Other than a weekend playing “Keep Up with the Power Equipment” (which we will get to in a moment) I spent a couple of hours Sunday morning working on “The Luck Problem.” Remember last week’s column? “Math in the Afterlife“? That symbol (or sigil) I brought out of the dream realms has been bothering me. … Read More

Oh, sure it is. I can, in fact, come up with probably a half dozen (or more) survival situations where knowing how to drop a tree perfectly and precisely where you want it is nothing short of high art. Need an emergency shelter with little effort? Fall a tree, limb slightly, tarp it and live … Read More

A lot of people live two lives: One in the waking state, the other on the dream side of sleep. This is one of the most interesting tales I have ever “brought over” from the “other side.” Don’t ask me exactly where the “other side” is; I couldn’t tell you. But it’s a place I … Read More
