Manufacturing
I don’t know if most readers have puzzled out the manufacturing needs of NewEarth and how some goods are made on planet with local resources and others are brought in from off planet, but as the writer, these are difficulties and balances that keep me up at night. Or wake me in the middle of…

Justice is Not New
The concept of blind justice, applying to everyone equitably, is as old as the idea of democracy where people vote to bestow power and advance ideas and philosophy. MLK was a philosopher and a realist who knew that while the world was not perfect, it could be driven to be better. He was a driving…

Winter
With Christmas put away and real winter looking us over with a hungry glare, my car decided to have a few hiccups. Took it in for repairs and over $500 dollars later it is still running rough and hesitating and dying at times. I bought some seafoam additive and put it in the gas tank.…

Inspiration

Gatherings
I don’t know about you, but my family tends to gather for all the best and worst occasions. We get together for birthdays, graduations, weddings, holidays, celebrations of family, personal accomplishments, funerals, illnesses, to help one another out, and just because. Much like my dragons, we gather for any good reason because there is comfort…
