I got back from yet another business trip this Friday and spent Saturday watching soccer, prepping the yard for winter, stacking firewood and finally putting the new front brake on my scooter. It wasn’t that difficult, but I did have to disassemble the entire front end to get the damned thing in there. That done, […]
Wow! What an incredible news week: Woman beats boyfriend with baby (baby lived, although hopefully mom will be convinced to be sterilized), Joseph Duncan offers to plead guilty to all charges if death penalty taken off the table for state case (still on the table for Federal case, pretty much guaranteeing he’ll receive a death […]
Once again I am reminded that I should write things down and think about them. And once again, I tell myself that I do not have the time and just regurgitate things into my computer with far less thought than they deserve.

While I may disagree with their choices, I respect the decisions of the soldiers who chose to go to war in Iraq. Hopefully they will come home alive, and relatively uninjured. I applaud, however, 1st Lt. Ehren Watada, who is willing to risk prison and a dishonorable discharge rather than support an illegal war that […]
I’m feeling European today. A feeling heavily influenced by the dead well pump, which means no water or bathing today. We had thunderstorms roll through the area last night, which made for a spectacular evening. Sometime around midnight, lightning struck pretty close and we heard something pop and sizzle. I am now thinking (38 years […]
