Sacrifice

This thread on Blab it a nerve with me: After my son was born, my wife scored what she thought was the dream job. And so it was. But it didn't take long to figure out that she was working to pay the car note and daycare so she could go to work to pay … Continue reading Sacrifice →

Glorious Future World

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.

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 →
