Carry on, another near miss and Michael Bay fodder
Can’t believe this hasn’t made the rounds via Social Media nor the headlines for news updates. As per the NPR story, the asteroid will pass tonight, missing the earth (and moon) by thousands of miles. I think NPR was on … Continue reading
How I wish Americans were just at least 1% more French!
Even in the US, it’s pretty hard to avoid the stories regarding the daily strikes and riots in the land of a thousand cheeses! Their worthless president, a younger version of Grampa’ Brunch, Obummer and Slick Willie, all rolled into … Continue reading
How Texas Republicans keep us safe
Plus the gun license is more valid for voting than a student ID or another state’s drivers’ license. They’re also the party spreading the myth of migrant workers sneaking into the country, renting houses in the ‘burbs and handing out … Continue reading

Marquette chokes in the second round, and that’s OK
Despite the Warriors being ranked number two in the East (not sure why not the Midwest which is where Milwaukee is), I was confident the number nine Michigan State Spartans had a solid chance of winning. This is the university … Continue reading
Republicans demonstrating their lack of shame March 2023
I love the GOP’s chutzpah on how they want to make sure any areas where they won’t win are disenfranchised. This bullshit move is their latest since we know what they’re really thinking…college students won’t vote for us because educated non-Republicans … Continue reading
Good gravy! COVID-19 is still around in other ways
I still got off light compared to the one million (and counting) dead around the world. But damn, it’s pretty embarrassing over how easily I am winded just walking from my car in the parking lot to my cubicle at … Continue reading
Dilbert had overstayed its welcome anyway
I wonder if Scott Adams will go on to be textbook a case of someone getting sucked into the Right-Wing idiocy, e.g. the Q-Anon craziness? Of course, I have no recollection or knowledge of his viewpoints back in the Nineties … Continue reading
COVID-19 is over and its aftermath
Finally tested negative by mid-week but then COVID-19 appeared to leave me a gift, as it seems to do to people over 40 or is it 50? I had been experiencing chest pains on my left side near the end. … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 15, light at the end of the tunnel, I think
Maybe there is a divine power, laughing it up at me. Nah! Personally it’s more like actual proof there isn’t, especially a benevolent one as per numerous human-based mythos. Now that I think about it, it is cool I can’t … Continue reading
It arrived early but within the range promised!
Woo hoo! Some good news while I’m sick! My first passport in 20 years! I promise this one will get used but first, I need to put it away in my safety deposit box along with a couple other important … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 14, long covid?
Well…it beats death, given all the things I would like to do within the next decade or longer. The part that really sucks, I’ve used up all the tests I get via insurance so what follows is coming out of … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 13, is this an omen of bad luck?
Another weekend cooped up in the house. Not entirely, I still go to the mailbox and have had to drive to Walgreen’s. I’m being a good citizen though. Whenever I come within a couple meters (or less) of a human … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 12, going into the second weekend
On the upside, Jennifer remains “negative” on any test she is given but I don’t recall if her current employer even bothers. As always, the news from China is close to zero as the correspondents who work the beat said … Continue reading
COVID-19 Day 11, I’ve lost track what follows
Now I had to get test kits out of my own pocket. However, I remain a fan of Science and as much as I wanted the results I prefer, no dice. Let’s see tomorrow.
COVID-19 Day 10, quintuple ugh!
Now my situation is transforming into the joke segment Don’t from the ambitious but sadly a flop…Grindhouse. Currently we’re at the part where the phrase is wearing on all our nerves. I just don’t know if we’ll ever return to the … Continue reading
