Sleepy Old Bear Diaries

From the research I’ve done, cholesterol is not the problem – as Dr. Mary Enig, well respected fats researcher who wrote the book “know your fats” says, “blaming cholesterol for heart disease is like blaming firefighters for starting fires.” Cholesterol arrives at the scene to repair damage to arteries caused by free radicals, high blood [...]

Tacoma Truck rack from Work Trucks USA.

Posted by: sleepyoldbear on: 30 April 2008

As you all know, last week I purchased the basic model of the Toyota Tacoma compact truck (4 x 2, 4 cyl., 5 speed). One of its tasks will be to carry me and my canoe.
Today I ordered one of these. Add on $105 US for shipping.
I’ll let you know about it. I think it [...]

Ben Stein’s “Expelled”

Posted by: sleepyoldbear on: 30 April 2008

This movie about evolution and intelligent design has been released in America, but I think it won’t be here until June (if then, I suppose). I want to see it, but I suspect that I am going to be less than bowled over by it.

This just in from that union of which I am still a member.

Posted by: sleepyoldbear on: 30 April 2008

This sounds serious. To wit:
This is to inform you that yesterday, the President John Harker sent the letter invoking clause 37.5 of the contract, the financial exigency clause. Over the next 10 days (from receipt of the letter), the Board and CBUFA executive will each choose two members to sit on a committee to [...]

Stillman loves unions.

Posted by: sleepyoldbear on: 30 April 2008

With the insistence of unions to engage in widespread socialist activism how can laws requiring membership continue to be justified. Why should a good and moral person be forced to fund a pro-abortion, pro-dictatorship, pro-terrorist agenda? When will they be deemed to have gone too far?
It is time to return the right of property (money) [...]
