1972: First Leap Second added to UTC system
We must be getting better at this because I haven’t seen warnings at work about this happening in a some years. All our computers, phones, tablets, GPS systems and whatever need to know the exact time down to probably millionths of … Continue reading
Yes, while you…sit
Definitely puts new meaning in term garbage goal. On the other hand, it could be a more constructive use of potty time since we all know everyone is on their phone or tablet. I bet humans were reading on the … Continue reading
Seven thousand miles!
Last week I got past six weeks in time for exercise but the duration covers all kinds of exercise: indoor bike, outdoor bike, stair master and running on a treadmill. Today I have gone over 28% the circumference of the … Continue reading
Pabst Blue Ribbon, now in obnoxious Hipster cases!
How to transport that is beyond the imagination. Given how icky PBR has always been, that’s not a family pack, it’s a lifetime supply for a few generations.
An Austin-based friend returns!
Yesterday, I decided to give Jennifer some relief in helping out with her chauffeuring request from Cheyenne (her daughter who won’t/can’t drive, lacks a car). We headed up to the Round Rock Outlet Mall to kill an hour, waiting for … Continue reading
Mama cat London got adopted!
With all the negativity going around for the last several days, it’s great to post some good news I stumbled upon recently. Our foster kittens’ mama was adopted this week! London found a forever family to take her in. I … Continue reading
Well…SCOTUS has now reached peak irrelevance
It’s now official, the Minority Government in power hates women and poor people. This crap rationale of the most incredible verbal, philosophical yoga will be remembered when Amerikan Democracy went from dying to almost no pulse. I figured the country’s … Continue reading

Six weeks of exercise attained!
Let’s see. If we divided those six weeks by the number of days it took to hit this landmark over the last 12 years…I’m averaging around 14 1/2 minutes of exercise a day when ideally it should be 30. Yeah, … Continue reading
A call back to the “simpler days”
Namely that time when the GOP tried to overthrow the rightfully elected and re-elected POTUS for cheating on his wife which hadn’t happened in like…never. I would go out on a limb to say that the philanders are in the … Continue reading
As per Astronomy, Summer is “here!”
We already have had a one-month head start on the heat wave which also means Climate Change arrived years ago but it remains a fiction to the morons in charge with their legions of millions like my dead uncle and … Continue reading
Remember, Wall Street and NeoLiberals hate you
Chairman Powell is leading the charge to make sure Grampa’ Brunch will be a one-term POTUS after the Democrats get slaughtered this November, which will make the Bears’ only Super Bowl victory resemble a “mere dustup.” He and his shit … Continue reading
Double Move hits 500!
Again, not bad that this took almost seven years to achieve as I go through exercising in fits and starts; I did pull off my second day in a row with the hopes this could lead to another month streak!
Curtains with the help of Task Rabbit
One of the compromises I’ve had to work through with Jennifer involved my immense Chucks collection. Firstly, she wanted them removed from the master bedroom and a TV placed on that wall. I said absolutely not. There’s no other room … Continue reading
Paul McCartney is 80
Only recently had I given his advanced age much thought. Seems like only recently Alamo Drafthouse had their sing-along for his 64th birthday; 2006 and still at the original Fourth and Colorado location. Paul is doing much better than other … Continue reading
Bob Garfield hangs up his headphones
Damn! Just when I thought his podcast Bully Pulpit was picking up traction, Bob decided to throw in the towel because there weren’t enough paid subscribers and it’s hard to do something for free successfully in a universe with thousands of … Continue reading
