Today’s post title and accompanying bag photo is obscure, so I’d better explain it. Here’s what it says on the bag: Motorcycle Accident – m4w – 27 (Kings Hwy) [date/time] Reply to This Post I was on a motorcycle and we got into an accident this morning. I think you are really cute and I’m sorry […]
Last week a few friends and some lefty bloggers I follow fell for a bogus article about Rush Limbaugh calling soldiers welfare queens who’ve gotten used to having everything handed to them. Hey, I fell for it too, because I’ve said again and again that at some point the Orcs* are going to turn against […]
One of the things I strive to do is to keep calm and carry on. But oh, it’s hard, with all the stupidity and racism loose in the land. And I can’t decide which is the chicken and which is the egg, stupidity or racism. Maybe they’re the same thing. When racists went after Obama […]
At last, my face is getting back to normal. The dermatologist removed a small basal cell skin cancer from my forehead Monday.

I’ve been delighted with Goodreads, a large, active community of readers, writers, and reviewers, and to date […]

If you don’t know the difference between shotguns and rifles, or think 9mm Rugers look like 9mm Glocks, you’re not qualified to have an opinion on guns and mass shootings, therefore let us shut down all talk of background checks, therefore everyone should carry, therefore good men with guns should go forth and shoot all the bad men with guns, therefore Thunderdome!
Today’s domestic project was to flush out the water heater. Until a year ago I didn’t know this was something I was supposed to do, but our plumber set us straight and now it’s on the annual to-do list. Why is it important? Because sediment from hard water builds up inside, makes it inefficient, and […]
