The Swiss Family Robinson Written by Swiss writer, Johann David Wyss, edited by his son Johann Rudolf Wyss, and illustrated by another son, Johann Emmanuel Wyss, the novel was intended to teach his four sons about family values, good husbandry, the uses of the natural world and self-reliance. I read this book in grade school, yes, that was a long time ago, just after it was written by a Swiss Pastor, Johann David Wyss (1743-1818). He was born in Berne, became an army chaplain, and is said to have told the story episode by episode to his four sons; wrote it.

Build a media center

KODI and Other Media software Posted By Dell I built a PLEX server about six months back. I went with PLEX as I wanted to install a small antenna and a TV card and be able to stream live video on the server as well as other media. I learned a lot over that six months. There are several blog entries covering the computer builds and the antenna builds. I finally got everything I wanted working and pretty cheaply. For computer parts I go to eBay. Do a little homework first, know what you want out of the build and then head

Ten things that evolve as you age… 1.       1: After you take a drink of anything, you sometimes have to remember to close your mouth and swallow. You would think that would be forever automatic, but it isn’t. 2.    2: When your socks evolve into left and right socks? It is time for new socks. 3.    3: Bending over causes a gas, umm, problem… 4.    4: You find yourself at the backdoor staring out at the backyard. You know you went out there for a reason, but you cannot remember what it was. So, you close the door, head

Home A brief explanation of me Home:I was watching TV a little while ago and remembered an incident from my twenties. Racing down a farm road in the middle of winter; icy surface; snowbanks higher than the cars, and me and my buddy chasing each other and barely keeping control of those cars, glancing off the snowbanks, laughing crazily. Sounds irresponsible, I know, but it’s a real memory from my life, irresponsible or not. When I was nine my parents moved back to northern NY, a place I did not remember and did not like at all. The kids thought

(This is true experience. It relates to actual addiction and true prison and life experiences.) Addiction and Sobriety  If you have lived any kind of life at all you have made mistakes. It comes with the human territory; I think it probably comes with any thinking animal’s territory.  Those mistakes may be small, or they may be large and overshadowing. You may be ridiculed because of them, or they may be severe enough that you will have to pay for them. In this country, unless you are rich, that means jail or prison. You may do time for whatever you did.

Cover – The Man’s too Strong

Posted on March 7, 2024 by dello

Another of my favorite songs from Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits release). The man writes deep. Totally different type of music but he reminds me of Tom T Hall. If you have ever listened to Mr. Hall you should. Hopefully you’ll see the similarities I am speaking about. #Singers #Songwriters #AwesomeSongs #SongCovers Home: https://www.writerz.net

Writing Earth’s Survivors

Writing Earth’s Survivors Posted 12-22-2023 A few words about the Earth’s Survivors Series of books: This series was written by me several years ago and remained unpublished. I wrote the original books in longhand in bound composition notebooks. At the time that was what was available to me, at least for the first few books. After that it didn’t matter. I was hooked. The stories seemed to flow perfectly, and I didn’t want to mess with the magic. Sounds crazy, maybe, but those stories come from some place that I don’t have access to, or at least access to any

Christmas is coming

Posted by Dell 12-21-23 3:21 A.M. Well here it is 2023 nearly finished, and it doesn’t look any different than 2022 did. Same politicians with the same promises, same clouds in the sky, same snow on the ground, same Turkeys trying to eat my Fred cat. I know it sounds funny but it isn’t. As you probably didn’t know we’re out here in the boondocks, well, the lesser boondocks, okay, the suburbs of the boondocks. There are some woods here, okay? The turkeys live in the woods, and that’s fine. That’s fine because Fred lives in the house. No problem,
