What a week, man. It's been pleasantly green around here and I am just not inclined to do this. That is, dig into the week's news and try to understand it so I can explain it. So let's get to it. The world's not going to wait on me and I have nothing better to … Continue reading Friday, September 3, 2021

It's the first day of September. August has come and gone, and we're all looking forward to shorter days, cooler weather, and football. I usually keep up with this better but I haven't had to fill space or try to come up with a decent intro lately. Tropical Storm Ida is making its way through … Continue reading Wednesday, September 1, 2021

The power went out just as I was getting organized to write tonight’s News. If it comes back on before midnight I’ll take care of business. If not, I’ll do something tomorrow morning or whenever we get power again. Anyway, it’d be more stuff on Ida. Stay safe. And we're back. A transformer blew last … Continue reading Monday, August 30, 2021

Hurricane Ida made landfall today around 11 a.m. near Port Fourchon, Louisiana. That's about a hundred miles south-southeast of New Orleans. It was a Category 4 when it landed, with wind speeds hitting 150 miles per hour. It's been downgraded to a Category 3 as it moves through Louisiana at less than 10 mph with wind … Continue reading The Weekend: August28-29, 2021

Y'all, on top of everything else, there's a bad storming tearing through the Gulf of Mexico and it looks like a booger. They're saying it could make landfall as a Category Three or even Four. Hurricane Ida, it's called, and it should make landfall Sunday at the earliest. However, it's building up a head of steam … Continue reading Friday, August 27, 2021

The last ten days or so have been an interesting lesson in the media, politics, the government, the public perception of it all, and how all four play together. President Joe Biden's approval numbers have dipped some in this last round of national polls. While still in the Approval bracket overall, he's dropped below 50 percent collectively and just … Continue reading Wednesday, August 25, 2021

The Food and Drug Administration gave the Pfizer vaccine its full approval today. Now, if you're like me, your dose of the COVID-19 vaccine was Pfizer and you might be wondering what the deal. The FDA is a fairly strong government agency, as those things go, and very little slips through their clutches and can still … Continue reading Monday, August 23, 2021

I realize I'm running bad late on this but today has been a day. I won't go into great detail, but whatever it is means staring at a computer screen for too long is painful and will require a visit with the RN over in Fulton tomorrow morning if it doesn't clear up. So this … Continue reading The Weekend: August 21-22, 2021

I know we're starting late but you're lucky to be getting this. For certain values of "luck," of course, let's not bullshit ourselves. It has indeed been one of those days. I'm honestly sick to death of writing about COVID and the virus rampaging through Mississippi, but it's about all I can do. We topped 5,048 … Continue reading Friday, August 20, 2021

We're all still absorbing President Joe Biden's action to officially pull the U.S. military out of the 20-year morass that's been our involvement in Afghanistan. In a stunning reversal of opinion that shocked everyone, mainstream Republicans took less than 48 hours to go from outrage at Biden abandoning the Afghan people to screeching in horror … Continue reading Wednesday, August 18, 2021
