I've written a bit about the fourth turning on this site. But aside from the political ramifications, there's a human one as well. After a few generations, we forget not only what our forefathers learned through pain, but a whole lot of institutional knowledge is lost. It's not passed down, or each new generation thinks … Continue reading I don’t think Skynet is all that
Happy veterans day
To all the vets. Far as remembrance day, one of Mark Knopfler's best: https://youtu.be/WyDBXcOwQ5g?t=187
Give’er the beans!
I don't know how I got this onto my feeds, but they are interesting. https://youtu.be/gCqdBNEbPMg?si=bOQS7_UTcsUJhTEl Apparently, I've been doing it wrong all these years. Soak them, cool them slow. I tried it her way with some black eyed peas and it worked great. One of the things she got me on is that dried beans … Continue reading Give’er the beans!
Staying Fit
Getting fit is one thing. Staying fit after you hit 60 is quite another. One thing I discovered, and discover every so often is how fast you lose it when you aren't lifting, and how hard it is to get it back. I spent the better part of the last month sick. Not deathly ill, … Continue reading Staying Fit

Awww. Winston rarely gets to hang with me on the bed.
I’m calling bullshit.
Found this at Midwest Chick's place: Et tu, Bill? Microsoft did not create DOS. They bought it. When they did that, they had one product - a meager BASIC compiler. They stole the idea for Windows from Apple. They've bought around 217 companies, among them: Fox Software (FoxPro DB) Visio Skype Nokia (mobile division) LinkedIn … Continue reading I’m calling bullshit.
Now, matters are worse.
What a wipeout. Everyone lost here from railroad commissioner through comptroller to governor. All the power seats gone. https://youtu.be/ojaw8m2Ysv0 Even that weirdo Talarico won. Hoof! I guess most Texans weren't buying what Paxton was selling. Well, at least he's only one of 100. The way I look at it, with Graham dead and Crockett redistricted … Continue reading Now, matters are worse.
A hallmark moment
Aria isn't a fan of strangers, in general. She doesn't like most kids, especially kids on skateboards or scooters. Didn't care for a muslim kid the other day. I don't think it's an inherent thing. I think it's that she doesn't like being approached by strangers. She's perfectly fine if she walks up to you … Continue reading A hallmark moment

With the cooler weather, I often find Aria outside. I'll go to close the back door for the night and catch her snoozing on the patio. It was a tough summer for her, as usual.
Gearing up for the weekend
It's been a busy week and will be a busy weekend. Low effort ramble incoming. I'm still struggling with this ear infection. It's better, but not where it needs to be. My body seems to hate cold medicine and decongestants. I had a doctor friend suggest Zirtec-D, saying it should clear things right out. It … Continue reading Gearing up for the weekend
