I am on my second cup of coffee and chilling to some Sunday sacred music. The program is called "A Joyful Noise" and it's on KDFC, the only remaining classical radio station in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's a public radio...

koopharper My Sundays start out slow. My wife takes my daughter to her violin lessons and I kind of bum around planning on working in my shop but usually not getting much done on that count. Lately, I have been able to get pictures taken and my latest wood project posted...

I just stumbled upon this one as I was trolling YouTube. One time four dudes got out of a car as I was returning from a smoke break and said, "Hey, we got us a white one!" , but I was already near the entrance...

koopharper I made some major navigational error on a bicycle trip and ended up riding right through Oakland, CA back in the eighties. Quite eye-opening for a white Canadian boy. Only one person spoke to me as I went through. Some little kid leaned out of a pickup truck...

JEEEZZZ!!! The supermarket, for the first time, decided to send the groceries late this evening.
There was nothing I could do. But I had already had 2 eggs at breakfast so an omelette was not a choice.
I am very...

The book I am working on (with @Just4Him as project manager ) is about working with (sometimes) difficult kids from (often) difficult environments.
My work in Oakland CA led me to be on San Pablo Avenue, taking a...

koopharper Only interacted with a prostitute once and part of that still bothers me to this day. She seemed sweet vulnerable and attractive. That's not what bothered me. What bothered me is that I remembered meeting her or her doppler ganger months previously at a church...

I just watched a YouTube entitled "Illegal to Sleep". It really was an eye-opener. This one lady had lost her son and was now homeless. She has gotten 30 situations in a year and a half. Each one is hundreds of dollars. Someone...

Good morning, friends.
I want to be thrifty in some ways this month as I have overspent in other ways. So I decided the I would not turn on the heater until next month.
But as soon as I decided that, the cold...

I was awakened again last night by a dining creature that did not sound like Kitty. I chased the raccoon off. It returned, and I chased it off again.
The night before, when I chased the raccoon off, I saw Kitty watching the whole...

koopharper Raccoons are very territorial and they will often kill cats in their territory. They generally don't get along with cats. We did have one living under the camp along with the cat but that truce had a lot to do with the raccoon not being in the best of shape....

This is what eclipse enthusiasts are known as and --"shadow lovers" in Latin. I can't believe how into it some people are. They've booked hotel rooms months in advance, some even years, and are making quite a deal out of this...

koopharper I remember viewing a partial eclipse when I was very young through a bundle of photo negatives. This one will be a lot closer to a full eclipse for me. I'll be at work and Moncton where I work will reach 99%. Home here will likely be greater than 95%. For me,...

Happy Friday everyone!
This was the weirdest start to my morning. Who would have anticipated an earthquake here in Pennsylvania.
Apparently a 4.8 magnitude earthquake startled many of us here on the east coast.
At first I...

If you look carefully you can see a huge opossum in the dark of my porch from head to tail. He is making a pig of himself eating leftover French fries. Since my porch is on the second floor my friends also place food for him up...

koopharper When I was in college one of the guys had never seen an opossum before. He comes running into the dormitory. "Guys guys! I just saw the biggest rat I ever saw in my life". We of course went running out to have a look and it was some dopy opossum out there in...
