Second night of Pinballz Go Kart League

Despite missing the practice heat and driving a busted kart (#8) in the qualifier, no, really, it wasn’t my driving for a change; I had a better run last night. Given how much better…well, all the league members are at … Continue reading

In case you don’t know the difference

I couldn’t let October completely pass without a little nod to Italian heritage. This visual joke comes courtesy of my cousin Dana. Pretty funny and accurate since there’s an old joke about us…ahem! How do you make an Italian shut … Continue reading

Everything is fixed now!

Given Biden’s seven-to-ten point lead, depending upon which poll, voting for him and his GOP Lite agenda will fix everything! I for one did my minimal civic duty by participating in early voting. Oddly, I was only in line for … Continue reading

First night of Pinballz Go Kart League!

I’ll open with this…Mario Andretti I am not. I’d be lucky to be Janet Guthrie (a barrier-breaking driver, who sadly won no titles). However, I’m glad the owners of Pinballz finally took my nagging request to start a league. What … Continue reading

RIP: The Amazing Randi

Before Mythbusters there was the Amazing Randi hitting the talk-show circuit in the Seventies and Eighties (definitely that decade). Although Randi didn’t prove or disprove those implausible stories involving hairspray in the toilet or JFK was killed by a ice bullet, … Continue reading

Assholism is an international language

Sadly, this is not from the porch of an American apartment building, it’s from the Netherlands courtesy of my friend living there. He didn’t go up to the townhouse to see if it belonged to an ex-pat or a Dutch … Continue reading

Today’s Mood (October 2020)

It seems like the weekend isn’t enough to recuperate with because we Americans waste it running around, finishing the crap we didn’t accomplish during the week! Making the two days off a paradox. Even so, I ‘wasted’ my Saturday by … Continue reading

Rest in Peace Kody

With much sadness for I was too late to finally cover this cute little girl kitty in my section about Jennifer’s seven cats (this would’ve been number six). However…I’m going to try as I hold back the tears. This was … Continue reading

Richland Coyotes win a nail biter…for once

No, the scoreboard you’re seeing is correct. This was a football game, not a basketball game. This was the outcome of West Texas’ six-on-six style of the state religion. Where Jennifer grew up, the population centers are so small, few … Continue reading
