  • Big Surprise–Chicago is the world's rattiest city

     So says Orkin.  I don’t think they took Chicago administration and Cook County government into account either.  If they did, then Chicago would also be the most cockroach infested. Continue reading

  • More evidence that masks don't work

    The aptly named Dr Box, the gynecologist that is the head of the Indiana Dept of Health has tested positive for the ‘Rona.  Her family, the governor, and some of her staff are now testing vigorously and are quarantining.  It was hilarious to watch the weekly update of everyone in empty rooms wearing masks. The… Continue reading

  • 88's

     So 88 faculty at Notre Dame have written an open letter to Amy Coney Barrett asking her to put her hearing on hold until after the election.  Mind you, none of the signatories actually work with her. Interestingly enough, the letter from the present 88 mirrors in essence the rhetoric of the original 88 from… Continue reading

  • The Art of Hospitality

    The Art of Hospitality is alive and well in Texas.  Finding my WonderTwin and sister I didn’t know I had, fine dining–both home-cooked and other, conversation on a level that brings on my A game, and someone willing to eat ghost pepper hamburgers with me (next trip and as long as we have pecan cobbler… Continue reading

  • Hide 'n' Seek

    Chas at Hardscrabble Creek has an interesting post up about Bigfoot.  Worth a read, like just about all of his stuff. Continue reading
