JOHN’S GONE HOME
welcome to trudging onward. this site created in memory of John A. Davison, Ph.D., scientist, philosopher, thinker. in it we hope to continue to explore the ideas and opinions of the hopeless and helpless. we recognize that we are but a bunch of blips. what some of us continue to struggle with is how much the blips are loved. comments entertained regarding the mysteries and marvels of the daily grind, by which we trudge onward. -wfs2
