View of the Golden Gate Bridge from Battery Spencer. Back in the late 1800's the bridge was guarded by three 12" diameter guns placed where this photo was taken. There are, in fact, the remains of several bunkers and gun emplacements in this area as well as a few old missile launch areas.

If you talk to someone who's skeptical and they don't ask questions but go on about how they're not convinced and show no curiosity, they're not a real skeptic, they're a scoffer. Their minds can't be changed and no amount of effort will be worth it. Best to just walk away.

I've noticed that skeptics like to group together far more than paranormal enthusiasts. I think it's due to skeptics having a certain amount of stress over the topics, which shows up as anger and they need groups to reinforce their beliefs. Paranormal types don't seem to need that reinforcement.

I hadn't planned on doing family history, but apparently that's a new project. I'm going to be interviewing my father so that future generations will know who he was. He has a great grandson coming who will probably not remember him. (I remember a couple of my great grandparents.)

Join the show tomorrow night for the first guest on my live Q&A: Steve Gonzalves of GHOST HUNTERS. Should be a great conversation and we'll take your questions as well! Sunday, January 11th @ 8:30 PM Eastern / 5:30 PM Pacific www.YouTube.com/@AskProfessorParanormal

Some of my family history has been uncovered. My ancestors immigrated from Germany to Canada as farm hands. From there they migrated to Michigan. And from there my grandparents migrated to California. Canada is sounding pretty good these days.

The Minnesota shooting has really struck a nerve. Both for the obvious injustice of it, but also for the clumsy and obvious way that ICE and Trump have handled it. It's just a microcosm of everything that's wrong at the moment. Truth just seems to be irrelevant.

It's amazing how hard it can be for people to wrap their heads around the idea that reality starts in the mind. We create the exterior world in our minds through our senses. So what's truly real for us is our thoughts , not external reality.
