I took yesterday and today off. Had great plans. First off was to get out on the hotrod and straighten some roads. But I made the mistake of turning on my work laptop to see if they had shipped my new machine. Turns out they did. It was due before 1pm. No problem. FedEx usually … Continue reading Best Laid Plans

End of an Era
Looks like gun free zone is closing its doors. A line was crossed. This is a shame because it's one of my daily reads. Or rather, daily scans. When I first found it, it was really good. A lot of good advice on guns and shooting, good perspectives on the news, that sort of thing. … Continue reading End of an Era
True Dat – MeToo
Found this on Phil's site awhile back: I'm with him. Some of the roads here are atrocious. I have actually hit Chuckholes around here locally that launched me clear of the seat and pounded my head on the roof of my truck. Because it’s an Old School 3/4 ton 4wd, it rides like an old … Continue reading True Dat – MeToo
The Old Women on the Corner
There were two older women neighbors when I moved in here. The first one, across the street from me, has her house facing the cross street. She had a cool Shepherd, a recycled military dog that she adopted. She told me how to go about it, but the list was too long. I've only had … Continue reading The Old Women on the Corner
REEEEEEEE!
I was in a teams meeting last week going over a new (to us) learning platform. During the whole thing (which was an overview and hard sell), I was wondering just who was behind this. We have a methodology, we have authoring tools, we have a portal of sorts and are planning migration to a … Continue reading REEEEEEEE!
Day of the Long Knives
My company had some days of the long knives this week. Fortunately, my boss told our group they were coming, and also that we probably wouldn't take a hit. Having little attention span for such things, I promptly forgot until I saw the first of my friends send a goodbye email. Then we had a … Continue reading Day of the Long Knives
Welcome to Planet Real World
We're having a bit of a Tech meltdown. I've seen this one before. Got the t-shirt. Been my third, at least. What's different about this one is the sheer number of spoiled tech workers. I've seen videos from Twitter and Google employees. This is the latest one I've seen: https://youtu.be/7sGBLFi_WCI The Twitter one was nearly … Continue reading Welcome to Planet Real World
End of an Era
Pat Buchanan hung up his keyboard. The man had a sense of clarity that few have today. I've spent the last 30 years or so reading his columns and books. Some books were epic - like his tome on WW2, which at the end explained how entangling alliances caused us no end of misery. Entangling … Continue reading End of an Era
Not Good
It's been sunny and nice the last few days. So I've had time to size up the estate here. I'm thinking my olive trees took a beating in the little cold snap we had a few weeks ago. I covered them with heavy canvas, piled leaves around them, and put a heating pad at their … Continue reading Not Good
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
