I have been posting about what I call the rules of life. Actually, they aren’t rules, because rules can be broken. No, these are immutable facts. You may ignore them, just as you probably ignore many other things; but that does not change them or the way that they affect you. The facts of life […]

I read quite a bit since my heart attack; and, sometimes, I pick up things that make a lot of sense. “If it harms none, do it. Protect the weak from the strong.” is one such thing. Think about it…

I have found that there some rules involved in living. If you follow them, you will find your life changing for the better; and you will prosper (sometimes, in spite of yourself).

Have you stopped for a moment to appreciate the brave men and women who gave up their lives, limbs, and, sometimes, their future health and welfare so that you don’t speak Japanese or German, today?
Many thousands died during WW II, even more lost limbs or were otherwise crippled. There were those who came home with […]

The price of milk is reaching all-time highs. Why?
Farmers and the media like to blame it on the use of corn for ethanol production, the cost of fuel, and price supports on feed. I blame it on several factors:

I’ve heard it many times: “Procrastination is the thief of all time.”. I believe that it should be “the worst thief of all time.”, because the original quote implies that time is what is stolen.

Welcome to Bob’s Philosophy! I’m very old and not that long for this world; and I hope to pass on a bit of what life has taught me before I go…
