  • Best sports commentor ever…

    This is actually a comedian named Sid Iyer doing voiceovers of different videos, but made me laugh. Continue reading

  • Well, she asked….

    I am kind of sad.  A friend of mine, a millennial, but wise for her years, asked me what I thought about the Roe v Wade brouhaha.  Now I could have parroted the party line or sugar coated what I thought (realizing she’s had fifteen more years of indoctrination that I did), but I did… Continue reading

  • Adding to the Blogroll

     Matthew W, long time commentor, has a blog ‘Bacon Time!!!!‘.  Check it out! Continue reading

  • No communion for Pelosi (finally)

    Not sure what got the Archbishop of San Francisco off his ass, but he is, at long last, denying Nancy Pelosi Holy Communion due to her advocating for abortion and wanting to spearhead a federal law to take the place of Roe v Wade. It might be that she went from following the law, to… Continue reading

  • Remember kids, safety first!

     So I burn a lot of candles.  I burn them safely–usually smaller candle holders put into larger ones to make sure things are contained.  The setup is put someplace where pets cannot get to it. Also, because I have seen a candle do a one-and-a-half gainer with a twist leaping right the hell out of… Continue reading

  • They've known for almost a decade that groomers were infiltrating schools

    So, as of May 13, 2022, 135 teachers and teachers aides have been charged with sex crimes against children.  74% of those crimes involved students. This only includes charges that went public.  Like VAERS, I’m betting there’s a whole lot of under-reporting going on.  This wasn’t isolated to one state or set of states either–teachers… Continue reading

  • One way to NOT start a trip

     On last week’s trip up north, everything started great.  But then food poisoning kicked in.  Not sure where I got it or what I ate, but my goodness.  I’m not going to go into any more detail than that.  Just glad the plane is long enough that I could sprawl in the back for a… Continue reading

  • Pictures from Traverse City and Travels

      Michigan City Lighthouse from above Real coffee vs. Cuban coffee.  The coffee, we were told, were delivered to the restaurant by bicycle from the Heavenly Coffee company.  Judging from the bread and the cinnamon rolls, they were delivered via unicorn and cherubs, respectively.  Amazing breakfast. Traverse Bay Cafe Islands as seen from the Grand… Continue reading

  • Learning the comms

     Now that we’re able to fly to places and actually do things, B is teaching me how to handle the comms and is walking me through readbacks once we’re up and cruising.   With a touch screen, it’s a lot easier for me to put in new frequencies and make the switch since I’m not also… Continue reading

  • Another school district jumps the shark

     A school district in Wisconsin is suing three middle school boys for sexual harassment for not using the they/their pronouns requested by another child under Title IX.   Sexual harassment is NOT calling someone by a plural pronoun–sexual harassment is when a person has power over another and demands sexual favors or touches inappropriately. I’m pretty… Continue reading
