THE MAN WHO SLICED TIME
I was eating a toasted gluten free, everything bagel that was sliced so nicely. As I was sipping coffee, munching, on my bagel, and reading the news on MSN I saw an article about the inventor of the automated bread slicer in 1928. I researched the article, read more about the invention, and found out Wonder Bread was the first sliced bread loaf sold in 1928. July 7, 1928, was the inventor's birthday and the birthday of Otto's Bread Slicer. Enjoy history with a SyFy, for fun, fictional vs truth story!

To celebrate Cheesecake Day on 30 July, I wrote a poem composed by two Senryūs, which you can read here below, in case you’ve missed it:

The Parable of the Prodigal Son: A Bible Story of Forgiveness and Love. AI-Generated.
In a quiet village near Jerusalem, around 30 AD, Jesus often gathered crowds to share stories that carried deep truths about God’s love. One day, as the sun dipped low, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, a group of people—farmers, tax collectors, and Pharisees—sat on a hillside to listen. Some grumbled that Jesus welcomed sinners, so He began to tell the Parable of the Prodigal Son, a moving story of forgiveness, redemption, and a father’s unending love, found in the Gospel of Luke (15:11-32). This tale would touch hearts then and continues to inspire us today.
