I shut down this weekend and unhooked myself from the world. I mentioned Friday that I had to say goodbye to my best friend, and that has been a drag. Plus, it's been too damn cold to deal with it. The weather's nice looking but still too cold to deal with. I'm tired of talking … Continue reading The Weekend: February 5-6, 2022

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

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

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

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

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

Okay. Let's get to it. Mississippi's recorded itsĀ first caseĀ of the omicron variant of COVID-19. It comes from someone who had recently traveled from New York. This person was vaccinated and showed no signs of illness. They are being isolated for the next ten days, just to be safe. Again, we wish to emphasize that the … Continue reading Monday, December 6, 2021

I was going to do this earlier today but I had a feeling. I had a strong feeling that some heavy news was going drop around quitting time, what they call "the Friday News Dump." Essentially, it's news that was going to come out anyway so why not let it happen just before everyone goes … Continue reading Friday, December 3, 2021
