Finally got a mask
My cousin Dana made these bitchin’ masks which come in handy because they’re now mandatory until further notice in Travis County and Austin proper. It gets the job done. How? Not just cutting back the spread of CV-19 but it … Continue reading

My new bike rack!

My first new bike in 25 years
I was just getting too stir crazy and missing the gym so I went to Austin’s very nice Sun & Ski franchise to get a new bike. Years ago, I bought one for Somara but never followed up for me. … Continue reading
Twenty-one years with Apple today
Rather neat that these two things (work and Easter) coincide today. I think we’re all in agreement…better circumstances are desired. Plans? None since it’s Sunday and I’m four-to-nine years off of anything Apple might do to acknowledge my tenure. Let’s … Continue reading

Bernie leaves, DLC circles wagons around a loser
Being only in the Sanders camp to push the Democrats to the Left because we already have a Right-Wing party successfully turning America into a Third World Nation, I am no prepared for the blame throwing in Biden loses. Much … Continue reading
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
