Let's Do Lunch at the Little A'Le'Inn

Where could you go for a meal when you are hankering for a taste of something a little different? Something unusual with an off the beaten path kind of atmosphere, of course. How about doing lunch at the Little A'Le'Inn located near the mysterious Area 51 in Rachel, Nevada? I contacted Pat Travis, one of the owners of the Little A'Le'Inn, to find out what is on the lunch menu. They have lots of sandwiches, but I think we simply must have their world famous Alien Burger.

The Roadrunner hits Messersmith

Ralph “Roadrunner” Garr hit a ground ball to the right of Yankees’ reserve catcher Cliff Johnson, who was playing first base. Johnson ranged toward second base, fielded the ball, and threw to pitcher Andy Messersmith, who was running over to cover first base. Johnson’s throw was behind Messersmith, forcing the new Yankee to reach back for the ball and as he did so, Messersmith tripped over the bag.

Multiple Personality Disorder and Demonic and Spirit Possession – Part I

Multiple Personality Disorder, MPD, is now called Dissociative Identity Disorder, DID. When I took a course in abnormal psychology, it was classified as a neurosis. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, DSM IV TR, written by the American Psychiatric Association, is the reference book mental health professionals use to diagnose for billing purposes. The criteria for MPD is that there are two or more distinct and different identities, at least two of these take control of the person’s behavior and not being able to recall important information that is too extensive to be explained by simply forgetting. The personalities are called alters. This is not due to effects of a substance, such as blackouts or a medical condition. Could possession be a demon as one of the alters of MPD? Two eminent psychiatrists, the late M. Scott Peck and the retired Ralph Allison, have treated people with MPD and both have experienced demonic personalities during the course of treatment. Dr. Peck died Sunday, September 25, 2005 after a long illness. I first read about their work when I was writing my doctoral thesis. The topic I was working on was demonic possession and exorcism. At the time, I had no need to explore MPD further because it was beyond the scope of the thesis subject. Since then, I have acquired their books and have studied them.

Great Science, Great Art = Great Times

Wow, the north coast IS hopping... we recently visited the Great Lakes Science Center in Downtown Cleveland, a trip we sandwiched between the Cleveland/Cincinnati football game and an Indians home game, and guess what? We didn't have any trouble parking. And that was only the beginning of our amazing adventure....
