Credentialed vs Educated

Saturday, February 5, 2011

Have credentials, ie, where you graduated from, become more important than actually getting educated? Considering almost everyone appointed by the current Administration has a fancy degree in something or other from some  impressive Ivy League college or other, and have no actual experience in anything useful, like having ANY kind of a job outside of […]

Dynamite Memories

Day 35

The Old Home Place #5.  next door to 280, Mom had this nice log home built, 282 West Sixth.  It was also on the river.  Drama time: the builder mis-appropriated a lot of Mom’s money so it was never quite finished when we had it.  The gal that bought 280 from us (in the next […]

Day 34

Thursday, February 3, 2011

The Old Home Place #4…280 West Sixth Street, Whitefish.  (I know it says 202 on the post, but they renumbered everything in 1977, I think it was…).  This home was on Whitefish River.  THAT was fun!  It looks pretty much the same from the front, other than the carport was grass and a sidewalk, and […]

Day 33

Thursday, February 3, 2011

The Old Home Place…#3.  I will find of Numbers 1 & 2 and submit them also at some point.  This is the first house we lived in when we moved to Whitefish in 1967.  519 Skyles Place.  Back then there was a different fence (Dad made it from 10 cent stud 2×4’s), grass instead of […]
