Journal Entry
It was a nice day here in Rochester, Minnesota with sunny skies, temperature below 80 degrees, no wind, and no mosquitos. To prove it, I walked 8.40 miles, since it is not much fun to be cooped up in buildings. And, I do not understand, this is the land of 10,000 lakes and a million…

For this evening, I watched the evening coming in high on the south bluff of the Wisconsin River, with the city of Prairie du Chien just off the left and the Mississippi River on my left. If you have not guessed where I am at, you guessed it: I am in the Wyalusing State Park.…

Dementia – Time is Irrelevant
Even before we started Kindergarten, it seems like we have been exposed living an environment were time is part of our lives. But then the bell rings for the first day of Kindergarten, and our whole life is based around time. However, for people suffering from dementia, time does not mean anything any more. Although…

Petroleum Prices
It is totally incomprehensible that a US presidential candidate would make a campaign promise to lower the emissions of carbohydrates at the expense of the economy. If anyone would have told me this, I would have stated that they were lying. What responsible human being would ever take actions against the US economy? It does…

Dementia – Fear
I find that mom fears everything and it is the reason that she is so strong. And, it seems like fear dominates their lives and it make their life very sad. It is like the fight or flee response that is built into us. And, from my point of view, I will add freeze to…
