What’s Worse?

I was chatting with my sister the other day, catching up, and she said something funny that resonated. "At least you've been through the worst, cancer. I said cancer wasn't the worst thing, For me, divorce was far, far worse. Cancer I was diagnosed with throat cancer. When that happened, all sorts of wheels started … Continue reading What’s Worse? →

Thoughts & Prayers

So this sort of bullshit is starting to fly. This, posted by a supposedly devout Catholic, no less.; My thoughts, which I replied: Thoughts and prayers aren't meant to keep shooters out of schools or demented geezers from power. They are meant to comfort, console, and heal the families of the victims killed and wounded … Continue reading Thoughts & Prayers →

My Junk Empire

Got a kick out of this when I ran across it the other day: Mine used to be similar. I read a piece sometime ago that Millenials, and even many Gen-X had no interest in their parents and grandparents crap since they prefer to live more simply. So there were problems finding homes for Ma's … Continue reading My Junk Empire →

Thou Art Dust…

And unto dust you shall return. Zman dying suddenly got me pondering. Dude wasn't even 60. If I recall from his podcasts, I think he was like 58. I'll be 63 in a few months. I remember sitting on my Dad's patio chatting. He said his dad (My grandfather) and his father (great grandfather) died … Continue reading Thou Art Dust… →

Singing the Narrative

U2 lead singer Bono was on Rogan the other day spouting nonsense. It's been all over the place, and what he was saying was bullshit, clear and simple. I'm about halfway through the interview, but I'm finding it tedious. But I did hear the part where he claimed 300K have died because USAID was cut, … Continue reading Singing the Narrative →

Mowed on the Edge of the Sword

Friend of mine was let go this week. Mowed down on edge of a sword with a hundred others or so. One of my coworkers got it a few weeks ago. Business Optimization, don'cha know. People have to be 'exited'. He's bummed out, of course. Who wouldn't be? at best, it's a horrible inconvenience. At … Continue reading Mowed on the Edge of the Sword →

Here We Go Again

I stumbled upon this on PJW's Channel: https://youtu.be/zBYgISZbNso?si=QqNCLpgC2xxMD34N I'll give you a summary: She's considering divorcing her husband, who she's known for 20 years, because he doesn't do his fair share of household chores, like taking the trash out. She has to tell him. If he forgets, she badgers him. For instance, one day he … Continue reading Here We Go Again →

They’re at it again.

Found over at Filthie's place - Harley's new effort. Ya gotta feel bad for the guys at Harley Davidson. The Japs build a better Harley than they do and can put it on the market at - at least 30 - 35 points less. Harley’s been hijacked at several points in their company history by … Continue reading They’re at it again. →

Whatever…There are Consequences.

There were a couple of great lines from a book by Robert Fulghum that I've been trying to find for quite some time. Now that I'm done unpacking boxes, I finally found the book which is called "It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It". It's from a story that he wrote where … Continue reading Whatever…There are Consequences. →

Election Day

Whelp...it's election day. I may tool by some of the polling places to size things up. I've already voted, as I'll guess much of North Texas. Who knows what'll happen. I'm expecting my theory to hold, to wit; The Stiff Never Wins. In this case, that would be Harris, who screams ex-wife to anyone that … Continue reading Election Day →
