Pray for Phil

Busted Knuckles Phil is headed into surgery in a few hours, hopefully to correct some issues he's long suffered with. Pray all goes well. I'm about his age. It's sad to see a dude like me suffer. Doesn't seem fair after working hard your whole life, does it. I'll be dedicating my morning prayers to … Continue reading Pray for Phil →

Hate to Tell You…

Every so often I check in on NextDoor. And every time I do, it's the same thing: Lost my dog, lost my cat. Found a dog, found a cat. They look like this: or this: Hate to tell these folks this, but...He dead. Both these neighborhoods are surrounded by rural and parkland. There are hawks, … Continue reading Hate to Tell You… →

Done Tom Turkey

I've been in network security in a past life. There's a balance between complexity (such as passwords) and irritation (like auto locking the desktop). Crank down too hard, and humans start thwarting your efforts. For instance, make the password parameters too tough, and your workers will write it on a sticky, or under their keyboard. … Continue reading Done Tom Turkey →

Upping My Game

IPhones have great cameras these days. But I find that when I want to catch a good shot, I run into their limitations. For instance, if you zoom in, the resolution suffers. This is sort of a big deal, since when I try to take images of the dogs, or even birds around here, they … Continue reading Upping My Game →

Let Papa Fix It

There was an episode of Duck Commander where Jase found a Nutria along the road, roadkilt. Apparently Louisiana will pay for proof of dead Nutrias. You simply have to present the tail as evidence. So he cut it off and brought it it. Needless to say, it was ripe. But he said "I'm not to … Continue reading Let Papa Fix It →

Screwed Again

This appeared in my inbox: I got the Skype bailout email a week ago or so and promptly cancelled my account. It's a shame. I had a Skype number and would use it to make calls from my desktop. It's nice to have another number when you call businesses so that you don't get pestered … Continue reading Screwed Again →

Everything’s Bigger in Texas

Yup. Our idiots are bigger idiots than yours. Our ignorant loudmouths are are dumber and louder than yours. Behold: Al Green, moron, having a fit about God knows what at the speech the other night. Jasmin Crockett (Idiot-Dallas). Just when you thought AOC and the squad couldn't be beat, look who wins election. We've always … Continue reading Everything’s Bigger in Texas →
