Idiot Alert
I get alerts on Facebook when friends post, or reply to posts. It's a useful feature. But I have more than a couple left friends, a few with Trump Derangement Syndrome. I don't reply to their dump posts, or the ones they comment on. They have no logic and reason, and a pigpile starts should … Continue reading Idiot Alert
Thoughts & Prayers
So this sort of bullshit is starting to fly. This, posted by a supposedly devout Catholic, no less.; My thoughts, which I replied: Thoughts and prayers aren't meant to keep shooters out of schools or demented geezers from power. They are meant to comfort, console, and heal the families of the victims killed and wounded … Continue reading Thoughts & Prayers
Getting Started
This one hit me on ZeroHedge. College grad can't score a cush job right out of school. If you recently graduated from college, good luck trying to find a decent job. What we are experiencing right now reminds me so much of the early 1990s. If you were a new college graduate in those days, … Continue reading Getting Started
Sunset in Texas
Came out of a meeting last Thursday to discover it had rained, and a beautiful sunset was upon us. Glad I decided to save my leg and not ride the bike. Or walk. FWIW, It's only two blocks from my house. My sore leg didn't need it. It's been mild and rainy this summer. It's … Continue reading Sunset in Texas
A Momentous Event.
I missed this whilst driving to Plano the other day: The old girl passed 100K. It runs beautifully. My only complaint is that there's so much space inside, it takes both the front and rear air awhile to cool down. Works better when I use a sunshade, and open the windows an hour or two … Continue reading A Momentous Event.
This is How They Do It
Windows 10 is being discontinued. Microsoft is working hard to make sure your computer is now useless unless you subscribe to Windows 11. I got an email earlier this month warning me, yet again, that no updates would come after the (I think) October date. You could, however, purchase your own 3rd party security, which … Continue reading This is How They Do It

Kill the Pork
The USPS is having problems with it's new, custom, delivery vehicle. Like they barely have any of them to replace their decrepit LLVs that are still rattling and clattering around. A $10 billion contract awarded by the Biden administration for the production of 35,000 electric vehicles (EVs) to replace the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) aging … Continue reading Kill the Pork
Spoke Too Soon…
The other day I was chirping about adding a Friday run. Turns out Nemesis may have appeared to deal with my hubris. After Friday's runs, my legs and calves are tight. Usually it goes away. This last Monday, I didn't get out to run until later, and things had heated up pretty good. Meh...I went … Continue reading Spoke Too Soon…
