You can laugh at us all you want, but us hippies were right about a few things. Maybe we were a tad unrealistic, looking hopefully through rose-colored glasses at a world we were yet to see any developing flaws in. The drugs helped… Then time and reality caught up with us and the rest ofContinue reading “Kumbaya”

A Stitch in Time
Here today. Gone tomorrow. Once again, that dumbass “genius inventor” Elon Musk sends up a spaceship only to have it fall back to earth in failure (again!). And just like that (snap of fingers) he is no longer a trillionaire. He now only has hundreds of billions. Poor guy. Elaine Angene Escoe thought she couldContinue reading “A Stitch in Time”
Empty Thoughts
Twenty-six years old and it’s over. A hiker in Glacier National Park in Montana is dead after supposedly “following all protocols” to avoid a fatal bear attack, including emptying an entire can of bear-repellent spray before succumbing to the wild animal. As a human reflex, my heart always goes out to people when I hearContinue reading “Empty Thoughts”
Much Obliged
Now we find out who the “real” football fans in America are. Our overrated group of players gave it their best, but it sure didn’t look like it against Belgium. Instead of the team that was flying into the opponents’ box and getting opportunities, they played scared; more afraid to lose than showing any desireContinue reading “Much Obliged”
All the Same to Me
How’s that expression go about poking a bear? The official Black Lives Matter Instagram account has posted a video clip that appears to propose violence as a solution in response to the recent murder of a pizza worker in Charlotte, North Carolina. And she’s not even black. Do you think that wild animals being heldContinue reading “All the Same to Me”
Daydreams or Nightmares?
People dream of going to the Caribbean for beautiful beaches, unbelievable sunsets, and vacations of a lifetime. Or you could get murdered. The murder rate is going through the roof at holiday destinations in the Caribbean, yet it hasn’t seemed to slow the flow of tourists. Murder be damned, where’s the lazy river? Some dumbassContinue reading “Daydreams or Nightmares?”
Warning Signs
California has issued a warning to people to “stay out of the water” due to tides and dangerous rip currents. But if they are still alive, I would bet that a few of my old surf buddies are paddling out as we speak… That’s like driving all the way to Wally World only to findContinue reading “Warning Signs”
The Criminal Mindset
I have it. But to quote Tricky Dick: “I am not a crook!” (you know you put up two “peace” signs and said it like him). I am guilty of wanting the flash before substance, but I draw the line which is what real criminals don’t do. The quick buck. So risky, yet wrong onContinue reading “The Criminal Mindset”
The Rule of Law
Yet another idiot tourist in Yellowstone National Park thought he’d be cute and knowingly break a federal law by flying a drone in the park when it is plainly posted that this is illegal. But why post the possible fine and/or jail time if you are never going to utilize and enforce them? Six monthsContinue reading “The Rule of Law”
Brace Yourself
The Russian head of the Ministry of Oil has “fallen out of a window” (oops!) as have many people who found themselves in disfavor with none other than that little bald lawn gnome Putin. Oh yeah. He left a suicide note. Right. Talk about blowing my mind… France is placing a ban on smoking inContinue reading “Brace Yourself”
