Friday’s Odds and Ends

It’s true. I really am turning into the same kind of curmudgeon as my grandfather who used to throw his slippers at the TV or radio when there was some news item that stirred his ire, as well as a few chosen words. That’s the way I’ve felt too often in the last few years

Playing Games in Politics

2 Comments / blog post, commentary, Friday's Odds and Ends, Maryann Miller / By mcm0704

Just stop making everything in a political campaign about winning and gaining power, while ignoring the benefit of having people in Congress who have integrity, strength of character, something resembling a moral compass, and a willingness to work with others in government to get things done in Washington.

As much of the world is currently experiencing record high temperatures, and forests and cities and countries are burning up, literally, who is still pretending climate change is a myth? Not me.

This is a perfect offering from Slim Randles to share on the blog today. It’s roasting here in Texas and has been for several weeks. No rain for several weeks, either, with none in sight. And of course there is no global warming. Sigh… Anyway, it’s too hot to rant about anything, even though the

Here We Go Again

My birthday and Fourth of July mini-vacation was going great until I heard the news late Monday night about the mass shooting in Illinois during a Fourth of July parade in the city of Highland Park.
