It has been going on for months now as things have now escalated to the point Jo-Jo has warned us that war is “imminent.” No shit. Glad you know it. I don’t see he has much of a choice in the matter; I don’t think any president would have a choice placed in theContinue reading “You Can’t Say They Didn’t Warn Us”

I Was Just Talking About Payouts
…and the ho-hum nature of the cost of mankind’s destruction of our planet. Just another expense to be amortized. Who sets the number for Earth’s useful life? How about those whacky Dallas Cowboys and their antics in the women’s locker room for the cheerleaders? Payout. 2.4 million. That’s not even high school stuff, hell, IContinue reading “I Was Just Talking About Payouts”
Art Imitates Life
They finally did it. It feels like years since the Law and Order episode that showed the gun makers get sued. Except they won. They always won. They enjoyed the same kind of horseshit immunity from prosecution that cigarette makers did. Zoom forward to 2022. To recount the mass shootings in the world is toContinue reading “Art Imitates Life”
Happy Valentine’s Day
I got a call last night from someone who had taken an order for 2 dozen roses for me to deliver to my special girl yesterday and they said sorry but I was not in their delivery radius. I looked over to Karen and she knew already. Thirty-five years of marriage will do that toContinue reading “Happy Valentine’s Day”
Super Sunday
One of my fondest memories from living in England was staying for six months in a very old English manor house in Oxford when we first arrived. When you are in a military family, it was the moving that got to you after a while. Girlfriends, schools, countries; always changing. So when we arrived inContinue reading “Super Sunday”
Go You Reds!
I can’t help it. The one sports team that I will follow as often as I am able is the Manchester United Football Club. Ever since I watched Georgie Best, the mercurial striker for United beat Geoff Hurst and West Ham in 1967, I have been a loyal maniac for the lads whenever and whereverContinue reading “Go You Reds!”
Never a Good Thing
When the President tells Americans to leave a country, in this case Ukraine. It is not a small country, and with no one’s help, I think there are plenty of countries that could kick their ass, but JoJo seems to want to get his hands into everything before he finishes his one term in office.Continue reading “Never a Good Thing”
The Great Escape
I am sitting in a little bar on the west side of Tucson. It is called the Turquoise Turtle and my big brother and I were pounding down Cutty Sark scotch like it was water. After about three hours, we got into some sort of an argument. My bro has always maintained his physique andContinue reading “The Great Escape”
Scary
They say the International Space Station will fall from orbit soon. I know all the stories of how there are thousands of satellites falling out of the sky and how they burn up and do not make it to Earth. But what if?… Good news. People are actually starting to go back to work inContinue reading “Scary”
Knock Knock
I see where Minnesota is putting an end to no knock warrants. I always thought every warrant was a no-knock warrant. I did not know that police were required to announce themselves before entering. I found out one night in 1974 after I returned to my apartment in Winslow, Arizona, where I was on loanContinue reading “Knock Knock”
