Is Life A Chess Game, Just Food For Thought.

Ever wonder what it would be like if life and politics were like a chess game? I have a good friend of mine that has written a good piece about his thoughts on this subject, and was kind enough to share them with me, and it is simply called "Chessboard". His name is Steve Myers, and he has given me permission to write about his concepts of politics and how he perceives them in the format of a chess game. I... (posted by Gary W.

Arizona Border Issues "Illegal Aliens", Sound Like Something From Star Trek

Howdy everybody, it's me again, a blast from the past, and I need to let my frustrations fly on paper, because it is difficult to refrain from saying anything about this issue, To me this issue is so obvious. What part of illegal doesn't the American government understand? What part of illegal don't we the people understand? Illegal is indeed...illegal. Its not profiling, it's... (posted by Gary W.

Life After Death, The True Meaning, and What Is It?

Independence Day, And What it Means To Me

Every year when Independence Day rolls around, I am reminded of several things, how lucky I am to be an American, and the freedoms that come with this privilege, the women and men who over the decades that have fought and died to maintain those freedoms, and the Declaration Of Independence. Phrases like, "We hold these truths to be self evident, THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL". Yes... (posted by Gary W. Halsey Sr. 2 years 220 days ago.)

A Bird In The Garden, Is Worth Two In A Casket

It all started when we started our little project the "Veggie Garden". We had the bright idea of planting a veggie garden this year, and so I went down to the local rental place, and rented a rototiller. Well, we bought bags and bags of soil to mix in with the sand that is here in the desert, and quite honestly, we didn't think anything was going to survive with 109 degree temperature, really, c'mon. But... (posted by Gary W. Halsey Sr. 2 years 222 days ago.)
