Liberals are celebrating the FBI hunting down the Capitol protesters, rioters, white supremacists, insurrectionists, terrorists, Fascists, or whatever name is appropriate for the occasion.  And they're all Republicans!  Liberals get to use the police state against their opponents and no one is gonna complain.  Lock those Republicans in prison and throw away the key.  Can't get better than...

For those of you that have camera security systems, I have questions. What system did you buy? Do you like it? What do you wish it had now that you've owned it for a while? Did you do a wire- in system, solar rechargeable, simply battery operated? How much did you invest? I'm looking into getting a camera security system for the front of my house. Last night, at about 2 am, someone threw a...

I got off to a late start this year, but it didn't matter. I had two hard freezes in late April, which would have undone everything anyway, so I suppose that actually worked out for the best. The problem is, after the freezes the weather never returned to normal. May was every bit as wet as last year, and unseasonably cold as well. The... Whole... Darn... Month... I think I was actually...

What is the single most important feature of the experiment that is the United States? For many, if not a majority of Americans, it is the notion that all are created equal. That equality is firmly rooted in our election process. The 18 year old finishing her high school course of study, living in her parent's home, and earning $8.00 an hour at her local bodega must have the same weight in her...

Democrats have turned the Capitol attack on January 6 into a meme of insurrection.  Democrats are demanding special committees, investigations, and commissions to understand and prevent the next insurrection.  But Democrat's minds are already made up; Democrats aren't going to change their opinions.  Democrats won't use their self-righteous outrage and investigative zeal to prevent another...

A Thursday morning...Drinking coffee & trying to get myself motivated to pack lunches & get myself ready for work....When all of a sudden Onyx leaps to the top part of the window chasing a bird that flew into it.  She started chittering & my big boy, Ghost came bounding onto the couch to see.  They chittered back and forth and it all made me so happy.

The crazy and sad stuff that happened last night: Last night at about 10:45 pm, the adopted one (we'll call him E from here on out] pointed out someone that was sitting on the sidewalk in front of the house and I asked him if the person was talking or anything. E said that he heard the person mumbling and what sounded like crying and possibly a spray can [that's what E called it]. I asked E...

So, I've been watching random YouTube videos about accents; mainly accents of the US. Some of the things I do or say, I didn't realize they were related to Michigan or sometimes Northern Midwest states. There's a few I enjoy in particular. A couple are specifically about my home state of Michigan. A couple are generalizations of certain states / regions of the US. Of course not everyone in a...

So in about three years I am retiring.  And the first major thing I would like to do is take my family on the vacation of a lifetime.  I have already been planning and putting feelers out there to the family about what would be their once in a lifetime vacation.  I haven't let on to them what I want to do quite yet until I can make a final decision on the destination. I love to travel and...
