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 Way of the World
She wanted to be famous. Now ol’ what’s-her-name from Tempe, Arizona (my old stomping grounds) is pushing up cacti. Dead in her teens. Thanks once again goes to TikTok. In this corner, weighing (according to himself) a svelte 180 pounds of all muscle, is the president of the United States. In this corner, outweighed byContinue reading “The Way of the World”
Tennessee
I have a great affinity for the state, as I spent a summer in Lebanon, just forty miles west of Nashville, training to be a Cracker Barrel manager. I fell in love with the miles of greenery, very unlike Phoenix, Arizona where I joined the company. Great golf and awesome fishing are two takeaways fromContinue reading “Tennessee”
Grab Your Ankles
Showing they are indeed the Beverly Hillbillies of the world, those wacky French want to swim in the sewer that is, and always has been since the French Industrial Revolution, the Seine River.

Hear Me Now
Believe me later. My paean to Hanz and Franz and the Saturday Night Live’s fiftieth anniversary. I’m not one of those old fuddy-duddies who dwell in the past and say that the first few seasons of SNL had the best and funniest ensemble casts ever (although they did). I mean, there have been funny peopleContinue reading “Hear Me Now”
Welcome to America
Now go home. Now it is Native Americans who fear getting caught in the new aggressive ICE policies. That’s right; the people that were originally here, and whose land we stole, are worried about being thrown out of their stolen country. They should be. It’s not gonna end there; once the criminal and unsavory areContinue reading “Welcome to America”
God Was Listening
When he heard that the western United States, especially California, was drying up. Like a dog with six teats for eight puppies, there was something about too much consumption and a dwindling supply. The Colorado River, so vital to the water supply for California is shrinking. Not just there. Lake Meade, a place I drankContinue reading “God Was Listening”
