A Book Report I finally made it way through "The Fourth Turning is Here", by Neil Howe. I skipped most of the first half of the book because it was simply catching people up on what the original book was about. To recap; One of the most important concepts is that mankind does not progress … Continue reading The Fourth Turning is Here

Some Thoughts on Performative Goon Bullshit.
J.Kb had a great piece at gunfree zone the other day. It was about those that prep looking at the hole and forgetting the donut. Doodfuses running around with $15,000 worth of NODs but don’t have a fucking Harbor Freight tow strap to unstuck themselves from a snow drift. J.Kb I'm astonished at the number … Continue reading Some Thoughts on Performative Goon Bullshit.
DoubleThink
George Orwell had a word to describe how these nutty lefties think today. It was called DoubleThink. This way you can seemingly hold to objectively opposite opinions at the same time, insisting both are right. For instance it is a simple concept; is always wrong to harass, badger, hurt, or kill innocents. Period, end of … Continue reading DoubleThink
Feelin’ Groovy
I feel great today. Slept like a rock all night. Probably because at the Men's Club meeting last night, we had gumbo, french bread, and potato salad. So today, I'm singing praises for the medicinal and restorative properties of Louisiana Gumbo on a chilly night. Asking a native of Southwest Louisiana how to cook gumbo … Continue reading Feelin’ Groovy
Random Thoughts
It's been a hectic week. I needed to get a few things done for work, since I took Thursday and Friday off. When I requested the PTO, I thought I'd have to move. Well, that didn't happen. So I've been packing. My goal here is to be able to move, maybe after new years, without … Continue reading Random Thoughts
Getting Fit
I clocked in at 200 lbs this month. This is astonishing because I think I have two weeks of exercise for the whole month. Getting a hernia fixed sidelined me for a bit. Then, two weeks ago I wiped out on my bike when turning into the park on some wet leaves. I went down … Continue reading Getting Fit
Happy Anniversary
Today would've been Herself's and my 34th anniversary. It's only worth noting because we had pride in our longevity. I haven't talked with her since she left, although we are able to communicate cordially via email. I don't know if that will ever change. Even last week I had a friend tell me, in no … Continue reading Happy Anniversary
Winston Wants Treats
It's been a crazy week, mostly dealing with the house sale and finding a place to live. I haven't had nearly any time for thoughts, much less random ones. So, a gratuitous dog vidya... https://vimeo.com/890120644?share=copy He's really a lovable doofus. Hasn't eaten any of my stuff this week, which has been nice. I don't post … Continue reading Winston Wants Treats
Recycling a House
On my dog walk, I pass this almost every day: They are clearing the lot for what is probably another McMansion. Pfft...McMansion - really a full on one, in this neighborhood at least. They took the place apart piece by piece. Note the stack of wood to the left. Behind, there's a stack of bricks. … Continue reading Recycling a House
Readying to Bug Out
It's Sunday morning as I type this, and it's cold. I'm waiting for the temps to come up so I can continue packing the garage. Winston is curled up on the bed in my office. The slobbering doofus took out one of my slippers. Can't have anything nice around here. I need to ban him … Continue reading Readying to Bug Out
