Tuesday next week Jasper goes to his new home. My heart is already heavy. He's my boy. On the other hand, he's being adopted by a young dude that's going to college while staying at home. We did a few introductions and Jasper passed with flying colors. And why not? He's a very cool dog. … Continue reading User Guide for Jasper

Miscellaneous Crapola
It's officially hot as hell. And the fellas are out in front, rebuilding the street. I can tell you, playing with concrete in 100 degree Texas heat isn't on my bucket list. God Bless'em. They cut off half the street, the northbound half, and started tearing it to pieces. Yet, all day long I'll see … Continue reading Miscellaneous Crapola
I can watch this over and over
https://youtu.be/Nk-QUz3mzFY I've bought two copies of this concert on DVD. Both people I let them to had zero knowledge of who Mark Knopfler was. I was incredulous, and lent them my DVD so they could get a clue. Both times - Gone. Never got it back. Their blend of voices is incredible, as is the … Continue reading I can watch this over and over
The Fourth Turning, Part ll
This is going to be an effortpoast for sure. I don't like to write much about this sort of thing. Others, nearly everyone on my blogroll, does a better job. Peter at Bayou Renaissance had a great post about this last week. Michael Yon has a bunch of material as well. The dots are connecting. … Continue reading The Fourth Turning, Part ll

Happy Father’s Day
Not as big a deal as Mother's Day. I myself would be content to lay about all day and simply have someone to cook other than me. However, around this time I think of my own Dad. He was born in 1929, a few days before Black Monday. Although he lived through the depression, it … Continue reading Happy Father’s Day

Yeah. That’ll Happen
I've been catching up on my Rogan podcasts and caught up to one with Michio Kaku, a real scienceguy. Sort of. You see him everywhere, but mostly on Discovery and that sort of thing. Lots of pie-in-the-sky futurist stuff that Rogan eats up with a fork and spoon. The got to talking about alien life … Continue reading Yeah. That’ll Happen
Let Papa Fix It
Sometimes you don't realize how much you need something until it's gone. We have a water/ice dispenser on our fridge and I hit that puppy many times a day. Slowly but surely, it went out. No water, no ice. I had a week of buying drinking water at the store. A huge hassle. So there's … Continue reading Let Papa Fix It
Carnage in the Hood
It's hot here in North Texas. We had the cooler streak for a week or so and then the serious heat arrived. That's in the shade. In the sun, it was 106 And right on queue, the nitwit brigade on NextDoor is castigating anyone walking their dogs when it's over 85 degrees and posting "Did … Continue reading Carnage in the Hood
