Texas gubmint decides to murder the poor for Kapitalism
The animation from The Simpsons is a pretty accurate representation of how fucking dumb and willfully ignorant the Texas government, namely the executive branch, is. It’s also spot-on impression of this douchenozzle we have named Sid Miller, he’s the Agricultural Commissioner. … Continue reading

Possible ray of hope, if it’s true. Dec. 2020 edition
Jennifer alerted me to this article last night when we were talking. Oddly it wasn’t in the regular news feeds I follow but the Austin American-Statesman is about a C+ on the reliability scale in my experience. The local excuse for … Continue reading
Mystery mall birds figured out
If you ever go to the strip mall with Terra Toys, Dragon’s Lair, Precision Camera and Conan’s Pizza, you’ll find the exteriors peppered with these really well-made nests with plenty of bird crap on the ground nearby. I knew they … Continue reading

Life with cats, Feb. 6, 2020 edition
Now with two cats in my house (update on “Sean Connery” will be coming), I get double the showings, ugh. Thanks to my new friend Debbie for this gag which probably has been around for a while, I just tend to … Continue reading

Raven (maybe) using the building acoustics to warn others?
Heard this weird cawing on my way into the gym. Thankfully, I got a repeat instead of the bird clamming up like animals often do when they know they’re being recorded!

Another bird collides into my car in one year
I have no idea why it happened either time. Maybe birds have a thing against the Prius. Maybe birds have a thing against me. No, Tippi Hedren wasn’t my passenger. Yet again another made a kamikaze-like dive into my car. … Continue reading

La Roche-Posay My Skin Track UV Sensor
Firstly, as I’ve had to tell some strangers…this is not a camera! Walking around with a disguised camera without warning people is a dick move. Why do you think those other people were nicknamed Glassholes. This is a cool little … Continue reading

Cats “know” their name
There are more details of the study through this link but the short version is that cats probably don’t “know” the sounds coming from our mouths are their name, it’s an association they’re making of us wanting their attention. Dogs … Continue reading
Annual stupidity begins, aka DST
When I was a kid, I didn’t mind Daylight Savings Time as much. It didn’t start until April and in the Midwest its arrival meant that Spring was here to stay…usually. The original purpose for DST in the Modern Era … Continue reading

1809: Charles Darwin & Abraham Lincoln born
As Emo Philips has a joke: Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln have the same birthday which is fitting because they’re the two biggest enemies of the South. Being an American living in any region, even abroad, it is a painfully … Continue reading

Three Identical Strangers: Worth Seeing
This was my free movie from Alamo Drafthouse for 2018. It was worth the drive down to the South Lamar location. Anybody over forty-ish may remember the core story about these guys since they were all over the talk-show circuit in … Continue reading

First Soylent week conclusion, moving on to second
My first week with Soylent has ended in a mixed way. Due to the Moontower Comedy Fest, I fell off the wagon a little and I also rewarded myself for a solid week of exercising by having a Texas Burger … Continue reading

Soylent week update, yet still progressing
After some discussion and clarification with Somara, I got talked out of drinking Soylent for every meal because she said it only substitutes for one or two of the three per day we tend to eat; I usually don’t do … Continue reading

The future of food, part four: a week of Soylent
I’ve gone over three alternatives, sampled them, mixed them with other stuff to make them more “edible,” and now comes a quick test of a short-term result. This week, I’m going to “eat” nothing but Soylent for lunch and dinner. … Continue reading
