Finally got a mask
My cousin Dana made these bitchin’ masks which come in handy because they’re now mandatory until further notice in Travis County and Austin proper. It gets the job done. How? Not just cutting back the spread of CV-19 but it … Continue reading

The GOP war on Education has been paying off as this sign in North Carolina proves.
This is going to be my quarantine flag
In light of the moronavirus breakout Saturday, this will be my counter-terrorism flag to the terrorist symbol I remember seeing even in Illinois and Wisconsin. I need a can of spray paint to cover it up whenever it is found as … Continue reading

America’s traditional deadline to make sure the IRS is paid or else they go after your paycheck…if you’re not stinking rich or a corporation hiding its profits in Delaware, the Cayman Islands and Switzerland. Thanks to the Pandemic, the due … Continue reading
My first new bike in 25 years
I was just getting too stir crazy and missing the gym so I went to Austin’s very nice Sun & Ski franchise to get a new bike. Years ago, I bought one for Somara but never followed up for me. … Continue reading

All our pets are wondering this by now…
My older cat Isis is in complete agreement, the younger cat Agamemnon probably thinks this is normal.
