My parents bought me my first PC for a high school graduation gift. I don't remember the make or model, except that it was bought at Radio Shack and was out-of-date by the time I opened the box. If I recall, it was a lack of memory and mostly stood out when I tried to … Continue reading Monday, October 4, 2021

It's the end of the week and the first day of October. Whatever philosophical significance you want to place on that is your business. For me, it merely is what it is, as always. Anyhow. Gov. Tate Reeves still hasn't made any moves to call a special session so the State Legislature can vote on the medical … Continue reading Friday, October 1, 2021

It has been another one of them days, so let's get to it. First, let's deal with Washington, D.C., or at least how much I can explain. I'm going to try to explain this whole "debt ceiling" business but it's one of those things that elude me, like matrices or golf or marriage. I figure … Continue reading Wednesday, September 29, 2021

Man, it has been one of those days. Let's not dally because, friends and neighbors, I ain't in the mood. Anyhow. There's been no movement from the governor's office about calling for the special session he promised should the Mississippi Legislature put together a decent medical marijuana bill to replace Initiative 65, which was scuttled by the … Continue reading Monday, September 27, 2021
The Weekend: September 25-26, 2021
It's the end of the last full week of September. This year is flying by, boy, yet it still sucks. I thought time only flew when you were having fun, but there you go. Perhaps that's just a part of getting older which, again, is a massive drag. There really isn't much to this week's … Continue reading The Weekend: September 25-26, 2021

It's the end of the week and the weather's really nice out. With that in mind, let's write about something positive. It was a pleasant surprise, anyway. Against all odds, the Mississippi Legislature got its shit sufficiently together and put together the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act. House Speaker Phillip Gunn presented it yesterday, with the final draft done by Rep. Lee … Continue reading Friday, September 24, 2021

It's the first day of Fall and, brother, it feels like it outside. It's been in the lower- to mid-70s all day and will be in the lower- to mid-50s tonight. It'll stay like this the rest of the week and get back up to another round of 80s/60s next week. No rain in the … Continue reading Wednesday, September 22, 2021

Today starts the last full week of September. I guess yesterday actually started it, but let's not quibble. In any event, I have some Actual Paying Work to get through this week so let's knock this out. The U.S. Supreme Court announced today it would hear the challenge to Mississippi's highly restrictive anti-abortion law. In short, Mississippi … Continue reading Monday, September 20, 2021
The Weekend: September 18-19, 2021
Man, Jake Tapper made Tate Reeves look a damn fool today. That's just all there is to it. The entire nation learned today that Mississippi is run by someone who might be the worst of the bunch. I've said before I don't care for editorialists or analyzers of any stripe, especially journalism, media, or politics. That … Continue reading The Weekend: September 18-19, 2021

I'm sorry, I haven't got much for you. It's been one of those days. The lead story on Google News, for example, is about Robert Durst being convicted of murder. I really can't do much with that. Plus, I am just not switched on and haven't been so the past couple of days, but let's do what … Continue reading Friday, September 17, 2021
Dear Y'all
