Where are the aliens?
So, here we are on planet earth – our microcosm in an unspeakably vast universe. This is where it all happens for us. Life here does not require any outside resources – we are completely self-contained (however, we do need the sun) and it’s been that way for billions of years. Though we can see… Continue reading

Our Time on Earth
If it were not for the Chicxulub meteor some 65 million years ago, life on earth might be very different today. Without this dinosaur extinction event, there likely wouldn’t have been room for mammals to evolve into modern humans. But, unlike the dinosaurs, we humans are here for a good time, not a long time. … Continue reading

The Big Picture is Surreal
I’m glad I lived long enough to see the images taken by the James Webb Telescope. It’s something I’ve been waiting decades for, and I wasn’t disappointed.

Cell Phone Charges
I live in Canada and we pay a lot for our cell phone data. In fact, according to recent stats, we are the most expensive in the world. Looking at it on a graph, we are way out there and no one else is even close. Why? I’m not sure, to be honest. Maybe it’s… Continue reading

Walking 5 km a day
I’m starting a new exercise regime. I call it the 5-5. Lol! Sounds funny, yes. An old friend of mine already had a good laugh over it – but I’ve been doing it now for over a month and I honestly feel so much better. I’ve lost a little weight, I feel tighter, lighter and… Continue reading

Humans and Nature
As a species, we are unique and very far removed from the rest of the animal kingdom. Through evolution, our large brains provided everything we needed and allowed us to build a comfy society. But that’s really all we have. We don’t have super senses like most other animals or natural tools for survival (fur,… Continue reading

Will We Use Nuclear Weapons?
For anyone growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, the threat of nuclear war was something that was always hiding in the background while we got on with everyday life. That thing that was so horrific, so unimaginable, that few of us dwelled on it, lest we allow it to consume our lives. But one… Continue reading
