It’s a beautiful sunny day here in southern Ohio but the forecast for tomorrow is snow. Just thirteen miles north, the City of Dayton has announced there will be intermittent closures of several of their roads. If you live near Dayton, you know it is more feasible to announce that there are intermittent openings. TheContinue reading “The Way I See It”

Relax
The point spread for the college football national championship game between the infidels from Ohio State vs. God’s chosen gladiators of the gridiron, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, has been posted. You can tell I’m impartial. Nine and a half points. So all the gambling “experts” have stated that the Buckeyes will easily defeat theContinue reading “Relax”
Stealing
There are all sorts of crimes and taking something that is not yours is the absolute lowest. I have more respect for a murderer than a thief. Now before you get all puffed up and froggy, I recognize the difference between ill-gotten gain and a necessity to survive for those desperate enough to try andContinue reading “Stealing”
Back in the Saddle
Sort of. I went from enjoying the beautiful southern Ohio summer to tubes, injections and a five-day hospital stay that seemed much longer. I am currently on home care with a nurse and IV antibiotics which I must administer daily. It is a colossal pain-in-the-ass but the alternative will necessitate the use of the surgicalContinue reading “Back in the Saddle”
Freedom of Speech
The first amendment and all that. I have been banned from Facebook because of a story I previously published here on this blog. It was excerpted from my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! Talk about small-minded. I tried to explain to the “Appeal Board” that my words were a creative work of fiction, butContinue reading “Freedom of Speech”
This story got me Banned from Facebook!
I think of myself as a pretty reasonable person, but yesterday I was notified that a recent story I posted on Facebook had resulted in several bad comments and just like that, Maddogg’s fb voice was silenced. My response to the “support” team was: “It’s a story. Fiction.” Evidently, my succinct response resulted in myContinue reading “This story got me Banned from Facebook!”
An End to the Madness
The worst-ever season in their Premier League history. Overpaid underperformers, over-the-hill players still making lineups based on past reputations, and third-rate talent is the result. Mismanagement. Is there just one coach to the players that can show them how to create offensive rhythm and hence more scoring opportunities? Have you seen the Manchester United offense?Continue reading “An End to the Madness”
Squatters
People that inhabit a property that they have no legal claim to do so. Big news when we hear of squatters and the legal frustrations involved trying to extricate them. Aren’t we all just another form of squatter? We are here, free to live and do whatever we want until another more powerful entity decidesContinue reading “Squatters”
Get Real
When we left our lovely home in Phoenix to be closer to Karen’s family, I was looking for my own little Mayberry to move to. I wanted the whole mom and pop thing, the small town feel, and when we were searching for our new home, we came upon the “main street” of this smallContinue reading “Get Real”
Never Ever Ever Apologize!
Unless you screw something up and you have to. Israel isn’t apologizing for anything After all, it wasn’t their citizens hang gliding down on a group of all those innocent, honest Hamas people we hear so much about, shooting automatic rifles indiscriminately. And the definition of insanity? History has provided you with the 6-day War,Continue reading “Never Ever Ever Apologize!”
