Yeah, it's been one of those days. One of those cold days, as it really didn't break 35 here in Enon Holler. We got a dusting of snow over the weekend, and it stayed cold and cloudy enough there's still snow here and there. However, what looks to be the first serious storm system of … Continue reading Monday, January 3, 2022 →

The Weekend: January 1-2, 2022

I am not sanguine about the upcoming year. Now, a few caveats about that before we get rolling. I suffer from what's called dysthymia, or persistent depressive disorder. This isn't the wild mood swings of bipolar nor is it the severe type of chronic depression. What it is, it's a constant feeling of being low, a … Continue reading The Weekend: January 1-2, 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 →

We're dealing with some foul weather this week, y'all, all over the country. Nothing's gotten too fierce or damaging yet, but it wouldn't do to let one's guard down. The Pacific Northwest has seen some heavy snowfall, mostly around the Seattle area. Down here in Tombigbee Valley, we've got some heavy rain and we're currently … Continue reading Wednesday, December 29, 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 →

The Weekend: December 25-26, 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 →

I'm not sure what to start with here. I touched on most of this yesterday, but I guess it's worth going into all of it a little deeper. Them that know announced today that the surge in COVID-19 cases can be traced back to the omicron variant flexing its muscles. Something like 73% of all … Continue reading Monday, December 20, 2021 →

The Weekend: December 18-19, 2021

It's been one of those days. Indeed, it's been one of those weeks. Hell, I imagine one could argue that it's been one of those years. Did anyone really think 2021 would be better than 2020? It makes one shiver to consider what 2022 has in store for us poor sinner. It's become given wisdom … Continue reading The Weekend: December 18-19, 2021 →
