What the hell? Every two weeks or so, I take the dogs down to the local Pet Supplies Plus store to give the pups a bath, leaving them with the mess. It's OK, they say so in their ads. I buy a multi-wash card and have at it. The dogs know the phrase "Bath Time". … Continue reading Friday Dog Pic

Friday Dog Pic. And Shoot Me.
First the fun pic... What a week. What a day. I've been super busy this week. Having a week off does that, as does having a week off next week. I'm burning PTO. Use it or lose it, doncha know. This morning all hell was breaking loose. I'm used to the normal morning sounds of … Continue reading Friday Dog Pic. And Shoot Me.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Today's the day we count our blessings. And I have many. Starting with my beautiful wife, and great kids and grandkids. I'm also thankful for God giving me an amazing mind that can think abstractly effortlessly. Honestly, I'm not bragging. I had a boss tell me once that he was sick of me bringing up … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!

Pay Your Fair Share!
They pumped old Uncle Joe full of adderall the other day, and stuffed him in front of the tele-prompter which told him to tell us that we need to pay our fair share, enough is enough. He used the same tone of voice he summoned to tell us he was out of patience with our … Continue reading Pay Your Fair Share!

Look how seamlessly they pass leads back and forth. The older voice of Steve Winwood makes the song even better than it was back in the day. It's … Continue reading Sunday Music
Like the Weather
Man oh Man, it's been rainy here like Seattle. https://youtu.be/gm0ZWbMhWrE I saw her sing this live long ago. Weird chick. Cool voice. Cool stage presence. I'm a nut about songs that resonate with me. I go to Ultimate-guitar.com and learn how to play them. This one is fun to play. "What a cold and a … Continue reading Like the Weather
That Time of Year Again…
And this time, it was more painful and expensive than usual. Every year you have to renew the tags on your car, which involves an inspection. Herself's car is due in May, and look at the date - it's the eleventh hour again. For those uninitiated, you don't go to the DMV in Texas for … Continue reading That Time of Year Again…
Get the Squirrel!
I have a persimmon tree in my back yard. It was here when I bought the place. It grows like a weed and you need to cut it back every year. I don't always. This year I cut it back severely. Last fall I had persimmons 30 feet up that I couldn't get to. So … Continue reading Get the Squirrel!
Defensive Driving?
How about no driving? or can't drive worth a damn? Eric Peters has a great article on "Defensive Driving". But it's really about the lost art of driving properly. This hit a nerve with me, since I spent the lions share of my career travelling around. I've driven 20K-30K miles in some years. I was … Continue reading Defensive Driving?
