Today is the 43rd anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. The last person to see him alive outside of his inner circle was the security guard of a building where he'd just got some dental work done. This was around midnight, Memphis-time. Around the same time, astronomers Ohio State monitoring a radio telescope aimed at the … Continue reading Monday, August 16, 2021

I forgot to do Thursday, apparently. I'm almost positive I did, though I couldn't tell you anything about it. Furthermore, the page where I do the editing (better tools than WordPress) has long been dumped. Come to think of it, I don't remember anything about Thursday. I'm sure it happened and I just didn't pay … Continue reading The Weekend: August 14-15, 2021

Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves gave a press conference today, updating the state's situation in regards to the Delta Variant of COVID-19. This is the first chat he's given on the topic since I don't know when, maybe March, and given what he said today, I really don't blame him. Long story short, thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin. … Continue reading Friday, August 13, 2021

As Merle Haggard said, when it rains it pours. It has been a busy day. We have some ground to cover so let's get to it. First off, the U.S. Senate approved a resolution package for President Joe Biden's infrastructure bill by a straight-party vote of 50-49. I don't know who didn't vote but who cares. This is a … Continue reading Wednesday, August 11, 2021

I'm getting a late start tonight. I have no really good excuse apart from just being a lazy bastard in general. However, you're not paying for this so deal. Okay, so we're facing landscape-changing flooding, sometimes in cities ill-equipped to deal with chest-high water on a regular basis. Record droughts and once-in-a-hundred-years wildfires all over … Continue reading Monday, August 9, 2021
The Weekend: August 7-8, 2021
We made it through the first full week of August without burning to a crisp, being washed away by raging floodwaters, or dying because our arrogance prevented us from taking basic measures to prevent infection by an out-of-control killer virus. And there's your Gibberish for this week, too. Clever, I thought, particularly for around 1,600 words of nothing … Continue reading The Weekend: August 7-8, 2021

We're at the end of the first full week of August. I realize we're getting a late start here, but you're just going to have to live with it. None of y'all are paying for this and I have had a day. Like so many all-American miseries, enormous wildfires scorching the Pacific Northwest have almost … Continue reading Friday, August 6, 2021

It is the official policy here at Enon Holler World Headquarters that we recommend you and everyone you know gets one of the three available vaccinations for COVID-19. We got the Pfizer double-jab, but the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson shots are just as viable. Talk to your doctor or primary caregiver, of course, especially … Continue reading Wednesday, August 4, 2021

Welcome to the first week in August. I know I'm running late, but you're just going to have to deal with it. I have had a day. Just as a reminder to everyone. Today's the day when the initiative that won almost three-fourths of the population last November legalizing medical marijuana for Mississippians should have … Continue reading Monday, August 2, 2021
The Weekend: July 31-August 1, 2021
It's the first day of August 2021. There are five full months left in the year. Tomorrow, Mississippi's medical marijuana initiative, voted on by nearly 3/4ths of the state back last November, was supposed to go into effect. In theory, I would've been able to swing by a dispensary after my therapist session in Tupelo … Continue reading The Weekend: July 31-August 1, 2021
Dear Y'all
