Gordon K. Glatz
Gordon K. Glatz was born and raised in the great state of Ohio. The youngest of five children, I am now retired and living in Florida.
I was a master electrician with 30 years experience, and I also taught adult Electrical Classes. Plus I have training and experience in Electronics, Physics, Photography, and Computers
I served three years in the US Army signal corps. In Telephone.
My hobbies and interests include art, cooking and cake baking. I am also an inventor and writer of short stories.
I wrote four Children's Stories, and an Adult story based on my life. I am working on another about Eagles, and a sci-fi story called The Old Man.
None have been published in print, only on my site as e-books, which I have pulled at the present time to try and get them illustrated.

This is the first time in the history of our great land that we have the possibility of a woman or black man as president. The question is can either one win in an honest election against a white male republican. Are the people of this country ready for the change? Have they seen what the past eight...

Big business has grown to where everything is a subsidiary of a few corporations. When Oil was first found it created millionaires over night from people of very humble beginnings. To day big oil runs and controls more then we realize, and will do just about anything to keep that oil flowing, and th...

I received an email from a reader who owned and drove an EV. He explained that the high cost of the battery pack was due to the fact that the car took 50 batteries. If he read my bio he would know I am a retired master electrician, and have taught electrical classes. I do not write before I check o...

It use to be that regular lead acid car batteries were on sale all over the place. You could buy them at any gas station, Sears, Fire Stone, or department stores like K-mart and today Wal-mart.
In the 50's the price started at $9.50 for a one year warranty battery at sears. I owned two or three ...

Nothing lasts for ever and certainly not this computer. A storm and a brown out caused me to have to re-install everything on my hard drive. How ever I have managed to re coop and I am back up to speed.
The light is shining at the end of the tunnel and an electric future may emerge yet. For Ele...

I live in a small apartment where the mail is delivered to community boxes. That are set up on steel poles at three locations one for each group of apartments. The box is about 5 or 6 inches square by 12 inches deep, and will hold only so much mail. I don't always check the mail every day, and proba...

The clock is ticking to the last days of the Bush administration, whether that is November of 2008 or sooner may depend on the people. There are movements in the cyber world of the internet to remove this mistake from office. I do not know how far this extends into the real world other then what I h...

In the past immigrants to our shores had to pass through a holding point until their papers and health were checked. Once admitted to this country they had to learn our History, Government, Geography, and English in order to pass the test for citizenship.
Originally, they came here at the time o...

I grew up from 1936 to 1954, and I remember what we have gained and lost since. People spent more time out doors, with walks in the park, or picnic outings to the country, woods, or seashore. They had back yard parties with singing and dancing, and played games in the yard. There were indoor and out...

We hear all these terms bandied about, in the political arena ever day in the news. They have always been a wonder to me, as I must admit I am ignorant of what they mean. The more I get in to politics the more I wonder just how they apply to me; I ask my self just where do I stand? What am I?

In the world of the future as I see it, all buildings will have their own power. We will have self-contained homes, nothing but cable for TV, Telephone, and computer. Only ceiling lights, and some larger appliances will be connected to the house wiring. It's power coming from a unit in the house, or...

Someone once said, " Necessity is the mother of invention". But I think laziness is the mother of Invention. More major inventions have come about since the turn of the century, then any-other time. And if you take a good look at them, you will see that most make something easier to do.

The war on terror did not start with 9/11, as far as this country goes. We have been at war with terror since our inception as a free country, and have had to deal with it. The Indian's were terrorist to the settlers, and when we were fighting for our freedom we were the terrorist to the British. Wh...

I borrowed this Buddha wisdom from another writers Article, as it is what I have been saying for years.
• Buddha - Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta: "Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because i...

I am not a scientist, or even a collage graduate. I only know what I have learned from 71 years of life on this planet. I go by what logic tells me is correct. I am not ignoring any other possibilities, or pretending they don't exist.
All the theories in the world prove nothing, that is why they...

I am writing this article in response to an article by Mark Lowry, March 17, 2007 entitled, "The Great Global Warming Swindle (Complete) BBC Commentary"
There are millions of web sites, that have good and bad information, and it is hard to know what is true. But when it comes to understanding the...

ELECTION REFORM
This would solve several problems we now have, plus insure:
(1) No double voting
(2) No mistakes in marking ballots
(3) Insure a paper trail for recount.
(4) Reduce cost by not registering each year.
(5) Reduce waiting time at the polls
THE REGISTRATION PROCESS...

I do not agree with Jessica's Law, and not just because I read this article, "Don't sign Jessica's law," By Dr. B. Cayenne Bird. She makes some good points, and I agree with some of what she says.
I would not want any thing to happen to kids, or grand kids of mine either, but this law is just...
