While this blog is not about politics necessarily (we try to stay out of that as best we can) occasionally we just can’t resist weighing in on some of the hot-button issues of the day. Today, so-called “climate change” is one of them. Because of the esoteric ideas surrounding this subject, much of the language used in political circles is… Read More
At this point you’ve probably been exposed to the circulating speculation regarding food shortages. This is concerning, especially given it could come on something of a global scale.

First and foremost, the driver of a… Read More
