We're back! Taking a leap of faith

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

Bob Dylan - Things have Changed


It's been a while.   I never wanted to let this blog go for as long as I have but things happened.  First off for whatever reason we lost our Facebook accounts - both for this blog and my personal account.   I still don't have access to it and by now, I've reached the conclusion that I never will.   

Most, if not all of my readership came from Facebook.   

Then we had some changes in the job, some health problems.  Some things that made 2024 a mess, and before I knew it is the middle of November and I'm looking at a blank page and asking myself "What can I write about?"

So, just to fill everyone in, I'm slowly but surely poking my head out and again.   I'm working in insurance again and even created my own website to help - ReppartWilson.com - which will be my business site, I'm even debating about doing a few YouTube videos to give my personal opinion about the products that you should look for.   

I've also had a small barely used Instagram account which may start to get more use, both as an advertising tool and social media site.  I even have a Tic Tok account but again that more to look at news and video's than to actually be used for anything else.

In the coming months, I'm going to have a lot to learn, but you know what.   I'm doing this.

I am taking a leap of faith and going into something I love.  Helping people.   

What?  You did think I was going to say insurance sales, did you?   

But all jokes aside, this is what I do.  You can't hide in the bushes forever.

What all the cool kids are reading.

On Marches, Strikes and being a keyboard warrior.

 This is not the America I grew up in.    It occurs to me that those days are long gone, and that I am probably looking back on those days with rose colored glasses as well.   However there was a time in America when, if two parties disagreed, they could hammer out some sort of compromise.   Where opposing viewpoints were respected.   Where, if a heated argument did break out the chance of violence was very low. I miss that America.    Recently I was threatened with physical violence for something that I posted online.   I ignored the comment, I didn't bother to respond to it.  Not because I feared the person - I've no idea who they were, etc. - but because I am a pacifist.  To respond to violence with more violence makes little sense to me.  Plus, it's been my experience that such people are paper tigers.   The anger that is felt however, by both the right and the left is very real.  I can no...

Maybe it's time I got serious about solar

  When my wife and I bought this house nearly 6 years ago, we made some upgrades.   We put on a metal roof, replacing the original shingles, replaced the floor in the kitchen, both bathrooms and the downstairs den.  We ended up upgrading the pellet stove (twice!) and added some insulation; one of the jobs I want to do in the coming year is to insulate the garage, mostly to keep the freezers we have in the garage from becoming damaged. It's only in various home improvement shows that the work to improve your home is done all at once and somehow in 1 hour.  For most of us its an ongoing never ending project. One of the important improvements that I've been wanting to make but have kept putting off for various reasons has been solar panels.  Now, I'm thinking that it may be time to least do something. The main reason we have been putting off this improvement was cost and how long it would actually take us to pay off the panels.   I'm 60 years old now...

Honoring the past - Thinking more about "invasive" plant species.

 Recently I've been giving some thought to invasive species.  I had received both positive and negative feedback on the blog post concerning kudzu and recently I came across a very well hidden, and very small, wild cherry tree while doing some yard work.  Since it's against the house it would have to be removed since the root systems could damage my foundation.   A buddy of mine at work was asking if I was going to transfer it, his logic being that it was a fruiting tree that would not only attract a variety of pollinator's but that the deer would eat the bark and cherries, keeping them away from the garden (which Sue and I swore we were not going to do this year).  It occurred to me that I was going to have to do a slightly better job of identification, since black cherries are native to America , where as other types of cherries are not.  Being able to make a precise identification would be helpful.   I used to be able to identify all these tre...
