What a great cartoon. Agree? Known primarily for his humorous essays. every now and then Slim Randles slips a serious topic in his weekly columns. Here’s one of his most recent: Do you know …which is the oldest settlement in the United States? Forget Jamestown. Forget Roanoke. Forget St. Augustine. According to book learning, the […]

Interrupting the scheduled frivolity for a bit of a rant, but I assure you the fun will start soon. Please bear with me. 🙂 Before getting to the serious matter at hand, I do have to acknowledge that my poor father is probably shaking his finger at me from Heaven for using the word “stupid”

I hope it’s a Happy Monday for everyone. As to what is happening in the world, especially here in the U.S., I have no words printable in a blog post written in a family-friendly space, so I refrain, which is a good thing for my blood pressure. I need to escape and doing that with

Happy Friday – Maybe My first thought when planning to write a blog post for today was to comment on current affairs. But current affairs are so… so… so Disheartening? Ugly? Frightening? All of the above? Settling on “all of the above,” I figured my mind needed to go in a different direction. And since

In case you’re like me and rather numb with cold, as well as what’s happening in the political arena, maybe a dose of nonsense from Windy Wilson – resident word-scrambler at the Mule Barn Truck Stop – will bring a smile. Windy wouldn’t call it nonsense. He’s convinced that his words make sense. You be

Letting my friend, Slim Randles take center stage today. His point about the cold doesn’t make sense here in Texas, as we’re currently experiencing a warm spell. It’s going to be 75 degrees on Monday, and folks who want a fire that evening will have to run their AC to compensate. 🙂 I hope everyone

A friend sent me this meme and I couldn’t resist the urge to share it here. It perfectly captures the attitude of a cat, although perhaps not all cats. I’ve had some that were aloof, and some that were not. This doesn’t reflect my attitude about the holidays, either. It’s a wonderful, magical time for
