The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Enemies of Reason... Everyone Needs to Watch This!

Read, write, seek knowledge and wisdom, and search
for the truth. Let evidence and lack of evidence guide us along our path in our quest. Common sense, logic, reason, and an open and inquiring mind are needed.

We need to disregard and rid ourselves of magical thinking, myths, superstitions, and junk science. We need to ready ourselves to have some of our most fervently-held beliefs disproven and our most sacred cows slaughtered. Above all, we need to remember, believing something doesn’t make it true.

You should watch this video by Richard Dawkins.
