Sixty, that rather unique blogger and friend of mine, has reminded me that I have been remiss in posting about the new theme change here at the site. Well, he’s right. I should have said something earlier but I figured that the folks who visit on a regular basis around here are already used to me ...

I’m an avid news reader and thanks to the WWW I’m not limited to mainstream media’s idea of what news items make money rather than reporting without bias. Even better than that is being able to read comments on those news articles that allow them which is rapidly becoming the rule rather than ...

It seems that while I’ve been dealing with the slings and arrows of outrageous illness, this third incarnation of my first blogging effort had it’s third birthday (anniversary?) without me. In other words, I’ve been doing-it-myself for 3 years now plus a handful of days. According to the archi...

Well, Mr. President, you've shown your hand quickly.  Without a lot of media coverage you signed this.   Why am I not surprised?  Shame on you.  Remember that big difference we had about the sanctity of life?  Sure you do.  The person typing this blog may not ...

This time, as usual, it was a combination of a flare up (disabilities, three each, the really bad one), a snow storm with all the wonderful cleaning up thereafter and the recovery period...

Blogging is dead! That’s right…it’s dead, gone, worthless to even consider starting your own blog and a complete waste of time if you already have one. Yes folks, blogging is completely passé, it’s just sooo 2004 or that’s what Paul Boutin of Wired News would have you believe when you rea...

We’re apologize for the interruption in service you might have experienced over the last 24 hour period. We try our best not to have these things happen but machines (and people) being what they are and all that. In this case, somebody dropped a can of used DB motor oil (with all sorts of thos...

Every year about this time, I think about this. There are dozens of boxes of old files and documents and stuff ready to be shredded at the end of the year. I think it would be more fun to burn them. In fact, I'd love to have a community bonfire to dispose of all this stuff.  A celebration in th...
