I realized yesterday that I may have been in the USA too long. I should note that ever since my post on 5 things I hate about America caught the attention of the good denizens of GlockTalk.com, I have been careful about being too critical about my adopted home country. (Somehow, the fact I also wrote 5 things I love about America, and make no claim to my own country being any better didn’t seem to mollify the critics....

Star Wars’ success and popularity have been on a rise within the last few years. After the sequel trilogy, the franchise was all but saved with Lucasfilms’ Disney+ endeavor, The Mandalorian.

But there’s nothing psychic about it; your brain was simply picking up on cues. In fact, your brain is wired to inform you that someone is looking at you — even when they’re not. “Far from being ESP, the perception originates from a system in the brain that’s devoted to detecting where others are looking,” writes social psychologist Ilan Shrira....

They stand in rows in a Virginia field, kind of a White House version of Easter Island. There are 43 concrete busts of most of the U.S. presidents — from George Washington to George W. Bush. Towering at an average of about 20 feet and weighing as much as 22,000 pounds, this is an elementary school student’s history class nightmare. The presidential heads once were on display at Presidents Park in York County, near Williamsburg....

Dear Pablo: I recently saw drinking water sold in a milk carton. It doesn’t seem any better to me than bottled water. Is boxed water really better as the company claims? In past articles, I have shown that boxed beverages have their advantages and are indeed better from an environmental perspective in the case of wine.
