But he remains good-natured about it, says he’s used to it. We have a nice…

      16. A Day of Miscalculations Monday Sept. 26, 2005. On the final Monday of the trip, I ride with Keli as she drives Karis to catch her bus, then Dave cooks me one final toad-in-the-hole and I am on my way. I am trying to catch the train, you see: That’s what I have…

      18. Columbia Gorge Tuesday Sept. 27, 2005. As it happened, it is a day when I do everything right. The day before, I had driven past all the river attractions to get to Mount Hood. Awakening at Timberline Lodge, I am tempted to keep going west toward Portland. But I still want to see…

      20. Jefferson and slavery Wednesday Sept. 28, 2005. Chalk it up to Powell’s in the Portland Airport, which was a great breath of fresh air: When have you ever seen an airport bookstore selling things much different than the usual run of interchangeable thrillers and topical best-sellers? When have you ever seen one selling…

  • The South’s pro-war history, and our times

SOUTH’S PRO-WAR HISTORY MAJOR FACTOR IN IRAQ WAR By Sherwood Ross The South is far more inclined to war than…

  • Remote Viewing. A first-hand experience (1)

    Last year I participated in a six-day Remote Viewing program at The Monroe Institute. I wrote it up at the time for the blog I had just started. I will reprint the series of posts here, with this as the first installment. An examination in four parts The best way that I can think of…

  • Remote Viewing. A first-hand experience (2)

    My notes and sketches I see that the scanned pages didn’t display. I will try to fix that and post them separately, as these notes won’t mean much if you can’t see the sketches. But I’ll leave this as it is and if I can get the pages uploaded correctly you will be able to…

  • Please do not adjust your TV set

    Remember the old announcement, “we are experiencing technical difficulties”? I don’t mean to keep you hanging but I am having trouble posting my Remote Viewing sketches, and then the four target photos.
