  • The Loneliness Epidemic

    I was listening to a podcast of Dr. Phil on Dave Rubin’s show while I was shopping earlier. If you follow Dave, you know that he’s in the middle of his “Off the Grid August”, but he pre-records segments for his team to air. Dr. Phil was talking about the loneliness epidemic. He basically said,…

  • The Birds

    I had to go into town this morning.  I was about a mile from the house, turning onto the main road when the largest flock of birds I have ever seen took to the sky. They were in the pasture to the right of the road. I think that’s the Goodmans’ farm, but I’m not…

  • Power On

    When I turn on my earbuds, a little recorded voice says, “Power On”. I can interpret that as the device telling me that now it has been turned on. I prefer to think that it’s a double entendre and my earbuds are no turned on, but they’re also encouraging me to power on, in spite…

  • Listen to the Ground

    Night Fever by The Bee Gees has been in my playlist for the last couple of weeks. I am still a Ride or Die Goth guy and More Punk Rock Than Thou, and am going to pretend there is no contradiction between these facts and The Bee Gees, dig? The first verse of Night Fever…

  • Warrior Princess Dream Girl

    What the hell was the guy thinking running off? If I were 20 years younger and that were my first date, I’d be considering a proposing, right there in the coffee shop. Assuming I could refrain from swooning long enough to get the words out. Guys, if a woman shows up armed, armored and ready…

  • I Get the Night Fever, Night Fever. We Know How to do it.

    I found out today that I have an unusually small mouth in proportion to my body. I had no idea. If someone should ever call me a big mouth, which no one ever has, and probably won’t since that term isn’t really fashionable these days, but if it should happen, I now have an actual…

  • Turn off Fox News!

    “Turn off Fox News” isn’t the own that leftists & Democrats seem to think it is. It just comes across like their understanding of how people gather information is 10-20 years out of date. It reminds me of when, in 2023, Stephen King posted that pro-abortion argument from the 1980s, “If men could get pregnant,…

  • No Kings!

    A king, or a Nazi, or a Fascist or a dictator or an authoritarian would not allow nationwide protests against him, so every person who is out there protesting Trump must realize they’re being ridiculous and dishonest. Or even worse, they don’t realize.

  • An Open Mind

    “A mind is like a parachute; it doesn’t work unless it’s open.” I’m sure you’ve heard that, and yes, it’s true, in a limited sort of way. A parachute has lines that do more than just keep the parachute attached to the skydiver. The lines keep the parachute from opening too far. They help it…
