their hoops team; have beaten him 5 times during my sting (4 of those were...

Okay Anglos...here's a few classics in Spanish. More of a New Year's song

I've been careful about what I post or don't post on social media since the first Trump admin. How do you keep out subjectivity from this process? Immigration officials have an awful lot of power...how they interpret something could really have an adverse effect. What if they misunderstand...

From what Ive seen at some other schools....those disabilities can also be used to game the housing system (preferred dorms or single rooms).

Went wacky on second guess and it paid off. Wordle 1,634 2/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Wrote papers for my AP classes in English Lit and American history. Yep, I knew all those things.
