If Looks Could Kill

I take pictures of people I don’t know. Sometimes they smile, sometimes they frown. I can try to make educated guesses but in truth I never really know how they … Continue reading If Looks Could Kill

Girl facing building with her back to the sidewalk, smoking. Boy riding on bicycle sees her, stops. Both sneak glances at each other, furtively. 🙂 🙂 🙂

“…and I only am escaped alone, to tell thee.”

Russian mobsters? No, worse.  Cult fanatics of the Jehovah’s Witnesses variety. In a calm voice I tried to explain to them how the very word ‘Jehovah’ is a mistranslation of … Continue reading “…and I only am escaped alone, to tell thee.”

New Beginnings

Bears are hibernating, wolves prefer this time of year to frolic in deep snow, and the Pacific Ocean is a 10-day drive back to the other coast. What to do, … Continue reading New Beginnings

Hello & Welcome!

I’m John Hayes – aka oopsjohn, the ‘holy goof’ – an enigmatic septuagenarian with Pantagruelian appetites and a near-fatal tendency to ask too many questions.

Expect to find on this site an ever-evolving and widely diverse collection of “pics & quips” as well as conjectures and reflections designed to inform and engage.

I have no ax to grind or soapbox opinions to bludgeon you with (sic!), although I often play ‘devil’s advocate’ in order to encourage critical thinking.

Thanks for visiting…

PS – Commercial followers will be deleted.
