I don’t even know where to start with this one. It really is one of the more spectacular displays of science ignorance that I’ve ever seen.

The Evolved Homeschooler Obama Resource Center

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Jun 5th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Politics

Now that we are into the political silly season, Evolved Homeschoolers can expect to be bombarded with emails and web sites making all kind of patently false claims about Obama. Whether you intend to vote for him or not, rational people have an interest in a fair and honest debate about who should lead […]



Skipping college to become a farrier

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Jun 5th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Given the ongoing conversation here and elsewhere about the value of the college degree, I found this article from the local paper quite interesting. It’s a profile of a local kid that just graduated with fine grades, yet is skipping college to become a farrier. An established farrier makes six figures around here, although it […]

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Jun 2nd, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I went for my first run in a very long time tonight. I’m going to follow the couch to 5K plan. Since I just started, and I’m an out of shape lazy ass, I was doing 60 second jog / 90 second walk tonight on the pedestrian trail that runs behind our neighborhood. I […]



Fun with health insurance companies, part whatever

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Jun 2nd, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Michelle went to a new endocrinologist today. There are a couple of new endos in town, so she thought this was an opportune time to stop driving 90 minutes each way to the doctor.
