The Day The Dinosaurs Died

poor georgie’s science almanack:  

The Day The Dinosaurs Died

What will emerge after the next round of mass extinctions, when the world as we know it dies?  

Curiously, after the dinosaurs disappeared, a niche was available for small mammals to thrive and become us.

solutions

poor georgie’s almanack



    In my 20s, it was clear that the solution to my ills, and those of the world, was a vodka martini.

     In my 30s, the cure to any problem, one way or another, revolved around a roll of duct tape.

     In my 40s, I learned the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything was 42.

     In my 50s, things were looking up and satellites quickly replaced plastics as the obvious remedy.

     In my 60s, fat free frozen yogurt.

     In my 70s, naps.

     Now, unbelievably, the new solution is something very old ... WD-40.

     Pretty slick, eh?

They get what they pay for.

 poor georgie’s almanack: 


American health-care, infrastructure, education, personal safety, etc., now has fallen below almost every modernized nation where citizens and businesses pay more taxes. 

Guess what? 

They are provided much better public services.

Question #1

poor georgie’s almanack:

#1 in a series:

Going to a candidate event?  

Here’s a question to ask.  

“If you only have a fixed amount of money for  helping people with food, medicine, etc., how will you decide who will be helped and who will die?”

Who Knew?

It wasn’t until long after retiring from the world of consulting that I realized there were guide books for client relations.

Omen?

poor georgie’s almanack

This is true and frustrating.  

Age-related issues have put me in touch with several new “OLOGISTS.”  

I feel good, but every time I type that word in lower case my Spell Check changes it to “eulogists.”

When Mother Nature's Water Bursts

poor georgie’s almanack:

It again is flood season along the Mighty Mississippi River.  

After millions of years, The Father of All Rivers continues to be overwhelmed and in awe every time Mother Nature’s water bursts.
