Rational Conservatism from the Rocky Mountains
Roof repair. No, that isn’t our roof. They haven’t actually started working on it yet. In the end our insurance covered the complete replacement cost for our roof repair, minus our $1,000.00 deductible. Which was the best possible result I could have hoped for. They have already sent us a check for about 70% of [...]
…. at work that is. Our company just had a fairly major re-organization. Or I should say is in the process of completing a fairly major re-organization. The re-org is supposedly not including any “lay-offs”, at least not officially, but the end result has been quite a few job force reductions in several areas. Including [...]
So, I’ve noted before on this blog that when I was in high school I did a senior research paper on the impending threat of doom that “Global Cooling” presented to civilization. Since then I’ve watched as a series of environmental disasters has been hyped up by an entirely corrupt and incompetent press. Just in [...]
There is a growing possibility that I may be moving to Georgia. Hate to leave Colorado, but sometimes life sorta happens.
In case I haven’t mentioned it, the Cosmic Clan has been working like crazy to get our house ready to sell. I’ve only sold one house before, and that was right in the heady heyday of the housing bubble market, so I am sure I have no realistic notion of what to expect in today’s [...]

So, last night the Cosmic Mother sent me an interesting email detailing the supposed genealogical history of her maternal grandfather. The story (which was written up in a local newspaper upon his passing, so its got some level of credibility) is that at the age of 19, in 1893, this guy pulled up stakes and [...]
I’ve seen this same story reported before, with varying degrees of optimism and technical accuracy. Basically it’s another story about creating a graphene water filter. (Reuters) – A defense contractor better known for building jet fighters and lethal missiles says it has found a way to slash the amount of energy needed to remove salt [...]
The search is all but over for a subatomic particle that is a crucial building block of the universe. Physicists announced Thursday they believe they have discovered the subatomic particle predicted nearly a half-century ago, which will go a long way toward explaining what gives electrons and all matter in the universe size and shape.
