Who doesn't like a cute dog? Jasper After a walk and playtime in the morning, the pups find their happy, private places to chill. The two dudes tend to hang together. So what you can't see is Jethro sprawled, literally, halfway across the room on the floor below. What I didn't notice at the time … Continue reading Cute Dog Pic

What Customer Service?
I loathe having to call doctors or companies for nearly any reason. If I can't find it or do it on the web, I'm already frustrated. Doesn't take much for the angry to come out. I'm in the middle of trying to get an appointment for a follow up. And the only reason I'm doing … Continue reading What Customer Service?
A Good Walk
We were away visiting family this weekend, leaving the dogs with my son's friend house/dog sitting. This is infinitely preferable to boarding them. It's vastly cheaper, by several orders of magnitude and it's better for them as they don't have to vary their routine all that much. It also helps that he's been added to … Continue reading A Good Walk

An oldie... https://youtu.be/mTqTE7aNjZQ Sure. Lip Syncing no doubt. https://youtu.be/vOQGNzCq0l0 Old dude making it happen. They couldn't dream of lyrics like this today: There's a port on a western bayAnd it serves a hundred ships a dayLonely sailors pass the time awayAnd talk about their homesAnd there's a girl in this harbor townAnd she works layin' … Continue reading Sunday Music
Yet Another Outrage
It's been a busy, busy week here at the bunker. In addition to having to do real work that pays me, I have to prepare for a weekend away. The house is a disaster after this week's rain, and I had to give three monster dogs their baths. It's a bit of work, but they … Continue reading Yet Another Outrage
Gonna be a Long Day…
It's raining today. Not the gully washer storms that happen in the spring and summer. The drizzle and rain of North Texas in the fall/winter. And I'm dealing with three big dogs that are mostly inside, when they'd be outside letting off steam. Think of 5 year old boys, stuffed with candy, only with teeth … Continue reading Gonna be a Long Day…

One of his best songs... https://youtu.be/M1p9pkIPoCE I prefer the guitar as the lead. But, what can you do? Best I could find. The song tells a story few could articulate these days. I remember standing on the corner at midnightTrying to get my courage upThere was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtownI … Continue reading Sunday Music
A Visit to the Vet
I love my dogs. Anyone that reads this blog knows that. But they are pricey. They have to go to their doctor every year, and that ain't covered. Sorry, It's cash on the barrel head for that service, Mein Freundes. Wut? A vet visit? Aria is a rescue. Her mom was adopted by a family … Continue reading A Visit to the Vet
Class of ’96
I recently had a post on The Fourth Turning. Let me tell you why this concept resonates with me. It's because I've seen it in action. There's a term I used to use for the cohort that's in power now. Not the geezers pulling the strings, but the feet on the street true believers. The … Continue reading Class of ’96

Yesterday, Vox Day had a piece on the bloodletting at the Chicago Tribune. The media hasn’t been so much indifferent as sneeringly amused by the complaints of American workers whose jobs have been eliminated by the financial rapine of Wall Street under a false flag of creative destruction. But they aren’t sneering or laughing anymore … Continue reading Learn to Code
