EARTH BURDEN GROWS WITH POPULATION

August 8, 2023 by David Gillaspie

If the earth burden grows with population, will it shrink with a population decrease? Not when we hear about ‘forever chemicals.’ How does anyone rebound from a ‘forever’ problem? By the way, ‘forever’ is spelled PFAS.

ONE PLANET AND EARTH IS IT

August 7, 2023 by David Gillaspie

One planet is not enough? It is if you’re forced to walk to your next destination. And where might that be? When you’re on foot and a long way out, where you’re headed isn’t as important as keeping your momentum. You knew where you were going when you started.

August 5, 2023 by David Gillaspie

The hot writer is who I pay attention to. I may not read their work, but I notice their books. Colleen Hoover was hard to miss in the airport bookstore. How hard?

FART AROUND LIKE KURT VONNEGUT, IT’S GOOD FOR YOU

August 4, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Fart around like you mean it: Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he’s going out to buy an envelope: “Oh, she says, well, you’re not a poor man. “You know, why don’t you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?“ And so I pretend not to hear her.

YOUR LAND, MY LAND, OUR LAND

August 3, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Your land is more than the surface under your feet. Go ahead and put ‘No Trespassing’ signs everywhere on a plot of dirt, but it’s still not enough. Why? Because it’s not your land, or my land, but our land. Here’s how I figured it out:

ANNOYING WORDS. ONLY WORDS?

August 2, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Annoying words can be found everywhere. In any book, on any TV show, and coming out of the mouths of people I like. Go ahead and sweep your life clear of people who don’t respect your point of view, your ‘beliefs’, or the car you drive, and you’ll still be stuck with annoying words. In […]

NOT RIGHT? HOW TO GET RIGHT SOONER THAN LATER WITH THE RIGHT FOOD

July 31, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Feelings of being not right could be from something you ate? What’s the last thing you found on your plate or in your bowl? It’s probably not food poisoning, but it could be something. For example:

EXTREME FITNESS IN EXTREME WEATHER

July 30, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Extreme fitness begins early. And it’s not difficult. Just get up early. Except in extreme weather, like the prolonged heat wave Arizona lives and works in, you can’t get up early enough. Open a morning door is like standing behind a car exhaust pipe.
