We’re in the middle of the week so we’re having our regular Wednesday shower here at Enon World Headquarters. This week’s rain isn’t all that dramatic, though, as it’s rarely got harder than the occasional cloudburst.

Now, granted, something drastic may happen before the day's out but that's a risk I'm willing to take. In any event, … Continue reading Monday, June 8, 2020

I really, really don't want to write about this. I know I'm out bad saying this, but writing about shenanigans going on in Washington, D.C., or Jackson has a detached quality.
