It seems our choices for President come down to a senile fool who couldn’t do more to destroy the country if he tried versus a grifting con man who failed to destroy the Sith when he had the chance. If there was a time for none of the above this might be it. Right nowContinue reading “None of the above”

Headcount day for Kansas
Today is a big day for Kansas schools. The student count on this day determines the amount of state aid each school district gets. It also determines which class high school sports teams will compete in for the next two seasons. Locally, Caney Valley could drop from 3A to 2A. The only other area schoolContinue reading “Headcount day for Kansas”
Vacation Policies
When I first entered the workforce full time 40 some years ago most private employers had the same vacation policy. You got one or two weeks vacation each calendar year, pro-rated if you only worked part of a calendar year. You had to use it or lose it at the start of the next year.Continue reading “Vacation Policies”
Amazon days
Back in the days when Amazon was selling mostly books, they opened a warehouse in Coffeyville. Amazon insisted on a high school diploma. They didn’t just want you to have a diploma, they wanted to see the actual diploma and make a copy of it. Most middle aged Americans have no idea what happened toContinue reading “Amazon days”
More softball and hardball
This week the Kansas high school sports authorities allowed an increase in the number of baseball and softball games per season from 20 to 26 starting this spring. This will put Kansas equal to Missouri but considerably behind Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Colorado. This is a boon to large suburban schools which are losing players toContinue reading “More softball and hardball”
A’s last stand
I don’t follow baseball much, but the Oakland Athletics saga has piqued my interest lately. Their final homestead begins Friday. They will play next year as a lame duck team before moving to Las Vegas in 2025. The WuFlu was not kind to Oakland. The last three seasons post WuFlu have seen 2.2 million peopleContinue reading “A’s last stand”
Ain’t buying it
You know people are hurting when they aren’t buying groceries at Walmart. Our holiday displays are in the backroom waiting to be put up. Unfortunately there is a lot of summer groceries that didn’t sell so well, so there is some serious clearance sales. Red, white and blue M&Ms were half off at 6 dollars.Continue reading “Ain’t buying it”
Forgotten already
Just 22 years after the Saudi scum slammed stolen airplanes in skys rapers, too many people have forgotten the significance of this date.
Putting the duh in dumb blonde
Michelle Lujan Grisham, Governor of New Mexico, issued a temporary ban on carrying handguns in Bernalillo County including the city of Albuquerque. The rationale is “public health” because gun violence kills two to three children a month. This executive order has not exactly gone over well with the public. In addition to the usual fringeContinue reading “Putting the duh in dumb blonde”
Lying down on the job
My job can literally be a pain. Reaching up on the top shelf to bring boxes or cans is not so bad. Bending over to put things on lower shelves can be a bit awkward at times. But seeing what is in the back of the bottom shelf preventing you from stocking an item canContinue reading “Lying down on the job”
