Cell-Phonery-Peeping-Tommery

Is it a bad thing to admit to eaves dropping? Is it eavesdropping at all when there can be no expectation of privacy? Is my act of observation as much a crime as using a cell phone to capture images? Where is the line? How do we know we have crossed it?

Rabbit Ears, Tin Foil and Boiling Water

Television has changed during my lifetime. I remember when a tv was furniture. We had to cross the room to change the volume and the channel. If we did change the channel, we had to adjust the fine tuning and sometimes go outside to give the antenna a turn.

What is the Point? Colonoscopies, Pat Downs, Child Neglect and A Savage Wisdom

Many of you know I am a homeschooling mom. I am learning as much as my student. At this stage in my face spackled life, I never imagined contemplating the mathematical properties of a ‘point.’ A point has no dimension. It has no up, no down, no width, no depth, no in front and no behind. It simply, is. So, when I look back over this blog post and consider the point, I have no excuses to make.

Face Spackle, Make-up Primer and Technical Intervention

So, it is back to the stupid thing that caused this problem to begin with. Broad daylight and my rearview mirror. I think I will avoid both. Did you know, I am 25 years old? Frozen in time but not experience, until, of course, I pass a mirror.
