That's an Interstellar idea

If you ever met me in person you would note that I am a quite guy.  I don't talk much but when I do it is usually with purpose.  But if you could hear my thoughts you would also note I never shut up.  I am always talking in my head and thinking of things.

Today I got to thinking about the movie Interstellar.  Beside the last 15 minutes it was a really good movie.  But lets talk about that planet they went to, the one that some how safely orbits a black hole just outside the event horizon.

Besides that, once an hour, wave what was wrong with that planet that we couldn't habitat there.  Even that wave, we can build a fix for that I am pretty sure.

1. They landed on something and were walking around on something.  That water was only knee deep.  You can totally shore up some dry land by digging down in some other areas.

2. We know how to disapate wave energy, we already do it.  A water wave on that scale isn't something we have ever dealt with but the theory would be the same.

A little engineering know-how and some big machinery and the problem would be solved.  But that is how I think, this was a problem and what might be done to fix it.

American Pride, The Memoir of a Future President, Part 2 Go Planet!

 It's no surprise that I came to the book "50 Things Kids Can Do To Save The World".  The world decided for me that I was going to be an environmentalist.  Some of my first and most indelible memories are images of oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico.  The dead birds, fish, ect... covered in oil all from ONE  accident.   Like many young Michiganders I grew up spending many a hot summer day on the beaches of Lake Michigan.  Too see an area similar to one of my happy places turned to ruin in days... leaves a mark on your brain similar to the first time your family pet dies.  I love this and something terrible has happened to it. You have to treasure the good things in your life while you have them, and that includes the natural beauty around you.  That was something I learned early. It is also true that kids latch on to things and don't let them go.  I got in to recycling, big time.  The local community waste transfer center started...

Ideas primary

There is only 18 months to the next US presidential election so naturally the campaigning is already in full swing.  😒 The Democrats are doing something right now called an Ideas Primary, which I kind of love the idea of.  One of the things that America as a whole needs is a an open stage to throw out ideas and have a robust conversation about the direction of the country. The trouble is that a lot of the new progressives that have been elected back in the midterm election last November are being treated as fringe candidates with fringe ideas and those ideas are not getting talked about in this ideas primary.  If it wasn't for Bernie Sanders we probably wouldn't even be talking about Medicare For All, and it is troubling for me that there isn't much talk about a Green New Deal. I think what I would really like to see in an ideas primary is a town hall where organizers from the Black Lives Matter, The Parkland Students, Greta Thunberg or someone like her, someone th...

American League Division Series, Detroit vs Cleveland

 You know what's great about this series?  Two teams from two cities in an area the coastal folks call "the rust belt" but should be better known as the Great Lakes Watershed. Detroit has been through some really tough times in the last 30 years, you'll have that when all of your economic base leaves for cheaper labor markets. Cleveland has been through some really tough times in the last 30 years, you'll have that when your economic base pollutes the land and waterways so badly the river catches on fire regularly. These are major American cities, both of them degraded by decades of corporations chasing cheap labor,  lacks environmental protections, pre-1970s, that left a scarred landscape that 50 years of the clean water, clear air, RCRA, and Superfund sites has only recently started to show real improvement.  And lets not forget the trade deals that hollowed out Detroit and Cleveland for imports from China and Mexico. Detroit and Cleveland... I think you mean th...
