It’s raining here! What am I gonna do?!?!

Earlier it was like a cow ****ing on a flat rock! Winter in the AV and The High Desert. Currently 47 and light rain here in Cal City. I was hoping to do the back yard weeds with Roundup and rake/shovel doggie doo today. Such fun plans ya know. Ah well, I will adapt. The [...]

Last Post of the Day – Mary Smich’s Guide to Life for Graduates

Enough with the stress and strain.  Enough with the money problems.  Sometimes it seems like most of what money does is create problems, but like I said, I’ve had enough of those.  Enough with problems in general.
It’s time for something a little better – a bit of my philosophy for life   No, it [...]

The BATFE, NFA, NFRTR, And Why Federal Gun Laws Should Concern You

It’s that time again.  Time to exercise my First Amendment right to rail about the Government in a public forum.  Today’s article concerns the BATFE, the NFA, NFRTR, what they are, and why you should be concerned no matter what your position on firearms issues.
OK, I can completely understand people looking at the title and [...]

Last Post of the Day – Jimmy Buffett – My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, and I Don’t Love Jesus

I must admit that I’ve been saving this post for a time like this
From experience, there’s times when some things just seem appropriate.  Yeah, this is one of those times.
The first time I ever heard this song, it was a Monday, I was working at Captain’s Cove, and I was at home with [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 3 January 2010

Three days into the year and I swear I feel like I’ve got a bit of a hangover even though I didn’t drink a drop.  I put it down to something like pollen in the air or the fake coconut smell they put in the air conditioning at the establishment at which I dined with [...]

Happy New Year

As Jeff has already covered. Got a job, nice gig too! Survived a go around with cancer. Had to move, the job.
Today it is the Bruins and Flyers from Fenway Park. Hockey close to it’s purest form. Outside. In the cold. Like when I was a youngster.
All the residents and commentators here have a splendid [...]

Three months ago, today……………………………………………

The picture is at Somewhere in The Antelope Valley under the appropriate page.  The one that says kidney cancer. It was taken a few days after the surgery that took place on the 21st of September. Precisely three months ago today and on a Monday morning. I guess I now have cause to really dislike [...]

I’m Still Here…

Sorry I missed posting yesterday, but I needed a break from everything.
Cindy just lost her uncle a couple of days ago and I finally got to talk to her last night for the first time since it happened.  She’s holding up OK, but still it was good for her to talk and I know it [...]

Picture A Day – 26 November 2009 – Thanksgiving

Today’s Thanksgiving and upon reflection, I’ve got a whole lot to be thankful for
Not only do I have a very loving family, but I’ve also got a second family who consider me to be one of their own regardless of blood or marriage.  Cindy and her family have been invaluable since I met [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 22 October 2009 – Open Desert, Sunset, and “Recoil Therapy™”

Work today… what can I say about it?  Well, if you read my previous post, you probably know about how it went and what I had planned for the short duration of leftover daylight remaining after I left.  “Recoil Therapy™” is what I call it.
“Recoil Therapy™” involves more than just the wonderful, first hand (or [...]
