I’m Proud to be an American
Today, I sit in a home that keeps the rain off my head, the cold away in winter, and provides me with shelter from the elements. It is my castle. I, and my bank, own it. I have a vehicle that will carry me and mine. It is a workhorse that does what I need.…

Swamp Coolers
How do we know that either Hell is one single temperature or there are no engineers in Hell? If there was a temperature differential and an engineer, they would have made a heat pump and be enjoying mild temperatures. When you have a device that can both heat and cool the inside of a building,…

Safety Third
A person I like to call my friend, Miggy, recently put his life at risk in a situation where it is not obvious what the risks are. His article, Proper Tooling Makes Things Easier, shows how easy it is to do things that look safe, but are not. His problem was that he needed to…

Don’t Steal Their Failures
I was in 2nd grade when I decided I was going to make a table and chairs. I had watched my grandfather make things. It couldn’t be that hard. With my mother and grandparents providing the material, I made a table and chair. It was a success. Was it sturdy enough for an adult to…
