For us, Winter Storm Izzy has been a bust. There have been spots of snow but it's mostly been just cold and rained. They got snow in Jackson and in Memphis, but that's not unusual. For some reason, cold weather coming from the plans splits before it hits us. It's still going on the East … Continue reading The Weekend: January 15-16, 2022

It's been a helluva week for Georgia. The University of Georgia knocked off Alabama for the National College Football Championship Monday, bringing home the Dawgs first national title since 1980. It was a fairly close contest in the first half, but Georgia came out wilding in the second and pushed around the hapless Crimson Tide 33-18. Good … Continue reading Wednesday, January 12, 2022

When I mention Actual Paying Work, one of the things I do is content creation for websites. Usually it's for law firms, so I know a lot about what to do after being in a car accident in Florida. Sometimes it's something different, though, and this is a long way of saying I wrote about … Continue reading Monday, January 10, 2022

I've said before I don't put much stock in the whole "Second Civil War" or "National Divorce" scenarios. The people who support this haven't thought it through and the politicians that push it are either idiots or just trying to stir up the howler monkeys. Usually both. This may be to my detriment and I … Continue reading The Weekend: January 8-9, 2022

The Mississippi State Legislature started its 2022 session yesterday. For the next three months, the state Senators and Representatives will be engaged in the sausage-making that is the legislative process, crafting the laws and regulations that will lead the Magnolia State further into the 20th Century. Then they'll spend the rest of the year asking … Continue reading Wednesday, January 5, 2022

A friend of mine died yesterday. I've known him since we were kids, though I don't think I've seen him since my father's funeral five years ago. He was a good ol' boy in the sense that he was always good-natured and easy-going, and he was always willing to help you out if he could. … Continue reading Friday, December 31, 2021

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and/or weekend, depending on how you swing things. Mine was pleasant enough, saw all the family, and that's always nice. I'm not writing about the Brandon guy. I simply refuse to do it, it is far, far too dumb to even be funny. While we don't have any … Continue reading Monday, December 27, 2021

It's the day after Christmas, so I hope everyone who celebrates it had a nice one. I also hope everyone who doesn't celebrate it had a nice Saturday. For those of y'all that celebrate Kwanza, which starts today, I send warm wishes for a joyful celebration. Let's all chill out. It's also the last weekend … Continue reading The Weekend: December 25-26, 2021

Hey, it's Christmas Eve. If you observe the holiday, however you observe it, Merry Christmas. If you don't observe the holiday, for whatever reason you don't observe it, have a lovely weekend. To any and all, here's hoping you and yours - your friends, your family, the guy at the Quick Stop you buy your … Continue reading Friday, December 24, 2021

Okay. I usually don't give these sorts of things much attention, but I'm going to run with it today. Why? Because it's goddamn funny, that's why. So there's this thing called "ReAwaken America." Long story short, it's a bunch of conservatives - a mix of the QAnon crowd, election conspiracy believers, and other mainstream Republicans … Continue reading Wednesday, December 22, 2021
