Q&A: Why does the temperature drop as elevation increases?

Posted on January 2, 2024

Living (and loving) Life

Question from Amanda:  This morning’s view of the snowcapped mountains through my kitchen window got me to thinking about something.

I’ve always known that the higher up you go in elevation the cooler it gets, but I don’t know why. Can you explain it?  [Read more…]

Q&A: Why don’t we see used UPS trucks on the highway?

Question from Marvin:  For years now I’ve been wanting to get myself a used UPS truck and remodel it into a small RV. Those things are so cool!

The problem I’m having is finding one. I’ve looked at every used car dealership I could find and I’ve never seen even one of them for sale.

And here’s the crazy thing – I’ve never seen a used UPS truck on the highway being used for some other purpose (like my dream RV, for example).

It was a YouTube video of a guy demonstrating a gadget he had built that supposedly creates free energy that will never run out.

In the video it appeared that the machine worked like he said it would, but I’m not convinced that it’s real. Do you think it could be?  [Read more…]

Ever wonder why no one smiled in old photographs?

Posted on March 30, 2023

Living (and loving) Life

If you’ve ever looked through a stack of old photographs from the 19th and early 20th century you surely noticed something very odd…

None (or at least very few) of the people in those vintage photos were smiling.

In fact, they all looked like they had just lost the winning Powerball ticket.

So what’s up with that? Was life in those times so difficult that people just didn’t feel happy enough to smile?  [Read more…]
