Had a lot of screen time this week, what with the ice and whatnot. Tax season is ramping up and just as Herself would be in the office late, she's here working. Which the dogs loved. They'll lay around all day and get super animated when she comes home. This week, Jethro has been posted … Continue reading End of a Long Week
Things that hit my funny bone
This morning I was slow to get going and found some funnies at the Bitter Centurian. I think I've said about half of those in real life. #1 and #10 for sure, multiple times. He had a piece on Bill Gates The funnybone quote: “At the end of the day, I’ll be the one who’s … Continue reading Things that hit my funny bone
Welcome to Planet Real World
We're having a bit of a Tech meltdown. I've seen this one before. Got the t-shirt. Been my third, at least. What's different about this one is the sheer number of spoiled tech workers. I've seen videos from Twitter and Google employees. This is the latest one I've seen: https://youtu.be/7sGBLFi_WCI The Twitter one was nearly … Continue reading Welcome to Planet Real World
Scenes from IceApocalypse 2023
We had a 'wintry mix' last two days. Which was really ice and rain. I was telling my collegues that the white stuff you see isn't snow. It's ice, not unlike the 'snow' that's made at a ski resort. Then it rained on top and froze, as it does about once a year here. BTW, … Continue reading Scenes from IceApocalypse 2023
End of an Era
Pat Buchanan hung up his keyboard. The man had a sense of clarity that few have today. I've spent the last 30 years or so reading his columns and books. Some books were epic - like his tome on WW2, which at the end explained how entangling alliances caused us no end of misery. Entangling … Continue reading End of an Era
Let Papa Fix the Flashlights
Some time ago, my brother in law was telling me about having to deal with a chronic sore achilles, and the doctor visits. Dude retired, and got into fitness - running, tennis, whatnot. Lost the dad bod, and leaned out. The picture of health, other than his ankle. After all sorts of test, the doc … Continue reading Let Papa Fix the Flashlights
Wintry Mix
We had ice today, which shut down a lot of the numbnuttery. Speaking of numbnuts, Jethro was overjoyed to discover ice was falling from the sky. https://vimeo.com/794682513 I cut out the parts where he was doing his bidness. This is a family site, after all. That white stuff is ice. It was thundering as it … Continue reading Wintry Mix
That’s Hardly Fair
I was listening to talk radio in the morning, as I normally do, and the host was prattling on about the Republican upstarts putting in a bill for a fair tax. Fair tax being - getting rid of income tax, and instituting a 30% sales tax. That's hardly fair. First off I believe the income … Continue reading That’s Hardly Fair
And So it Begins…
We're getting a 'Wint'ry Mix' tomorrow, and the city here is shutting down. It's been hovering around freezing today, and right on queue, the simpletons among us have been wrecking their cars. I took a break to go get something to eat, and right in front of Wally World was a mustang up on the … Continue reading And So it Begins…
That’s gonna leave a mark.
I was at the dentist the other day getting a filling repaired. It wasn't usual dentist, since he was too busy with another patient. Fair enough, I've often been the one that breaks into the schedule in the middle of the day to have something or another looked at. While they were working the doctor … Continue reading That’s gonna leave a mark.
