And of course there is no global warming. Sigh… Anyway, it’s too hot to rant about anything, even though the […]

I’m having surgery and leaving you in the good hands of my friend, Slim Randles. Also leaving you with incomplete sentences, but maybe you will find them entertaining. Not as entertaining as Slim

I wrote the following post Tuesday early afternoon before hearing about the shooting at the school in Uvalde. My posts are often written the day before they go live, often to give myself a chance to edit or change entirely. I’m not going to change this one. We do need a moment to focus on
