What a week. Lot of stuff to digest. I had the coof last week (a week ago, a week before this?). Starting Sunday, I started feeling better, nearly normal, by Thursday. Then, I'm thinking theCoof hit my already screwed up lungs and I've been fighting allergy symptoms all week. I've had to hit my rescue … Continue reading The Continuing Crisis

A man is flying in a hot-air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man below. He lowers the balloon farther and shouts, "Excuse me! Can you tell me where I am?"The man below says: "Yes, you're in a hot-air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field.""You must be an … Continue reading Friday Funnies
A Barn Find
The product I support in my real job is OEM-d to two other manufacturers, and I create and maintain the training courses for them, as well as the original. For a modest fee, of course. Ever so often they ask for updates or changes. It's a living. A good one actually. So one of these … Continue reading A Barn Find
Amazon Free Month
I may declare May into June to be Amazon Free. Meaning I don't buy anything from them during the rest of month of May and half of June. I'm starting to get all manner of innocuous crap from them that I could've just as easily gotten somewhere local. Hell, their prices aren't even that good … Continue reading Amazon Free Month
Make it Stop
I don't know where I found this. But I went on the site, sized it up, then left. I'm literally getting hammered with Ads for this stupid product with an even dumber name nearly everywhere I go. Each video you have a whiny millenial voice complaining on how hard it is to maintain a lawn … Continue reading Make it Stop

Herself was at the Daughters, helping her mind the kids after her procedure. So we did Mother's day … Continue reading Tough Week

ZMan had a great piece on Takimag Monday. Really put some clarity on why most of social media has been ruined by nitwits. It was only in the past decade that what we think of as social media came online and made it easy for the left side of the bell curve to join the … Continue reading Why we can’t have anything nice.
Leaky Courts
Apparently there was a leak from a Supreme Court. Now, we have histrionics. How long? How long, oh Lord, will we have to endure pinheads freaking out and acting up? First off when the thing first posted, I heard a bit of it being talked about on the radio and their conclusion early on was … Continue reading Leaky Courts
The Gell-Mann Amnesia effect
“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong … Continue reading The Gell-Mann Amnesia effect
