An Observation ...after a week of footage from last Saturday's No Kings march The irony of the second No Kings rally, one that garnered repeated commentary from the Trump apologists, was that this was a gathering of old white people. Angry old white people. Boomers. The images bore that up. Grey pates as far as… Continue reading The Daily: 25 October 25
Apologies and Addenda I was working on today's post in two different places and somehow forgot to put them together before I went to bed last night. Woke up this morning with a serious case of "Oh crap!" Then I furiously cobbled it all together into one essay. But there were hours between the accidental… Continue reading The Daily: 8 May 2025
It's been a week... And I am trying to figure out how to use WordPress in its "new and improved" format. So here are some photos to make you happy.

I spent too many hours last week at work with the flu. My weekend, Monday & Tuesday, was spent more or less asleep. So I have nothing written. Apologies. Next week will be better. Cheers!
Just when I think I've got things under control... First, we had a major shuffle at work. Upshot is I've got more hours and a new schedule to figure out. I am the manager of plants now, no staff... except one cat. So there's that. Then I found out that one can not park one's… Continue reading A Forced Hiatus
Beginning today, I'm going to have to pull back from even aspiring for five posts a week. I know you've noticed that I've not been hitting that mark very often of late. This is the official notice that I have to stop even trying. It's not good for me. I wouldn't call it burn-out. I… Continue reading Dialing Back
