Normally I am on the road working disaster response and recovery at the location of the event, but not this time. Last Wednesday […]
Are We Overreacting to COVID-19?
Tuesday , 17, March 2020 Health Comments Off on Are We Overreacting to COVID-19?Interesting timing on this article (go read it, I’ll wait here) as just yesterday I had a friend of mine ask (via text) a lot of these same questions, which essentially boil down to, “Is this all just a huge overreaction?” It’s a fair question and, given some of the extreme provisions that have been […]
When I first heard about the Novel Coronavirus, I thought it was new book about a worldwide pandemic. Turns out, this is a “book” I don’t want to read. But we’re strapped into our chairs with our heads belted into position and our eyelids held open against our will as we’re forced to watch this […]
Flying The Friendly Skies of COVID-19
Thursday , 12, March 2020 Health, Travel Comments Off on Flying The Friendly Skies of COVID-19A week from tomorrow I fly from San Juan to Orlando, a flight I’ve taken many times in the past almost-two-years that I’ve been working here on The Enchanted Island.

Upon closer inspection, I found this rundown of how many teaspoons (teaspoons are easier than grams) of added sugar are in a drink that size, with […]

April was a busy month with a variety of good and bad events, which pretty well sums up life in general, doesn’t it? We ended March and began April with a trip to Daytona Beach for our 18th wedding anniversary. But we got a hint of what April might bring when we had to rush […]
Donating Your Organs Or Your Body To Science
Tuesday , 31, March 2015 Health, Science, Wolf's Haven 2 CommentsRecently I had to get a new driver’s license and the Department of Motor Vehicles asked if I would like to be an organ donor, a question I’ve been asked before in years past. My answer has always been, “Yes!” I have long been a person who does not care what happens to my body […]
