Creating a Free Ancestry Account
Ancestry.com has a wealth of features and connections with global databases. It is undoubtedly the premier genealogy in the world. But all this data comes at a cost. There are various levels of subscriptions that unlock new features, and each can come at an additional cost. But what do you need if you are simply […]
EV Safety
Have you ever noticed how small airplane crashes always hit the top headlines? Even though it is a well known fact that air travel is actually safer than driving. And in fact, the reason is probably because there are so few. But there is a “splash” factor that always gets the attention of the news, […]
Surfing in Munich
Speaking of history, I came across this web page I created in 2004. It must have been one of the very first I ever made. There was no WordPress back then, and I was a purist, so I wanted to learn HTML from scratch. We’ve come a long way, but the subject was quite interesting! […]
Campbell Family Connection
This post is mostly for my family, exploring our Campbell Family roots. My grandmother, Alma, Campbell Price, was our family connection to the Campbell Clan. So far, we can only go up to my 3rd great grandfather, John N. Campbell. Some folks on Ancestry have traced the family all the way back to Argyle. No […]
Setting the Record Straight
I don’t normally do political posts, but there are times when the rhetoric becomes so outrageous that it cannot go unchallenged.

I Spent More Time Charging It Than I Did Sleeping. Rachel stated that she “figured driving the brand-new Kia EV6 I’d rented […]
Once a Crusader
A good friend who lived through an experience I can never truly understand wrote this poignant story. I hope you enjoy it… The year is 1955: His story begins on a Saturday afternoon in the old Princess Theater in Paris, Tennessee. On the screen is a war movie about the defeat of the French in […]

Did you ever wonder if there was an easy way to create a drop shadow around an image so that it stood out? Well, yes, there is, and in WordPress it is very easy. Most themes provide the ability to add additional CSS. To check, go to to the dashboard and select Appearance > Customize: […]
Max Brown
I lost my Brown family cousin recently, who was like a big brother to me. We have been close as long as I can remember, and we spoke often. I will miss him. If you knew Max or would like to know about him, you can read his obituary here…
Sir David Amess
An Alarming Lack of Civility Hatred and intolerance have struck again with yesterday’s murder of conservative British Member of Parliament, Sir David Amess, who was fatally stabbed as he addressed his constituents in a local Methodist church. Although authorities believe the attack may be tied to Islamist extremism, many of Sir David’s colleagues warned of […]
