I got a notice from the groomers that Winston's shots were expiring. Hmm. I seem to remember adopting him in the fall, and his vet dates matched the fall. I was figuring on bringing him with Aria, when she's due in October. Nope. His shots were in the end of April, when he was found. … Continue reading Winston Visits the Vet

I miss the big guy. Notice the totally unconcerned look. He had jaws like a vice. No one was getting that ball unless he wanted them to have it.
Gone South
Real south. Visiting Reynosa Mexico with New Woman. Had to stop by Chip & Joanna’s Magnolia empire on the way. The rain quit before Austin, she took the wheel at San Antonio. Long day it was. Time to get horizontal.
Mitigated Speech
Awa over at GunFree Zone had an interesting piece on communication. It comes about when somebody uses language that is designed to not offend, rather than to say things clearly. Awa Oh man, have I seen this. Today, my wife got a long text message from her friend. My wife was accused of being a … Continue reading Mitigated Speech

There really isn't anything like walking in the mountains or woods when there's a hint of frost. Summer in the DC area is miserable and hot so the … Continue reading Spring has Sprung
Unspeakable Horror
Talk about appropriation: https://youtu.be/x9XHMK3nWr4?si=veea5Rscpel2YrQ5 I saw the hype about this horrible remake and dismissed it. Fact of the matter, Beyonce doesn't have the voice for country. Wrong tenor, timbre, accent, and cadence. Wrong culture. I stumbled on some criticism at American Thinker. It is a truth universally acknowledged that all sane and decent people like, … Continue reading Unspeakable Horror

Damn grass is out of control.
Old Man Rambling Thoughts
Man, oh man, it's been a busy week. But I finished the course I was working on forever. I upgraded the lab VM and it appears to work. Time will tell. That is one huge monkey off my back, that's been smashing my skull since the end of January. The weather has been awesome here. … Continue reading Old Man Rambling Thoughts
