Getting Fit
For the longest time, I'd go through periods where at the end of the day, I'd go wobbly when I stood up. When I was in for a follow up for some reason, I asked the physician assistant about this. She said I was probably dehydrated. I told that to my son, and he told … Continue reading Getting Fit
Just a Thought…
Saw some footage of these fools the other day: All the people screeching with "No King" signs were A-ok with President Barack 'got-a-pen-and-phone' Obama, and President Auto-pen Biden. Didn't seem to have an issue back then with a president doing what he wants around the people's will and interests, or even some gaggle of hacks … Continue reading Just a Thought…
All Bullshit…
As I scrolled my emails this morning, I knew I'd see a post on substack by Simplicius about the weekend foray into bombing Iran. Sure enough, there was one, with more detailed analysis. His previous post, he laid out three different scenarios for bombing. One of which was we'd tell the Iranians, who would let … Continue reading All Bullshit…

Odds & Ends
I'm off today for 'Juneteenth' for my 'day of reflection. Yeah. Well, I have things to do. So I'll reflect on that. Ran into this on the road the other day: That there is a 1995 Camry, if my eyes aren't mistaken. A 30 year old car. Those cars are indestructible. I had a '94 … Continue reading Odds & Ends
Happy Fathers Day
YOUR FATHER'S WORDS were never just advice, they were echoes of battles he'd already fought and a guide to paths he hoped you'd walk without the scars he carried. I used to give advice to my kids all the time, most of it unwanted. A lot of it when 'celebrating'. I'm sorry. Those of us … Continue reading Happy Fathers Day

It's been raining a lot this week. So keeping things clean has been a challenge. It helps that Aria is a fastidious girl. She'll go out to do her business if it isn't raining too hard, and when she comes in, her paws hit the towel I have on the floor, so she stays clean. … Continue reading Gratuitous Dog Pic
Don’t Play in the Streets
Apparently, there's a widespread protest this week - No Kings. Dumbest thing I've ever heard. Apparently, Trump is acting like a king by enforcing the laws, specifically immigration laws. Something that hasn't been done in four years. This is on the heals of the idiots protesting, waving a Mexican flag, in LA. As an aside, … Continue reading Don’t Play in the Streets
It’s all BS
Things these days in the IT world seem an awful like 2001 or so. Back in the olden days, 1995 or so, when the interwebs came into being, it was everything Internet. In the wild days of the world-wide web, everyone was going to get rich online. It was so stupid that if you could … Continue reading It’s all BS
