Getting Fit

I tipped the scales at 192 this morning. Probably less, since I wasn't buck nekkid on the scale. So my weight has been stable - +/- 5lbs since January or so. I think it cracked 190 because I've easily added 5 lbs of muscle in my shoulders and thighs. When I returned from vacation in … Continue reading Getting Fit →

Check On Your People

Most of the cities around here have codes for upkeep of your property. Plano is especially tough, although I see a lot of crappy lawns around here. But as long as the grass isn't too high (you need grass for that) they appear to leave you alone. More often than not, a nosy neighbor complains. … Continue reading Check On Your People →

Let the Games Begin

This is after a week of gaslighting, making Kamala Harris the bestest candidate evarrrr! We are told it was always thus, and the people loved her. Sure. Remember this? https://youtu.be/WabvabWvv8k?si=HZOfLP8F8Kbr4mZX An epic throat slit shanking on live TV. You see, Harris' specialty was locking up soul brothers for weed, keeping them in prison longer than … Continue reading Let the Games Begin →

Winston loves nothing more than dozing in the sun after breakfast.

They Said Hurty Words

Apparently the imbecilic head of the secret service, Kimberly Cheatle, fell on her sword after getting roughed up in congress. I don't think that was her plan, originally. Personally, I think they should've brought in Aesop for the hammering: Somebody made the decision to half-ass Trump's protective detail all along. Somebody made the decision, despite multiple requests … Continue reading They Said Hurty Words →

Can’t Have Nice Things

This is the dog water fountain at the park: All clogged up with rocks because the indigenous population lets their dumb kids play with it. Whatever. Both my dogs can reach the fountain used for humans. I'll simply use that. Hopefully within site of an IP. The park is has only been open a few … Continue reading Can’t Have Nice Things →

Movie Plots

I read this post awhile ago about the seven basic movie plots, but didn't think about it until I'd seen a number of movies, all about the same thing. Once is nothing. Twice is interesting. Three times is a pattern. That's my rainman skill. I notice patterns. Turns out, I read it on Wilder's site. … Continue reading Movie Plots →

Aria's spot when at the Girl's is on the couch, next to us. Until she gets hot, then she moves to the tile floor.

Random Thoughts

I'm with Denniger here, about software: There's a quite-serious problem with the shift we've seen in software over the last decade or so. In short: You can't buy it anymore, only get a subscription. The "buy it" system typically worked like this: You paid for each "seat" you wished to use at once. One butt, … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

I’m with Hanlon here

Lot of commentary this week over the Trump assassination attempt. BCE probably has the best and most entertaining. But I'm going with El Gato Malo here. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. And it's ugly stepsister, incompetence. and it’s not like the secret service is all that it once was. … Continue reading I’m with Hanlon here →
