Random Thoughts

No one talks about the debt, really. It's roughly 2.5% of GDP and climbing. Last I saw, it was consuming a huge chunk of tax receipts. Fifty years ago, was a different country. There is no technological revolution in the works to inflate the economy and the Saudis are not doing any deals with the … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

Dumbshits at the Door

You've heard of barbarians at the gate, haven't you? This'll be a new feature called 'Dumbshits at the Door'. I get people doing stupid things in my ring cameras all the time. I generally see them as they happen, since I view the live feed to see if I need to bother answering. I rarely … Continue reading Dumbshits at the Door →

Hurricane Hunkering

Hurricane Beryl wandered around the gulf and went north to the motherland - Texas. Houston and other cities got a beating. We got little, as usual. These things tend to peter out before they hit DFW. So what we get is a welcome rain day in what is usually a dry summer: My Tomato and … Continue reading Hurricane Hunkering →

His line, analogous to "let … Continue reading Be at Peace →

Happy Independence Day

Celebrate it whilst you can, I suppose. What would the founding fathers think of the evil simpletons running the joint these days? What would they think of that debate? What an embarrassing spectacle. This has been a week of gaslighting and excuses trying to tell us we didn't see what we saw and it's no … Continue reading Happy Independence Day →

Getting Fit

I tipped the scales at 192 this month. Not bad. -2 lbs from last month, not as light as a few months ago, but in the ballpark for the last four months or so. We'll see. I've been eating out more lately, most of it social. But I've also changed up my workouts. I'm at … Continue reading Getting Fit →

Ride Report: Wimberly TX

It's been a minute since I've been to Wimberly Texas. The boy and I were trying to think of a way to have a motorcycle road trip and I came up with Wimberly. So we did some planning and found that we could do a 'dot city' route to go check it out. Dot cities … Continue reading Ride Report: Wimberly TX →
