Mr Bs work takes him on the roads when everyone else is told to stay home.  So in the middle of Snowmaggedon, off he went–in a very capable vehicle with a full tank of fuel and extra in the back. Got within 3 miles of the goal and there he stayed for 14 hours.  Semi… Continue reading

Listening to the commercials from Illinoisistan.  The latest is putting ‘unbuckled’ drivers in the same sentence as ‘drunk’ drivers.  Interesting segue and apparently has been building since Thanksgiving.  Creeping enforcement for sure. Continue reading

Slept in, fed the birds, moved some snow.  Fire in the woodstove more than ample for the heating needs of the house.  Cats snoozing.  Watching what I had forgotten is probably the most good hearted movie, evah…  Galaxy Quest.  All I need is Mr B to get home from work and everything will be good.… Continue reading

Watching the morning roundup of propaganda and what the Obama media has decided is news and saw the section about the raising of the minimum wage to $15/hour in a part of Seattle.  The talking heads and their chosen pundits were discussing the possible effects of this ad nauseum.  Let me go out on a… Continue reading

I don’t know about you, but I thought this was funny as hell….  Via Firehand (glad you’re feeling better dude). Continue reading

Via Gateway Pundit: Read Wooten’s entire letter here: FB Friends, I’m still mulling this Paul Ryan budget deal that stole money from every military retiree (past, present and future). This morning, upon opening my email, I noticed I had a letter from Congressman Paul Ryan…and it was begging me for an “emergency end of the… Continue reading

Not this guy:  This Guy. Had a chance to meet up with Old NFO a few weeks ago–a short train ride and a few phone calls to connect (you mean there’s a bank on that corner–go figure?) was all it took.  A true Southern gentleman who can speak with knowledge on pretty much anything.  It… Continue reading

Via Roberta quiz link here: It actually wasn’t too far off.  I spent some formative years outside of Jackson, MS, and spent quite a bit of time in the St. Louis area.  I’ve only been through Springfield, MO but I’m guessing my Midwestern stint shows clearly.  I have lived all over the place but luckily… Continue reading

Yesterday I traveled to say ‘hi’ to family, but got back in time for Mr B‘s family’s Christmas Eve tradition, which has also become mine.  Fellowship and family and some wit from an unexpected source personified by Mr B’s niece’s young man.  I lobbed it up and he spiked it in.  Glorious! One thing I… Continue reading

I have been pondering the Robertson kerfuffle for the past few days.  I find it interesting that GLAAD has doubled down on stupid by insisting that Mr. Robertson sit down with gay Louisianans so he’ll then presumably understand the error of his ways and denounce his religion as intolerant (monkeys will fly out of my… Continue reading
