So I’m standing in line at the Pearly Gates (Yes me!), and the guy behind me asks, ‘How did you die?’  I was killed by a ball of wool, my friend.  I’ll explain what occurred as best I can, my fellow traveler.  Once upon a time while vacationing in Nova Scotia, we ventured into a wool dispensary.  Why?  Because it was there.  My wife decides that we simply must have not one, not two, not even three, but four magical wool balls.  If you...

I don’t think anyone really is. There have been a lot of news stories lately about the NSA listening into everything we do.  It was, at one time, the FBI that we were concerned about.  There is that one TV show called “Person of Interest” which is all about the “Machine” watching our every movement, and reporting on us to the government.  However, I don’t know if I believe that or not.  I am just wondering how many “earmarked”...
