When Godaddy moved to the use of WordPress, over 300 essays were deleted from my  blog.  I am in the process of recovering them. The material associated with most of the series is complete! The others are being fixed. It is a long process. I thank you for your patience. 

For the newcomers, the material on this blog contains some of my writings, many done with the help of Your on the Street Reporter, who is seen here:

 He’s a clever sleuth who makes known a lot of heretofore unrevealed facts about life, politics, finance, sex; just about any subject. In spite of some of his less than happy reports, I hope he provides you with a few laughs. For now, please permit my only marketing effort on this blog. I hope you will go to Amazon.com and check out my recent books. They are also available as an ebooks on Kindle, Barnes and Noble, Nook,  and can be obtained in local bookstores. 

I have put together a series of short essays taken from the prefaces of some of my books: Creatures and Computers. They compare the communications skills of animals to communications networks. This piece also includes a discussion about hand-made knives. It’s a bit unusual, and I hope you enjoy the read.
