We're getting a slow start to the last day of August. A suspect is being interviewed in the case of the Patriot Prayer guy who got shot in Portland this weekend. However, that's all we know so far. He does seem nuttier than a yard full of fox squirrels, though. Again, I think it's only going to … Continue reading Monday, August 31, 2020
The Weekend: August 29-30, 2020
August is almost over. People joke that March has lasted six months, but sometimes I have to wonder if there's something to that. Worst part about it, it's more than likely going to last past November regardless of who wins the Presidency. I've said it before, but I really don't like this new WordPress set … Continue reading The Weekend: August 29-30, 2020

Well, it's definitely been a week that needed wrapping up, so let's do just that. I held off this morning because I figured something interesting would happen today. It did not. Oh, well. We'll start with Laura, then. It made landfall Wednesday evening as a Category 5, making it one of the strongest hurricanes to … Continue reading Friday, August 28, 2020

I'm going to have to shut it down today, I can already tell. There is just too much awful in the world for me to handle without copious amounts of good-good and there's simply no way that's going to happen. Plus, I have some Actual Paying Work to do and would rather be playing Pillars Of … Continue reading Wednesday, August 26, 2020

I have some Actual Paying Work to do tonight, so we're going to squeeze this out best we can. Frankly, I'm also in a foul mood that's getting worse, so that doesn't help. But what are you gonna do? Anyhow. I don't really want to go too deep into the Jacob Blake business because a lot of … Continue reading Monday, August 24, 2020
The Weekend: August 22-23, 2020
Well, I did it again. Manage to spend most of the day reading and napping. Here it is, almost 10 p.m. and I haven't written a word. Worse, the brain sludge that I had yesterday hasn't gotten any better, and spending most of my day snoozing didn't help. So, let's get this week's Gibberish links … Continue reading The Weekend: August 22-23, 2020

I honestly meant to get back on the proper track, really I did. However, I doubt anyone's all that surprised that I didn't. Ah, well. It's just been one of those weeks. In any event, let's tie it off with a wrap-up before we head to the weekend. Before I start, though, I will say … Continue reading Friday, August 21, 2020

Going to be later today. Feeling lazy this morning and contemptuous of society. Can’t even be bothered to use pronouns. Check back later. Might have something useful. UPDATE: Well, it's 8 p.m. and I have some Actual Paying Work to do so I might as well squeeze this out. Hell, they've changed WordPress on me. … Continue reading Wednesday August 19, 2020

 A new week begins, and it's almost quiet. A quick look at the news is showing nothing too terribly interesting or nothing we didn't already cover in detail last week. Enjoy it while it lasts, I guess.  The Democratic National Convention begins tonight in Wisconsin, a fairly key battleground state. I haven't put too much stock in those things for years, … Continue reading Monday, August 17, 2020
The Weekend: August 15-16, 2020
 We've come to the end of another week, and it certainly was an eventful one. Joe Biden chose his Vice-President, which had the effect of record-breaking donations to his candidacy, and the Republican staked out their claim as the racism-fueled NIMBY party. I pretty much shut down today - stayed up too late playing Pillars of Eternity 2 - … Continue reading The Weekend: August 15-16, 2020
Dear Y'all
