  • TSA oversteps again…..

    Via Old Grouch, it seems that the TSA overstepped itself when it decided to search Amtrak passengers in Savannah, Georgia.  It seems that the Head Amtrak Police Chief, John O’Connor was unaware that the TSA would be setting up shop and that the TSA have/had no right to do what they did and was absolutely… Continue reading

  • For Borepatch and everyone

    Ever since Borepatch mentioned Grace in the comments of a previous post, Amazing Grace has been traveling in a loop through my head.  The best version I could find was Johnny Cash and his family (starts at 2:50 on the video).  But it was lovely to listen to June Carter Cash beforehand.  It seems that… Continue reading

    So, I went home for two funerals last week/this weekend.  North was also at the funeral of a close friend (my condolences again on his loss).  This is not the first time I’ve attended funerals or known of people (including two other family members) to pass within a three to four day period from March… Continue reading

  • Statistics challenge

    Don Wade and Roma had on Senator Jauch this morning.  He’s one of the Wisconsin senators that is presently residing in the state of Illinois to avoid having to do his job.  Something that struck me during the interview (and I tried and TRIED to get through) was that he claimed that his office is… Continue reading

    Love this from ‘Firefly’… Continue reading
