Blurbs are just advertising. They are typically from more famous authors or celebrities. Sometimes they are just from other authors who are friends. You agree to write a blurb befo…

That's what I did some 23 years ago. Back then the pay discrepancy wasn’t as large as today. I started looking for positions in Canada in the last five years and have concluded tha…

I use a small sea anchor (drift sock) when my sailboat is at anchor. The current on the sock keeps her from sailing the wing keel onto the anchor rode.

I remember exploring these tunnels. It was surprising how far you could go. Pretty much anywhere on campus.

Are you aware that some people with Down Syndrome go to college? The effects of the genetic defect vary widely amongst the population of affected. If we take your argument of suffe…

I don’t see motion, but I can feel/experience motion. I don’t see images at all. The motion aspect is interesting and I can use it to experience outdoor activities or sports on dem…

We moved to the US from Canada 20 years ago. Fortunately we found a bank that would look at our Canadian credit history and were able to buy a house. Not all credit checks were as …

I do. I have another son who does not have Down Syndrome. Your question is difficult to answer. His condition is a part of who he is. If he didn't have Down Syndrome he would be a …

As the parent of a child with Down Syndrome who is also autistic, I can say it is wonderful experience. He brings us great joy and love, despite his unique needs. I couldn't imagin…

In heavy weather a sailboat sails under bare poles. However, it might actually be a stabiling force in rough seas. My sailboat is far more stable with the sails up. Side to side ro…

Or maybe one block per house. Solar raises it though the day, generates electricity at night as it lowers. No grid required.

Yes, that is my experience exactly. No mental images at all. I've tried to learn, but nothing has worked. Yet I can drive somewhere once on vacation, and a decade later drive the r…

Agreed. I believe a reasonably qualified engineer would produce similar solutions to those same problems. With this patent system, you have to search the patent databases before yo…
