BATMAN AND ROBIN My dears, how silly is the question about Batman. Does anyone truly care?
DC Comics tells that a character, thought to be straight, will be revealed as 'gay'. Newspapers write articles about the coming 'outing'. How silly.
Rather think that being 'gay' is the new flavour of the year. What with the President of US coming out in favour of same sex marriage and all.
This old geezer believes that homosexuals will never be totally accepted until folks stop doing this sort of thing. When it becomes so natural, that no one remarks on, then it will be of no great import anymore. Sort of like, left handed people, bald men, women in pants, black president...
It is so boring, the amount of time spent of wondering about someone's sexual proclivity. Do you really care if famous film star bats for the other team? Sports hero is a switch hitter? As for the banging on from famous folks about their 'marriage', children and courage at being so 'open', "Shut Up" already...
As for Batman, he does look rather good in tights...
Today I say one of your
outreach workers
administering to one of
the homeless in
Waikiki.The homeless man
in question is well known
to you, as you have
reached out to him in the
past. Provided housing
and even went so far as
to deliver his medicines

For many months last year
I walked past a man who
was camped out on a bench
in Waikiki. Had the
very best spot on Waikiki
Beach, just across the
road from ABC stores and
right in the middle of
the beach where all of
the tourists walk
past.This...
Just the other day, the
local newspaper did a
story about the homeless
on Oahu. Like any
clever newspaper, the
Star Advertiser had staff
photos to go with the
story.The image of a 32
year old man, from West
Coast, holding a placard
with the me...
A recent trip to K-Mart
gave the old geezer the
opportunity to check out
who was hanging about
IHS. The shelter
run by IHS is just across
the road from K-Mart.As
luck would have it, the
old geezer spied someone
known to, sitting on the
car par...
A Comparative Climatology
Symposium held at NASA
Headquarters on May 7

Only rarely have people
seen what happens when
chimpanzees and leopards
come into close quarters
in the wilds of Africa.
On these occasions,
chimpanzees have made
loud, fearful calls, or
played the aggressor: In
one case, chimps even
surrounded a leo...
Slow earthquakes don't
kill anyone, but they're
certainly suspicious
characters. Recent great
earthquakes, such as
massive temblors in Japan
and Chile, were
foreshadowed by slow
quakes shuffling through
the regions in the months
before the deadly sha...
As Memorial Day weekend
sees people in the United
States celebrating the
opening of beach season,
data from a European
Environment Agency (EEA)
report serves as a
warning of how wild
weather can affect water
safety.

same cause, which is
childhood cancer. Mine

When I was growing up in
France, sugar came in the
form of small rectangles
or squares for use in
coffee or tea. You would
buy a kilo of sugar all
wrapped up in a cardboard
box which would, in turn,
fit snuggly in a metal
sugar box. This
effectively ... more
