Arthur Sido had a post up the other day about how TPTB want to turn us into Brazil. I've seen this more than once, floating around the interwebs. There's also a corollary to this about how AI is going to put us all out of jobs. So we need to go to some sort of … Continue reading Glorious Future World
Something Wrong with That Boy
There's something wrong with Jethro. He's not right in the head. If the garage door is open, he'll want to come back into the house through the garage. Makes no sense whatsoever. The dogs have a perfectly good dog door. See: That's him, going outside. And he'll use it to come back in. Unless the … Continue reading Something Wrong with That Boy
Speaking of Locusts…
I write better when I'm annoyed or disgusted. Ass hattery brings out my sense of humor. So when things are going well, I have nothing to vent about. At least nothing I should be sharing anyhow. That's when I fall back on dog posts. The dogs are always entertaining. I also do my best thinking … Continue reading Speaking of Locusts…
Finally
Sitting here farting around on the computer, just after going for a walk, and working out. I hear thunder. The skies have opened up for the first time in months. The temperature dropped twenty degrees. It's now hotter in my office, around all the running electronics, than it is outside. It's wonderful. Hope the spell's … Continue reading Finally

Friday Music
I'm sure I've posted this before. But I'm old and forget shit. https://youtu.be/1YQkRFzOMEQ For the uninititated, a 12 string guitar has roughly double the string tension of a six string. An Acoustic has a higher (generally) action than an electric. When you play a 12 string, you notice straight away that you don't have the … Continue reading Friday Music
Yin & Yang
I've seen Yin/Yang described as chaos and order, crisis and opportunity. I got tired of trying to look it up. So the hell with it. Witness Chaos: What you see here is the cleanup process of a toolbox dump. I have a toolbox that handles irrigation - sprinkler parts, hose parts, tools, and a few … Continue reading Yin & Yang
Tell the Beetle to Shuddup
Robert Francis (AKA Beto) O'Rourke was apparently at a school of some sort, flapping his lips about education (h/t Divemedic): https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1554960448616800256 O'Rourke is, of course, an idiot whose only accomplishments seem to be growing up affluent and marrying into money. He's a nobody former backbencher in congress for a few terms that appeals to the … Continue reading Tell the Beetle to Shuddup
Way to Go, Granny Winebox
What is granny winebox doing going to Taiwan? Antagonizing the Chinese, for sure, that's what. All over talk radio, and in the press, like where I linked, I hear "We can do anything we want, We're Americans". Really? Even though they've been threatening? They don't appear to be bluffing. Will they shoot her down? Probably … Continue reading Way to Go, Granny Winebox
Off to a Weak Start
I'm off this week, sort of by surprise. When I'm off, with no other plans, I try and do two projects a day. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. Nothing got done yesterday but doctors appointments and running around. I had a gut doc followup from an upper GI scope a few … Continue reading Off to a Weak Start
