A lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth is happening over the Supreme Court decision that temporary means temporary and the administration can cancel temporary protective status for a whole ton of people. I have a pretty calloused attitude about this. Most of them should've never been admitted and many have been enjoying life on … Continue reading Send them back
Life Lesson
I found this in my travels. Don't remember where, but it really resonates with me. Not only doesn't my side matter anymore, it never did. Realizing that was painful. Now, I rarely bother explaining myself. Just eat the "L" and move on. If you're a man, the sooner you learn this, the better.

I love the stories about the World Cup visitors coming here and finding out all the great things about our country. It's the big thing these days to have stories about it. I especially like the videos I've been watching, where the visitors are sampling Texas BBQ, marveling over the stadiums, highways and stores. They … Continue reading Right on Queue
Another walk in the park
Every weekend, I've been taking the hounds to the local park to walk a few miles on the trail. It's a great trail, one I ride a few times a week on the bike. It's shaded mostly, has hills, trees, critters, all kind of stuff for a dude to admire and a dog to explore. … Continue reading Another walk in the park

Getting Fit
I ran in my second 5K last weekend. It was supposed to be back in April, but I was traveling and it wound up being rained out. So they rescheduled it for this month. I got up early Saturday, and really didn't want to go. I've been fighting allergies for a few months, and it's … Continue reading Getting Fit

(Wipes tear...) It's hot in France. Deadly hot! https://youtu.be/S8l2ro3QMA8?si=pzyxOitMxBs3_ZOE It was 29.8C!. That's 85.6 here in the US. As I type this, it's 93 here in DFW. I think it was 85 when I went out running. It was partly cloudy, 85, no humidity. I did a full 5K and feel great for it. 85 … Continue reading Hahahahahaha….

Morning on the patio
Fixing a window, Part 1
Time was that people fixed things. You could find nearly anything you needed at the hardware store. It's not really a thing today. Back when I was a kid, if you sent a ball through the house window, your old man took you to the hardware store and you had to buy the glass, glazing … Continue reading Fixing a window, Part 1
It’s all so tiresome.
That image is poignant with what I'm about to go into. That is the protagonist (one of them) in a documentary named "Empire of Dust". I've watched it many times and crack up each time. In that scene, he's watching a crew of Congolese workers struggle with fixing the tailgate on a dump truck they've … Continue reading It’s all so tiresome.
