Dick's Pizza: July 2012
http://dicks-pizza.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
A collection of short stories on life, politics, military history, and more. Friday, July 27, 2012. You don’t see that many people hitch hiking these days. Certainly not like in the late ‘50s and ‘60s when I was doing it as a matter of necessity. Where we lived up in Whistler, BC you see quite a bit because we have many young people from all over the world who come to work in the resort. Many do not have cars and hitch back and forth to work. I know. So shoot me. I made two hitching expeditions to Rollin...

Dick's Pizza: June 2011
http://dicks-pizza.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
A collection of short stories on life, politics, military history, and more. Wednesday, June 8, 2011. Pictures of the Yankee. It's your blog "mistress" here! I found some pictures of the Yankee and thought I would share them here. In 1963, the Yankee ran aground in the Cook Islands, off the coast of Rarotonga.

A collection of short stories on life, politics, military history, and more. Tuesday, June 19, 2012. This is going to be a two-parter. The first part focuses on ObamaCare and some generalized discussion on the differences between the US…shall we say…“Commercial”, privately-funded healthcare model and the socialized or single payer (government) model. Part Two will discuss my own personal interaction with both systems earlier this year. Anyway, we’ll know soon when the Supremes weigh in. As a si...Canada ...

Dick's Pizza: Healthcare Follies, Part Two
http://dicks-pizza.blogspot.com/2012/06/healthcare-follies-part-two.html
A collection of short stories on life, politics, military history, and more. Friday, June 22, 2012. Healthcare Follies, Part Two. In this post I will chronicle my own personal journey through the Canadian and US healthcare systems with my recent heart surgery. Perhaps that will more clearly explain what you can expect if ObamaCare is not spiked by the Supreme Court with their decision next week. So, under the knife again only this time with big worries about infection. They left tubes in my chest to ...

http://dicks-pizza.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
A collection of short stories on life, politics, military history, and more. Tuesday, March 29, 2011.

The woods were perceptibly brighter now.

http://dicks-pizza.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
A collection of short stories on life, politics, military history, and more. Monday, November 12, 2012. The American Idol Election. For President Obama dial: 1-866-BaddAss and for Mitt Romney dial: 1-866-DAWhimp. Cast your votes and vote as many times as you want! Long distance charges may apply. Millions of words will be written about this election and I have not read a single one of them. Too discouraged. Let me spout off with a few thoughts and then I’m done with politics. While that may offer some am...
