It’s getting darker earlier. I hate that. It’s getting a mite colder, too. That, I don’t mind. In fact, I rather like the change. I’m getting more tired of cooking and more into eating prepared foods. These Power Bowls aren’t … Continue reading →
I think this video is kind of fun. My observations follow: (1) My mother called the refrigerator the icebox for most or maybe even all of her life. (2) I have very strong memories of transom windows. In particular, they … Continue reading →
First let’s talk about what happened last night. I didn’t watch the debate, because – as I’ve said many times – I hate presidential debates and they make me very nervous as well. In this case, I expected Trump to … Continue reading →
Here’s an interesting comment from “Cary Kembla.” It’s an attempt to explain Democrat voters who continue to believe the biased MSM and authorities who’ve been wrong so many times: I think the dimension that is lacking in these people is … Continue reading →

Bet you didn’t know I was away, did you? I’ve just returned from a fairly lengthy trip out west, and now I’m in re-entry: laundry, groceries, reconnecting with friends. The trip was long because I combined a bunch of things, … Continue reading →
