Singer-songwriter David Crosby dead at 81. Crosby, Stills & Nash's eponymous debut album marks the point where rock music transitioned from the heady explorations of the 1960s

Why have we, as a bright civilization, reached a state, where we accept that all sorts of uneducated nutcases are habitual liars?

In my first classroom, I remember our teacher repeating, "a word to the wise is sufficient."

Too many individuals who call themselves leaders or public servants inflate themselves as fake experts in all fields.

Today, most stupid people claim to have all the answers, while all the intelligent ones continue asking questions.

Knowledge, gained through studying new information, consists of vast data storage.

As I enjoy breakfast with my bride on her birthday, we both consume the same thing. Oatmeal, some fruit, and a hard-boiled egg.

There is a wide variety of oatmeal, which is a preparation of oats that have been de-husked, steamed, and flattened, or a coarse flour of hulled oat grains that have either been milled or steel-cut. Ground oats are also called white oats. Steel-cut oats are known as coarse oatmeal, Irish oatmeal, or pinhead oats.

They seem to get excited when you mention something interesting about their garden or something they personally take pride in establishing.
