We have a corporate Yammer site. For those that don't have the pleasure, it's like a facebook for internal corporate employees. There are pages for pets, cooking, careers, and each department has a page, usually. I don't spend much time on it. I'll post dog pics. Sometimes a recipe. Just trying to fit in here. … Continue reading Covid Silliness

The Stupid…It Burns
This month is black history month. I plum forgot. Then again, I guess I would. Right on queue, we have another fresh attempt to ban all books containing hurty words found on school reading lists. "To Kill a Mockingbird" was the one I heard about this morning. Apparently killing this book is a perpetual effort. … Continue reading The Stupid…It Burns
Tough Times A ‘Comin’..
Us humans have trouble with long cycles and thinking abstractly. We often miss things because our attention span doesn't hold long enough, or we don't have the ability to retain 'dot' we've seen and then connect them later. Things that are happening now have a huge impact on what life will be like by the … Continue reading Tough Times A ‘Comin’..
Wintry Mix
Well they are calling for a "wintry mix" tonight. Tomorrow, we'll wake up to ice and frigid temps. Nearly to the week when it happened last year. Only we're supposed to only get a few days, then back to regular winter here in DFW. I came from up north over 20 years ago, but I'm … Continue reading Wintry Mix
Tales from Captivity
Got an early copy of "Tales from Captivity" to do a final proof and review (that I promised), blew through 3/4 in the first night, made notes, then promptly was overcome by events and forgot about it until it came out. Doing the lords work, I am. I guess. This is a collection of short … Continue reading Tales from Captivity
WTF….Over…
I got this the other night. Wut? I've never gotten a chat from any Amazon driver, ever. And to address the question at hand here, hell yeah I want my stuff, blockhead, I paid for it. The video feed just shows the doofus plop the box on my porch and take a picture of it. … Continue reading WTF….Over…
Wood, Iron, & Blood
It's been awhile since I've done any sort of book review. I've read a bunch, but never get around to saying anything about them. Wood, Iron, and Blood, written by Peter Grant (of Bayou Renaissance Man) is a great story, well told, about a guy, Harry, a former navy vet that lost his wife and … Continue reading Wood, Iron, & Blood

h/t evan-lambert A Mormon was seated next to an Irishman on a flight from London to the US. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The Irishman asked for a whiskey, which was promptly brought and placed before him. The flight attendant then asked the Mormon if he would like a drink. He … Continue reading Friday Funnies
News Flash: Inflation Isn’t an Asset
Joey WaffleCone didn't have his teleprompter to tell him what to say the other day so he said this: https://youtu.be/qcU5YhloPQg The money quote is at 34 seconds. "That's an asset, more inflation. What a stupid sonofabitch" First, he looks weird. Stoned. I'm wondering if adderall is doing the job these days. He looks like a … Continue reading News Flash: Inflation Isn’t an Asset
