Random Thoughts

I took the hotrod up to the dealer to get a new key. Lunchtime traffic was irritating, to say the lease. What's different about riding a bike is that you get to catch all the sounds and smells. So, how do you get a relatively new Camaro to sound and stink like a 60s pickup … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

Whatever…There are Consequences.

There were a couple of great lines from a book by Robert Fulghum that I've been trying to find for quite some time. Now that I'm done unpacking boxes, I finally found the book which is called "It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It". It's from a story that he wrote where … Continue reading Whatever…There are Consequences. →

New Toys

Go the dogs some toys. Winston's first, far as I know. https://vimeo.com/1059041746?share=copy#t=0 Those two are ZippyPaws brand. I've found them to be toys that they love, and are super durable. It's been some time since this video was recorded. I forgot I had it. It's almost a month old. The poor ladybug is missing her … Continue reading New Toys →

Me Too

Seen on Vox Popoli last week: I don’t want wacky, I don’t want diversity, and I don’t want inclusivity when I’m travelling. I want serious, highly-competent ex-military men in their mid-50s who could land a plane in their sleep. And if I owned this airline, I’d immediately fire every single one of these jokers for … Continue reading Me Too →

I did a thing

An empty space where a pile of clutter was: In that corner, in a space 6x6 by about 4' high was a pile of stuff I've carried to three houses. Most of which I got stuck with when I had to refugee move. Books, parts, furniture, junk. For instance, there were two dive setups from … Continue reading I did a thing →

Gratuitous Dog Pic

It was cold as shit this week. Super cloudy and blustery on Wednesday. Thursday was sunny and I had to get these guys out for a walk. They were driving me nuts. The vet is right. These northern European breeds thrive in the cold. Not me though. BTW, this neighborhood is bristling with cats. Although … Continue reading Gratuitous Dog Pic →

That hit Home

I pondered a bit whether to post this at all. DeWayne has a tremendous sense of clarity, and an awesome delivery style. He's done this to me once or twice, where he comes along and leaves me gape jawed. He's reflecting on one of St. Paul's letters (1 Corinthians, I believe) but he delves back … Continue reading That hit Home →

I did a thing

One of my favorite pastimes is sitting on my patio and thinking big thoughts. I like to spend quiet time out there watching the dogs and wild critters while I think or pray. Especially the birds. So I got a bird feeder. There are a couple small birds hanging on there, chowing down. The change … Continue reading I did a thing →

Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth

The wailing and gnashing of teeth from the left is quite the spectacle. Look at this fool: https://twitter.com/DerrickEvans4WV/status/1888973049619492985 Riddle me this, batman...Whose social security checks? The millions over age 120? I'm sure you've seen this chart of SS recipients by age by now: Before raising the retirement age just as I reach it, how about … Continue reading Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth →

He’s Right, of Course

I really enjoy Tack Room Bible Talk, on the YouTubes. Usually, he'll cover a concept, or passage and spend a bit of time fending off the various Pharisees. He'll say, it's not about dogma. He's only interpreting the word. Last week, he veered away from the bible and had a chat for the women. https://youtu.be/XpOLgUZ2yTE?si=AEPhBteVfF4zN5iq … Continue reading He’s Right, of Course →
