80 Days Adventure Around the World
80 Days Adventure Around the World:
What a day! First we went to the rice fields and saw freshly planted rice with people working in the fields. Next we stopped at the Butterfly Swing and that was a breathtaking experience. The Holy Water Temple was our next stop and it was a most beautiful site to see. Our next adventure for the day was driving the winding, narrow, jungle mountain roads to the Batur volcano. The last adventure was the amazing Elephant Park where we saw the Sumatra elephants, the smallest elephants in the world. 03/23/2023 12:00 AM

It Seems To Me
It Seems To Me
In a previous article, I used the dictionary definition of the word PERVERSION: “to alter something from its original course, its meaning or state, to a distortion of corruption of what was first intended”. Perversion is basically the substance of woke culture along with alphabet ideology about sexual orientation. The logical response of most people would be to correct that which has been corrupted and establish its original intent. A parent does this, using a ‘quiet time’ for a misbehaving child, to think about their actions and correct them. 03/23/2023 12:00 AM
Eve Ball’s Written Account of Archie Frame’s Interview of 1947
Eve Ball’s Written Account of Archie Frame’s Interview of 1947
How can any closure come to a Spider Rock Texas Treasure Hunt that began in 1902 and has continued to the present, a hunt that continues today? We are talking about a 120-year period of searching; this writer joined the hunt 55 years ago. It has been 74 years since Eve Ball interviewed Archie Frame about their Spanish Research Mine in New Mexico which they dug on for 22 summers, from 1920 to 1942. The Archie Frame interview was printed in True West in December of 1973— 50 years ago. That magazine issue is rare and hard to find so it will be reprinted here. 03/23/2023 12:00 AM
