It’s all stuff
It’s warmer this morning, but the wind’s blowing like crazy. Despite my lingering cold, I was going to hop on my mountain bike and scout out the Hash House Harrier trail I promised to set this Sunday, but I think I’ll put that adventure off until the gusts die down to tropical storm strength.

I haven’t been keeping up with the news, what with company and road trips and the standard family competition for the TV at night, so yesterday, after our company left and things were quiet again, I called up Mediaite. Foolish me. The first ten entries all had to do with Herman Cain. Like a prude […]

So insanely jealous that I actually got on my bicycle this morning and rode 8.5 miles. A few months ago, before the summer heat descended upon Tucson, I’d been riding two to three […]

President Obama’s going to deliver a speech about jobs tonight. I’m done with speeches and probably won’t watch. Obama’s not getting anything through this congress, so what’s the point? Given his past behavior, I think he’s going to make a rousing speech, then cave to the Republicans and give away the store. The only jobs […]
The camera in my cell phone, the one that always takes such blurry photos, has given up the ghost. Well, not entirely … if you take the back of the phone off, remove the battery, then remove and reinsert the SIM card, it’ll take one or two photos before failing again. Using a cell phone […]
