It never ceases to amaze me how we never stop learning. I don’t mean just book learning, but the kind of realizations and lessons, that only time and experience can bring. It seems no matter how old we get, we can always look back and marvel at how little we actually knew before. Be it Continue reading...
Writing yesterday about my little garbage holders reminded me of what garbage is often put in – those plastic grocery bags that most stores still give out. Recycling the ones that find their way to me, as a few always seem to do, I just don’t think about using them for trash anymore. They automatically Continue reading...
I have interesting garbage. Or should I say, I collect my garbage in some rather interesting containers. The can outside is normal enough, an actual real life garbage can.

When they were only about 2 months old, Leo the lion, Shere Khan the tiger, and Baloo the bear, were all rescued during a drug bust Continue reading...
While we now have access to an almost unimaginable wealth of information via the internet, one unavoidable consequence is determining the accuracy of that information. Anyone, and his brother or sister, including me, can proffer information on any number of subjects. The challenge is to weed out the accurate from the inaccurate on the web. Continue reading...
If you’ve been here in the last couple of days you’ve likely noticed a lot of different blog format changes, not to mention times when the blog wasn’t even accessible. The feature and design changes I originally spoke of sort of took on a life of their own. One planned idea led to a dozen Continue reading...

However, it’s address is now www.elizabethely.com/harp What you will now find at www.elizabethely.com aka Elizabeth Ely dot Com are the wanderings of my mind – Continue reading...
