That is the Sound of Inevitability

You hear that Mr. Anderson?... That is the sound of inevitability... It is the sound of your death... Goodbye, Mr. Anderson...Agent Smith Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man had a great piece about the doings in Ukraine the other day. I remember reading Victor Davis Hanson where he explained why countries go to war: They feel … Continue reading That is the Sound of Inevitability →

Friday Funnies

Shamelessly poached from emails I get and sites I visit. I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Afghanistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked … Continue reading Friday Funnies →

RTWT Thursday

I surf a number of blogs and news sites. This is what you have to do these days to figure stuff out. The main stream press sure isn't going to tell you. So I thought I'd post interesting items I find. Unintended Consequences. I'm not so sure. I'll get to that in a bit. Earlier … Continue reading RTWT Thursday →

Why Johnny Can’t Play

Stacy McCain had a piece up on music that really resonated with me about the Band "Chicago" music back in the day. I love music. All kinds. I play music - both guitar and bass, and have for decades. I'm good at it. Not great, but competent. By the way, a lot of friends that … Continue reading Why Johnny Can’t Play →

SCOTUS blocks the jab

The supreme court mostly blocked the vaccine mandate. Mostly. Because it still applies, apparently, to medical staff and only until it works it's way through the courts. It's shrinkflation of law. Like getting a sixpack only to realize all the cans are 10oz. now. Whelp...still beer I suppose. If you haven't seen the Dr. Malone … Continue reading SCOTUS blocks the jab →

Funny Dog Pic Friday

Crazy Girlfren is such a daddy's girl. Aria, at maybe 6 mos. old. Well before she came to us.

They really are that stupid.

Why in the name of all that is holy are we poking at the Russian bear? After the USSR cracked up, NATO should have been disbanded. It's sole existence was to protect Europe from the Ruskies. Trump said it best, when he was insisting the EU pay up. He asked why are we over there … Continue reading They really are that stupid. →

And So It Begins…

The first of the year brought in winter to North Dallas. Got cold As usual, most of the country had actual winter. We've been enjoying 60-70 degrees or more every day.

How Would You Know?

I had big plans for this week. Big Plans. I did the cooking for Christmas and New Years and one of the things I tried out was a recipe for 'Hoppin' John Jambalaya". Seemed awesome. I planned on a victorious post outlining how I made this amazing dish. In reality, it pretty much sucked. To … Continue reading How Would You Know? →

Job Satisfaction

It's been a long week. I've been off for it all, since my company takes the week between Christmas and New Years off, worldwide. Nice. I've tried getting as many projects done as I could, one small, one big per day. I have a stack of tile in the garage - the floor for the … Continue reading Job Satisfaction →
