DC’s Observations: Random Thoughts and Philosophical Musings
Pretty Pickup Trucks
There are pickup trucks that are for work: hauling, going to the dump… you know – truck stuff. and there are others that are not. Some people wouldn’t think of hauling anything dirty in theirs. If you’re at sporting event with a disposable mask on...
Word Of The Year 2021
Word of the year… until recently, I didn’t even know it was an annual thing. The word for 2021 is actually an acronym, NFT (non-fungible token). I remember when a 32GB SD/Micro SD Card was top of the line. Now, they’re practically unusable. High resolution...
Cheese Pizza With Extra Meatballs
A cheese pizza with extra meatballs… is not a cheese pizza. It’s a meatball pizza. The napkins in the utensil packets always smell like pepper. And, I’m quite sure that most people don’t use the salt and pepper in the pack. I saw somebody with...
John Coltrane’s Music is Haunting
I’m a big fan of John Coltrane’s music. Love Supreme is one of my favorite albums. In fact the last seven minutes of the song Part IV – Psalm is the most powerful piece of music I’ve ever heard. John Coltrane’s music is often described...

Hibachi Onion Volcanoes
I’ve been to several hibachi restaurants, in different cites and states. They are all pretty much the same. There is no difference in the taste of the food. It’s good – but not great. And, everyone has another thing in common, onion volcanoes. Smart marketing:...
Big Island Hawaii Observations
My family did a Hawaiian island hopping vacation in 2016, which we visited Maui, The Big Island Hawaii, and Oahu. We spent about a day and a half at each – kind of a “sampler vacay”. In 2019, we returned to Maui for 9 days...
Morning Glory Is Not Glorious
There’s nothing glorious about the morning glory plant. The flowers are pretty and you only see them in the morning. But it’s a very invasive plant, and the vines wrap around other plants. “In da Club” by 50 Cent seems to be a popular song...
Birkenstocks Are Not Running Shoes
My Birkenstocks are one of my favorite pairs of shoes. They are extremely comfortable, but they are mostly good for walking. I don’t jog as a hobby or exercise, but every now and then I have to do a light jog while wearing them. It’s...
