Favorites and Why This? Originally posted July 25, 2012, re-posted, now, as the tenth anniversary of the tragedy approaches.].

The disaster was precipitated by damage to the left wing sustained on launch from a piece of foam insulation falling from the external fuel tank and striking the leading edge of that wing.

Favorites and Why This? Texas Trash" - my gift to pass on to the world, but it comes with a story. A large roaster containing one completed batch of Texas Trash. This recipe has been around since before I was born and is a Giles family staple. It is NOT your typical "Chex Mix" recipe and I have never found anything like i t anywhere else. That is Gran, nearest the camera. She was the epitome of strong, kind, and smart Texas women. I do not think she invented this recipe, but she may have named it. I did ...

Favorites and Why This? I'm jaded, and I know it. I sometimes find myself not wanting to be around people. I like getting away to the woods, but being a city boy, that does not happen often. Fortunately, my workplace is set between two parks, one with a creek. We have lots of trees and lots of birds, and so for a few minutes a day, I walk over to one park, sit under a tree and enjoy the birds. I have two favorite kinds of common birds. Mockingbirds and Grackles. Eat up people's gardens,. I cannot remembe...

Evocation: Day 35
http://crewsgiles.blogspot.com/2014/12/day-35.html
Favorites and Why This? Seven weeks since my sixteen year old daughter died in a traffic accident. I haven't gone a day without crying. Friends and family are gently seeking to "socialize" me- get me out and around people. I have, kind of/sort of, gotten used to tearing up without warning. Sunglasses and/or an escape route into privacy are my best tools. Earlier in the week, I grabbed a tissue and muttered under my breath as I wiped my eyes, "A lot of Gabriella in the air today.". Here is how that went.

Favorites and Why This? An Open Letter to Fundamentalists - Duck Dynasty. I takes me a while to remember that Fundamentalists, whether Christian or Muslim, hold legalistic understanding devoid of spirituality, because legalism is all they crave for their cultures. There is no room for the mystical, or the transcendent in Fundamentalism. Fundamentalism is new to Christianity, and the result of a separation from the mystical, spiritual, and historical Church. The journey of such a soul, however, finds it v...

Favorites and Why This? Becoming a Man - According to Women and Boys. Manhood, as opposed to being a boy in the 'hood. I submit "urban youth" (the visual identity in the video):. Is a euphemism for teenage boys living in a matriarchal society- and if so, who is defining "being a man": for them? Their mothers, their female teachers, or other teenage boys?

Favorites and Why This? Hacked Friday night from Houston area. Just interesting that my Google account was compromised Friday night. As all of mine are, it's a tough password- not the kind you can guess. Using some sneaky tools of my own, it looks like, besides synching, every single post on this blog was accessed. A public blog, which no one reads, but which for a few hours, had access to the unpublished drafts- about a hundred. Looks like nothing changed- but I've not the time to verify.
