Is that it?

We girded our loins here in DFW for another big ice storm. The "wint'ry" mix was supposed to start last night. Really didn't. Although it got cold. Not as bad as last time by any measure. I woke up to basically a frozen mist. When I let the dogs out, I realized the driveway was … Continue reading Is that it? →

Newton’s Third Law

I was going to post about Trudeau, our newest little corporal, going full dictator and declaring emergency powers - Just like the emperor in Star Wars. Only he didn't specify that he'd return them when the emergency was over. Their parliament was only too happy to back him up. How sad is that? There's a … Continue reading Newton’s Third Law →

What's there is a country that is going to have it's ox gored by a new pipeline serving Europe, who is only … Continue reading Hearts and Minds →

Dropping Ballast

I saw a cool post on Wilder: https://wilderwealthywise.com/human-chow-its-whats-for-dinner/ Couple things resonated with me - processed food expressed as "pre-digested" this is why you get that immediate carb rush with nearly all processed foods. Interestingly he tells of a study where they powdered the rat chow, and even given the same amounts of calories, the rats … Continue reading Dropping Ballast →

P.J. O’Rourke, Dead at 74

P.J. O'Rourke pulled the croak chain this week. He was 74, and died of lung cancer. By my count, this was his second battle with Cancer, having ass cancer once before. I didn't make that up. He wrote about it. That was a funny piece, I tell you what. Of course, as they lionize him … Continue reading P.J. O’Rourke, Dead at 74 →

Superbowl of Suck

I'm not a sportsball fan. I can watch it. I understand it. I can talk about it. It's just not something that I care to invest any time or emotion whatsoever. I do watch the playoffs and superbowl, but in general, I have far better things to do with my time than gawp at the … Continue reading Superbowl of Suck →

Sunday Sermon

This is a sermon by an orthodox Abbot, Fr. Tryphon. I've never heard a Catholic priest speak with such clarity. At least not in the last 20 years or so. Probably longer. I find myself reading Orthodox literature more and more, especially writings from Seraphim Rose. I'm re-reading a few as I write and will … Continue reading Sunday Sermon →
