Signs

I'm not a yard sign guy. What's the point of a secret ballot if you broadcast to the world how you will vote. Mostly, I see this as mere virtue signalling. The majority of the political sign types, around here anyways, tend to have on up all year. "We don't care who you are, we're … Continue reading Signs →

Monday: Quote of the Week

"Do not deprive me from my suffering and my pain, for negative consequences must follow if I hope to learn from the crimes I committed against myself.

Gonna be a Great Day, Tater…

A post over at PawPaw's House tickled my memory and reminded me that I needed to put in an order for Boudin with the motherland's finest purveyors of specialty meats. And it showed up yesterday afternoon. A care package from the motherland That big chunk of meat at the top is Tasso. It's used more … Continue reading Gonna be a Great Day, Tater… →

Measuring your Words

Wranglerstar posted a great video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/WxUOZ6Bvw3Y My dad had some advice for measuring your words, thinking before you speak, that he gave a number of us kids. I won't do it justice. I only remember it from my brother telling me a few years ago, which jogged a dim memory of him telling me. It … Continue reading Measuring your Words →

Wednesday Night Cooking

I haven't been cooking much at night. My wife has been working late, so things I've cooked on Sunday tend to last all week. Hell, sitting in the fridge now is a picnic roast, a handful of chicken thighs, and what's left of a store bought chicken. And I've been eating on them all week. … Continue reading Wednesday Night Cooking →

Choose your Destructor…Part 2

All the trouble in the world these days makes me spend more time with my dogs. During Cancer therapy, I could do little but sit in front of a computer or a TV. Watched a lot of home improvement shows. To this day I get flashbacks if I'm in a public space somewhere and the … Continue reading Choose your Destructor…Part 2 →

Rest in Peace, EVH

Eddie Van Halen passed this week after battling Cancer. Throat Cancer is where it started. It's a pretty common form among men. Matter of fact, it happened to me. You can read about it here.

These people are nuts.

To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil. — Charles Krauthammer I'd add that the liberal prog of today thinks anyone that isn't 100% with them is evil and needs to die. Hell, they say it enough. Look at how they … Continue reading These people are nuts. →

Choose your Destructor…

I love my dogs. Each has a unique personality. They also share one thing in common; a zest for tearing apart stuff. It isn't tough to prevent destruction. Simply put stuff you don't want to lose out of their reach. I can't remember the last time I left shoes out. They aren't without sense though. … Continue reading Choose your Destructor… →
