Old Man Rambling Thoughts
Man, oh man, it's been a busy week. But I finished the course I was working on forever. I upgraded the lab VM and it appears to work. Time will tell. That is one huge monkey off my back, that's been smashing my skull since the end of January. The weather has been awesome here. … Continue reading Old Man Rambling Thoughts
On Dying
Filthie's dad is dying. He posted a piece last week that got me thinking. I should have told dad I loved him when I left… but the men in my family don’t talk like that. I found it difficult to think, it was bedlam at the home. These are people at the end of their … Continue reading On Dying
Gratuitous Dog Pic
She does this a lot, preventing me from rolling to sleep on my left side. Who wants their face in the middle of a dogs asshole?
It’s what it is..
Kim DuToit discovers insurance companies are dens of thieves. Was chatting to my insurance guy the other day, and the result of said discussion was that as far as my VW Tiguan is concerned, I’m screwed if I ever get into a wreck because the book value of the 2013 model with 130,000+ miles is … Continue reading It’s what it is..
The Burden of Forgiveness
I stumbled on this video the other day: https://youtu.be/mPIsafgjR3o?si=Nm9zgPfsEisTYkpF This is a concept I hadn't thought about.

Old Man Rambling Thoughts
Funny drunkblogging SOTU commentary from Stephen Green: Here he comes. Eyes wide open for the first time in months, spring in his step… he's wired to the tits on whatever they have him on. Wow. This is bad. Forget the content, which is just weird for a SOTU intro. The delivery is rushed, shouted, and … Continue reading Old Man Rambling Thoughts
Failing Upward
Zman had a piece the other day on saving face/oriental managerialism: This idea of face saving is not entirely alien to the West, but it is not a natural thing the way we see it practiced by our elites. Western societies are moral societies, held together as much by a set of agreed upon codes, … Continue reading Failing Upward
