Where are now? Let’s see three Mac Minis and a virtualized server for hosting and two different Weblog solutions. I’ve lost track how long I’ve been with WordPress but when I made the belated jump to the Weblog format, it … Continue reading
Gov. Dumbass reverses course…partially
As per the news, Texas had a surge in CV-19 cases Wednesday; to the number of 8000 in a day. So our reality-denying, race-baiting, shitbag governor finally issued an order stating that mask wearing is mandatory in counties with over … Continue reading
Half way through 2020!
To cheer us all up, I decided make my header one of the best movies ever made in the Eighties. Hell, it’s so perfect, I can’t think of a single complaint about it. On July 3, 1985, Back to the … Continue reading
America’s pathetic behavior on display…again
Allegedly, these two assholes who overreacted to the protesters marching in their One Percenter neighborhood are injury-lawsuit lawyers. They should’ve attended a basic weapons training class because, they of all people should know they could be sued for injuring somebody … Continue reading
Got my first mani-/pedicure, wow!

Texas has to scale back, thanks Gov. Dumbass
It’s not a surprise that Gov. Shitbag and his underlings have had to pump the brakes regarding the COV-19 issue since they open things too soon. Cases are rising very rapidly in Texas but I have a suspicion it’s the … Continue reading

SCOTUS rules in favor of expanding Title VII
I got the good news from my friend Matthew first and it’s a good thing because he’s a lawyer and could dumb it down for me. In short, SCOTUS ruled in a 6-3 decision (all four Liberals with Justices Roberts … Continue reading

One good thing from the Depression of 2020
I know these places provide a service for people who are “beneath” the financial radar but the fact that they exist is very damning. America should find a way to empower every citizen, resident, whoever. Money is money and these … Continue reading
Sorry about my absence
It’s a lot of work typing with one hand for legitimate reasons…rimshot! The recent injury in my left arm get worked up whenever I do anything to pop the joint or what I consider, double-jointed action, namely putting my left … Continue reading
First full-day of work with painful elbow
It went pretty well. Still hurt like the dickens whenever I stretched or did any activity involving my left arm straightening out. The key thing I needed which I put into the success category was typing! Ergo, my fingers and … Continue reading
The month’s header
Twenty-five years ago, my first great Summer in Austin got rolling. The year before sucked for my new home and as for the other years, I would say I hadn’t had a really decent Summer since 1991. To be fair … Continue reading
June/Summer off to a great start
I’ve been out of commission for several days thanks to tennis. Now I’m confident a bunch of you will go with the cliché, oh you got tennis elbow. How I wish! I did injure my elbow but it was from … Continue reading
