News this week was that the consumer product safety commission want's to ban our gas stoves. More here. Then they said no, we weren't planning on that. Apparently, it had to do with rascisms. The output of the gas stove hurts the poor and vibrant's cognitive ability. Sure. I think that's a chicken and egg … Continue reading Yeah…That’s a Big Fat Nope.

Damn near forgot
Today was my mom's birthday. She was a great lady. Her dad dying when she was three, her mom at ten, she grew up poor and worked her way up to being an RN, when she met my dad. She ruled the roost. If our family was a corporation, she was the CFO/COO. She was … Continue reading Damn near forgot
A Damn Shame
Adam Piggot closed off his comments, just like Vox Day did awhile ago. Why? Gamma sperging, that's why. Can't say as I blame him. There's a population on the web that you can tell has never taken a shot to the gob for mouthing off. They feel entitled to leave horrible comments on blogs and … Continue reading A Damn Shame
Truth
I've seen this floating around quite a bit: I can't argue with much of that. At the Tom Thumb I frequent, the carts can be found in these concrete holders in the parking lot. It's rare that one is loose in the wild. But the WalMart near me? Fuggeddaboutit. Carts everywhere. And just not in … Continue reading Truth
Friday Dog
Every morning after walking, the two dogs love to play. Aria will get into a mode where she fetches nonstop for 15 minutes or so. https://vimeo.com/786726174 I was at it for a good ten minutes before thinking to grab my phone to video. Normally she'll drop whatever she's chasing at my feet. When she's tuckering … Continue reading Friday Dog
Sign O’ the Tard
I can't believe anyone would be wearing a mask these days. But they are. I see them every day. In cars. In the store. Out on the sidewalk waiting for the bus. And it's not just oldsters. I've seen all types. And rarely, if ever, are they wearing an N95 mask, properly fitted. It's usually … Continue reading Sign O’ the Tard
When in Rome…
...do as the Romans. The new year is off to a rough start. I was off between Christmas and New Year's, and as tradition, I wasn't well for most of it. I had a flu like thing hit before Christmas, and it really hadn't gone away until a few days ago. Add to that the … Continue reading When in Rome…
Merry Christmas
We survived the last freeze of 2022. All two days of it. Christmas Eve it was well above freezing. Enough to take the dogs out for a walk. They took the time to relish every last leaf pile they came upon. They had a lot of sniffing to catch up on, having not had walks … Continue reading Merry Christmas
Deep Freeze 2022
It's bitter outside. It'll be 10 degrees tonight. That's not usual for December in DFW. Hell, it's not usual nearly anytime here, except recently it seems. That means work needs to be done to make sure there isn't misery over Christmas weekend. Cover plants, make sure hose faucets are covered, make sure the house is … Continue reading Deep Freeze 2022
Descent into Hell, Part 2
I thought my trip to the mall was bad, what came next was even worse. I was over helping my wife with the grandkids a week prior, and they all were sick. No matter, I generally don't get these things. Not a day later the missus was laid low by a godawful flu. At least … Continue reading Descent into Hell, Part 2
