Sobre IBD

The Road Ahead is something that we all are on, and like the old saying, 'When you come to a fork in the road-take it,' you will travel with the author in this volume of rambling thoughts, observations and acerbic opinions with a certain amount of unease. You are not expected to agree, but may be provoked, challenged, and occasionally outraged. The author reminds us that America is at a 'tipping point' beyond which a whole new society awaits. Whether that will be good or bad-we won’t know until we are there. And, if The Shadow Knows-he ain’t tellin’...

  • He Caught the Westbound
    Dayton Lummis
    “He caught the westbound” is an old American hobo expression for someone who has departed from this life. In the case of this book it is employed to be symbolic of a passing American way of life and the people who created that. We live in troubled times, and the author often uncomfortably reminds us so. Yet positive travel experiences relieve the pessimism wherein the author sa...

  • DEATH BY DEVICE
    Dayton Lummis
    The author freely admits that 'devices' are not all bad. For better or worse they have changed the world. But this book ranges far from the subject of the effects of 'devices,' often into areas distinctly 'politically incorrect.' Some commentary is amusing; others might be seen as 'disturbing.' This is a good companion book for your 'one-way trip to Mars!' Read it, and you will...

  • Fly Me to the Moon
    Dayton Lummis
    To some this collection of commentary and observations-fourth in what now must be called 'The Notational Quartet'-might seem as remote as the proverbial 'Man in the Moon.' But the reader will find it very relevant to the changing and troubled times that we find ourselves in. The author has steered the reader and vessel to a distant and little known shore, where hope for return ...
