Good use of hoarding toilet paper
Technically, the producer of this cat movie posted their work back in January so they’re spared my wrath about hoarding toilet paper. It’s pretty funny to see how different cats’ minds work. If you watch, there’s a dwarf cat … Continue reading
RIP Brian Blume
Most people remember Brian for all the contention he and his brother had with D&D’s main creator Gary Gygax. However, if it weren’t for Brian, D&D wouldn’t have gotten off the ground as soon as it did (or maybe, never) … Continue reading
But why is the recipient smiling?
This reminds me how behind (no pun intended) I am on getting my first colonoscopy. For once I’m grateful to the pandemic for providing the excuse for why I haven’t had it done!
An Astronomy headline the copyeditor did on purpose!
Unless the headline writer was thinking/utilizing the post-Eighties pronunciation of the seventh planet (YUR-in-us), they thought this was fine. However, everybody, including little kids still use the humorous ones the Romans never imagined. If you don’t know or recall, watch … Continue reading
RIP Adam Schlesinger
I had read earlier Adam was put into a medical coma because he was one of the unlucky few to come down with the full-blown illness caused by CV-19. It totally sucks he passed away. He was such a talented … Continue reading
Cookie Disaster, Apr. 2020 edition
OK, I did find something funny for April Fool’s Day via the HEB bakery when I was there before the Pandemic. Yeah…those are…uhh…balloons not trying to fertilize the cookie.
Welcome April…I guess
I often look forward to April 1st but given the Pandemic of 2020 along with all the economic fallout; holy crap! Three-plus million unemployment filings recently. It this Recession doesn’t defeat Orange Foolius, America is definitely a nation of stupid, … Continue reading
A useful discovery during Spring Cleaning!
Even before the Pandemic and America going on lockdown, I was going to engage in some reorganizing of the house. With it officially being mine entirely, there’s going to be changes but more importantly…serious cleaning. I decided to go with … Continue reading

Aggie singing in the window
Here’s a little serenading Aggie did while I came back from the mailbox. Hopefully he cheers you up for a bit during these crappy times.
1870: Texas re-enters the Union
If I remember my American History, Texas modified or rewrote its constitution to the satisfaction of Congress to regain its membership. With the “election” of Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876 (or 1877), it was all for naught as the GOP … Continue reading
Cookie Disaster, Mar. 2020 edition
I didn’t know there were many lighthouses in Florida. I often associate the structures further up the East Coast, usually the Carolinas and New England. Florida is more often known for the stupid things a “Florida Man” does with their … Continue reading
Keeping track of passing time in Austin

The remaining money arrived!
The lion’s share of the remaining re-fi money came through! The credit union already decided where it would go, mainly toward the joint credit card from my marriage and with the transition to one income…it was hard to nail down. … Continue reading
Let the kids join in the fun while you’re WFH
It’s cheaper than Zoom or other videoconferencing software and the futility of most meetings are still captured through this.
RIP Curly Neal
Sad to find out via Twitter that Curly of the Harlem Globetrotters passed away. He was definitely one of the iconic members during the peak popularity in the Seventies. Back then the Globetrotters were quite conspicuous: They first appeared on Scooby … Continue reading
