Religious discussion: Why there are so many denominations
People seem to turn to what comforts them. More importantly, what best fits their "inner" self. So, in the West, people turn to what they find find attractive, in the many sense of the word.- warren

Good Photos
It takes time to learn to see as your camera "sees." Lots of time and many, many "bad" shots. If you only "work" with one camera and lens the process is a bit shorter, sometimes. To get comfortable with digital when switching from film, I wasted too much time in "post." I had train my brain...- warren

McClelland may be closing.
Great observation! Obsessive/compulsives are drawn to a variety of "hobbies" (read: obsessions). The do tend to go overboard when getting into something new. It's their nature. And, they did so before the advent of "social media."- warren

McClelland may be closing.
A lot of unnecessary angst and hand wringing over something we have absolutely no control over. "Adapt or die." Smoking is a choice some have opted to define their lives around. Tobacco use is a luxury not a necessity. If it has become such ... my sympathies. We opted into our wee vice at a...- warren

Traffic circles take a bit of getting used to. Up here it took some learning but, I think the majority of drivers appreciate the not having to wait for signals to change. The only problem we experienced was our traffic engineering division had to learn what worked with regard to circumference...- warren

Gotta Start On New Year's Resolution.
To live in the moment and take life as it comes. In other words, imitate the dawg. Oh, and to try not to embarrass myself too often.- warren

Picking on Brits a Bit
In many counties non-residents are taken into custody post bail/fine with the presiding court officer (Justice of the Peace usually). Those fines are sometimes a fair portion of the county budget. A fellow student at the National Academy, a county officer from Georgia, related that the justice...- warren

That Wonderful First Couple Hours in the Morning.
No alone time in my life, what with a loyal dog and parrot who needs some attention throughout the day. the dog forces me to exercise my diseased heart. And, he's a phenomenal listener.- warren

Picking on Brits a Bit
In the US a significant number of parents let the electronics of the day do the baby sitting and child rearing. I know of some parents who do not have a plan or, even a serious concern regarding their children. The obverse of that are the many parents who do exact control of the children, are...- warren

Exercising control over the kids is a large part of parenting. I wish more parents would "control" their children, provide direction and a moral foundation.- warren

Picking on Brits a Bit
It is most certainly not "wasted" moneys. First, those dollars are pushed out into the local economy, to the benefit of many. Secondly, I'd bet most of those newly weds did not wed while entertaining the idea of divorce in the future. Now, the "social costs" of divorce are certainly...- warren

Picking on Brits a Bit
$33,000.00 for a wedding doesn't seem unreasonable and is certainly as great thing for the caterer, dress makers, tux renters and so forth. People spending moneys, even recklessly, is good for the rest of us. Keeping track of the moneys others spend, excepting government of course, seems like...- warren

Cob>Briar
You'll have to figure that out for yourself. You made a personal choice, none of my business. I smoke with both and do not make class distinctions as you seem to want to do. Morning coffee finished. Finally awake and necessary corrections made. Hopefully making a wee bit of sense now...- warren

Picking on Brits a Bit
The land varies. Some is atop clay which turns to "jelly" in a quake. A good deal is on "bedrock", stable, solid. I live on the side of a mountain, solid rock. But, when the tectonic plates shift, nothing may be stable. One can't live one's life in fear of a hurricane, tornado or...- warren
