Fun With Cats
If you’re anything like me, you’re beyond tired of the campaigning, the political crap being flung all around, and the constant dire news. So today, the day before the election here in the U.S., I thought it would be fun to have a Cat Day on my blog again. You who read the blog regularly […]
Monday Morning Musing
First, I want to take a moment to remember and honor those who fought for the freedoms we enjoy here in the United States. There will be few gatherings or picnics or barbecues today, and my anger toward the Corona Virus that has impacted our lives in so many ways is growing. People should be […]
Back to Normal?
I hope everyone had a good weekend. I certainly did. Saturday and Sunday I was able to see some of my kids in person. We didn’t touch. We stayed 3-6 feet apart. We didn’t hug. But we could chat and enjoy the pretty weather here in NE Texas out on my deck. It was so […]
Science, Recycling, and Friday Funnies
In the spirit of social distancing, I’m sending out a virtual hug to everyone, via this cute image a friend of mine sent. I love it. Before sharing links with the latest stats on the spread of nasty corona virus, I want to share this from The Daily Podcast. On this morning’s episode Carl Zimmer, […]
The Rapture? A War? None of the Above?
Whew! we’ve dodged a bullet. At least for now. The news over the weekend, and through much of this week, has been full of reports about the killing of Qasem Soleimani, an Iranian Major General in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He was commander of its Quds Force, a division primarily responsible for military and […]
Impeachment Isn’t a Joke
Good Friday morning. I hope this is the end of a good, productive week for everyone. Mine has been anything but. Too many appointments taking me away from my writing this week, but I did get a little bit done yesterday on the third book in the Seasons Mystery Series. If I dedicate most of […]
Trump vs California
One of the stories on a recent episode of the NPR daily podcast, Up First, was about the standoff between President Trump and the state of California. California wants to be able to maintain their own standards of emissions that are higher than other states, and their right to do so has been approved […]
Political Absurdity
This crate is supposed to offer Dusty a safe place to get away from the cats. He’s outnumbered four to one, but sometimes it isn’t always the safest place. Luckily, Harry is the one cat who really seems to like Dusty, and he often tries to buddy up to the dog. Perhaps you’re already aware […]
Memorial Day
The other day, someone asked me what I was doing for the Memorial Day weekend, and I was surprised, as I always am since the holiday was moved from May 30. Back when I was a kid, we always knew when Memorial Day was coming around, and we always knew that it would be met […]
Absurdities Abound
Before writing about the absurd deals that were made between our erstwhile leader here in the United States and the German financial institution, Deutsche Bank, I thought it would be nice to share a few pictures from my little corner of the world. This dog greets me and my dog every morning when we’re walking. […]
