   When the button just below the left Shift key on my keyboard went missing, I felt like I had lost control.

   You must be new here.

   She is the (stereo)typical cat lover who baby-talks to her sweet little baby kitty cat… er, I mean “her sweet widdle baby keykat”. The running joke “du Jour” with her is that she is such a devoted “keykat lady” that she maintains this speech pattern throughout her everyday life as well.

   Property? Yes. Intellectual? Uh….

   I recently discovered a wristwatch that I wore back in the late 1970’s, sitting in a box of long-forgotten memorabilia: a red LED digital watch, the trendy tech item of the day. Press a small button on the side of the watch once, it displayed the time. Press it again for month and date. Display only stayed illuminated for about 5 seconds before going into power save mode. Despite this, it had poor battery life, needing new watch batteries every 2 or 3 weeks… so I’m still not sure why, pulling it out of this box after decades of storage, I pressed the button as if I expected it to work.

   And in the 3rd panel, the palmetto bug is drawn to scale. Welcome to Florida.

   I find conversations like these to be very interesting.

   Our world is filled with people of faith. And not all faith involves organized religion. There is faith in scientific theorems that have not been proven beyond doubt. There is faith in the writings and theories of various men and women of science or society, politics or philosophy, even though empirical proof may not exist for their ruminations. Faith is rampant. Every person reading my words likely has ‘faith’ in something that has not been proven.

   Yet when I read message boards like this, the most full-throated (full-keyboarded?) opposition to faith is (this next word is key) SPECIFICALLY focused on just one area of faith – the Christian faith – ignoring, and in doing so, passively ‘excusing’ all other areas of faith.

   Which, in a roundabout way, actually provides some validation for Christian faith, as Christian scripture states that the devil, Satan, works tirelessly to destroy SPECIFICALLY (there’s that word again) this faith, working through the actions of mankind (us) to do so. Isn’t it interesting and perhaps ironic that those who put such intense and repeated effort into claiming there is no God/no divine Jesus/etc may be helping to validate the exact opposite?

   Always wondered why I can’t reach certain websites every once in a while. It’s those Neanderthal genes in the DNS.

   (Sorry, techie humor.)

   A priest, a hippie and a rabbit walk into a bar. The bartender says: “I hate autocorrect!”

    > “Good journalism is not presenting all sides of a subject. Good journalism is presenting the TRUTH.”

    Are you saying that you are willing to abdicate your own wisdom in being able to look at all sides of the story and determine fact from fiction on your own, and you wish to rely solely on the journalist to make those decisions and spoon-feed them to you?

    That’s not a type of journalism I’d want to depend on. That’s the type of journalism that says Benghazi was a reaction to an internet video (it wasn’t). That’s the type of journalism that says the Hunter Biden laptop was a fake planted by the Russians as a disinformation tactic (it wasn’t). I’m glad that we have a few brave journalistic sources willing to go against the “TRUTH” that echoes hollow among all the others.
