Borepatch had to put his dog, Wolfgang down. I can't imagine the pain. I work at home. My big dude follows me around all day. Both of them roust me when it's time to walk, time to quit for the day. Time to take a break and play. Today he posted a longer piece, RTWT. … Continue reading All of Man’s virtues, with none of his vices..

Drone Strikes?
Apparently, our guys got hit by an Iranian drone strike. We came back with an air strike. The U.S. military on Thursday executed airstrikes in Syria in response to a drone strike by Iranian forces earlier in the day on a coalition base that killed a U.S. contractor. "As President Biden has made clear, we … Continue reading Drone Strikes?
Biden’s Griping about Harris?
From PJ Media: Joe Biden is not going to replace Kamala Harris as vice president. Too many Democratic constituencies have too much invested in Harris for Biden to risk a blow-up. But that doesn’t mean Biden is thrilled with having to keep his vice president around for another five years. Two former White House aides … Continue reading Biden’s Griping about Harris?
Timberland Boot Review
I can't believe I didn't write about these boots, all these years. A few years back, fall of 2021 to be exact, I bought a pair of Timberlands to replace my ailing Irish Setters. At the time I said "the last few years" I'd been walking in my Irish Setters. That wasn't true, really. I … Continue reading Timberland Boot Review
Getting to be That Time
I like reading Eaton Rapids Joe's posts about farming and gardening. He goes far deeper than I do, but I've learned quite a bit, especially about waking up old seeds. This year, I managed to start things on time, about 7 weeks before our last frost, which, technically, is next week although we haven't come … Continue reading Getting to be That Time
A Gathering of Men
I'm off today, as it's Lent and I'm heading to the kitchen at the Church to cook. Four Fridays in Lent either the Knights of Columbus or the Men's Club cook a meal. This is usually followed by the African Ministry and the School. I'll be doing Cajun spiced fish, coleslaw, roasted potatoes, and cake. … Continue reading A Gathering of Men
Friday Dog Stuff
I was farting around with my library and found this gem: https://vimeo.com/810721280 Old video of Jasper, probably at the end of the day wanting me to go out and play. You can see Jethro in the doorway. Look at that happy, hopeful face and the tail wagging. Such a cute, cool dude. It broke my … Continue reading Friday Dog Stuff
Shithead of the Week
This is such an easy thing to post. Every week. Every damn week someone does something rude and irritating on the road. Here, I was heading back from grabbing a bite at lunch. Behold: https://vimeo.com/810722876 This is common has hell around here. There was plenty of room to merge right, and still hit the second … Continue reading Shithead of the Week
Friday Dog Stuff
What's better than a $5 WalMart basketball? To the dogs? Nothing. https://vimeo.com/808116912 Homey came damn close to chomping on my thumb. This is a pretty typical night around here. I'm feet up watching my stories and one or both dogs will come in and want to play. Eventually they peter out and fall off to … Continue reading Friday Dog Stuff
Earworms
Don't know why I got stuck on this. Probably because I saw a news post on Dolores O'Riordan. https://youtu.be/_xOfg6USuT4 Wow. https://youtu.be/x_moGbZ2u-U I can't be with you...and she's pregnant. How cool she's rocking it with a kid on the way? https://youtu.be/zgCxXENi3W0 Again, wow. There are few performers that have that stage presence. https://youtu.be/7eRSwsomVeE Wow. She died … Continue reading Earworms
