Due to the warmer weather, I am digging up the last of the potatoes today. Meanwhile in France, the French farmers are digging up the highways leading to Paris. They are not planting potatoes or much of anything else. I hope French officials remember what happened the last time they pissed on and pissed offContinue reading “Feeling inadequate”

“If we make it through December”
I always think of the old Merle Haggard song in December. Unlike the song, I still have my job. But with car insurance, property taxes, and my landlord license due in the next 24 hours, a large chunk of my bank account goes out the door in a very short period of time.

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”
Storm troopers raid newspaper
In Marion, Kansas the entire police department raided a weekly newspaper office and the publisher’s home. Since five cops were not enough, a couple of Marion County deputies went along. Almost everything the paper needed to publish next week was seized, including cell phones, computers and hard drives. The publisher said he would get somethingContinue reading “Storm troopers raid newspaper”
