My Thoughts
When I began making this site, I really had no idea which
direction it would take. The last few years saw me and my family change
residences four times, including three international moves. Quite a lot for a
non-military family. Anyway, each move involved taking chances, making changes,
and trying to be happy. Those ten years were trying times for my family to say
the least. We made changes that most people would not have even thought were
possible but somehow we pulled it off and are finally stable, living on a small
island in Japan. Hopefully these pages will serve as inspiration to those of you
thinking about making similar changes to your situation. Enjoy, and of course,
feel free to post in the Facebook comments section at the bottom of each page. |

The month of December 2022 saw me as the target of a very
well thought out and sophisticated online scam.

America
The America section of this site was inspired by the 2016
presidential election and the turmoil which Donald Trump created during his four
years as president of the United States of America....what used to be a great
country. I am miles away from America (now residing in Japan) and continue to
watch American society degrade further into a violent, paranoid, and
materialistic culture. Now with the 2020 election finished, and Trump officially
out as president, I was going to delete this entire section. Then I decided it
was important for my sons to know what their family stands for and what pushed
us to make the choice to permanently live in Japan.

Education
Home education is the education of children at home,
typically by parents or professional tutors, rather than in
a public or private school. Before the introduction of
compulsory school attendance laws, most childhood education
occurred within the family or community, home education in
the modern sense is an alternative in developed countries to
formal education.
In many places home education is a legal option for parents who wish to provide
their children with a different learning environment than exists in nearby
schools. The motivations for home education range from a dissatisfaction with
the schools in their area to the desire for better academic test results. It is
also an alternative for families living in isolated rural locations and those
who choose, for practical or personal reasons, not to have their children attend
school.

THOUGHTS
How to be Happy in this Crazy World
I am not a therapist, psychologist, philosopher, or motivational speaker.
I am simply someone who has been through a lot of good and
bad times and has learned much along the way. For me at
least, happiness depends on three things. Without
them existence can become pretty dull and boring and that's
not the way things need to be. If you are miserable and feel
like you cannot find a way out, realize that you are in
control of your destiny....at least to some extent. Sure
shit
happens and you might get knocked back a few times, but you
need to pick yourself up and keep going. Ah....back to the
three things.

Overview of Climate Change Science
Earth's climate is changing. Multiple lines of evidence
show changes in our weather, oceans, ecosystems, and more. Natural causes alone
cannot explain all of these changes. Human activities are contributing to
climate change, primarily by releasing billions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO2)
and other heat-trapping gases, known as greenhouse gases, into the atmosphere
every year.
The EPA had a kick ass overview of climate change until Trump became president
and had it all removed. Since the information was on a government site, it was
all in the public domain and could be copied by anybody....verbatim. That is
exactly what I did and put it all on my Fun Easy English site so The World could
benefit from this detailed scientific information.
