We're pretty sure that the stable genius isn't going to any thing about it, other than bark "drill baby drill." So it only makes sense that mother Europe will pick up the toys that you know who threw out of the pram. Just in case you haven't been paying attention, Solar energy is…

Hello again. We are still in the midst of the Evan's Bears fundraiser. Hello all, we’re back again with the Evan’s Bears charity drive for 2025. We come to you hoping all is well. We’re embarking on another round of fundraising for Evan’s Bears. We will also continue in our series of posts for…
You know, Japan and the Japanese are a truly unique people. Kindness and politeness are guiding stars for the country. They possess a number of deeply ingrained characteristics that are often described as endearing and admirable.

Tick tock, Tick tock, sounds the clock. The planet is not cooling down. Quite the opposite. The current world population is 8,232,458,392 as of Monday, June 30, 2025 according to the most recent United Nations estimates. Most of us know about this existential threat.

We are no pundits, nor experts in this field and we don't really like to write these kinds of posts, to be honest. But the world is in an almost existential mess right now, one that we can't recall ever seeing as being this potentially catastrophic. Loud, clueless "leaders" are stomping around in their…
I don’t think anyone would look at Colombia today and say that it is failing. This positive outcome is an example of the effective application of smart power – it is succeeding.
Here we go again, literally and figuratively. We've written yet another post about rail, and we're not ashamed. We've traveled over much of the planet, and the planet is crying out to us that rail is the way to go. Comfortable. Predicable, cost effective, relaxing, expansive, economical and an epiphany if you…
