Thanks for your concern. No, I don’t have the Coronavirus and am not in the hospital on a ventilator. I’ve been off grid camping and so haven’t had a way to communicate. It was wonderful — no cell phone, no internet, no television, no Trump news. Just a beautiful clear blue sky, green vegetation, andContinue reading “August 13, 2020”

Had a dental appointment down in Portland today and then got home to finish chopping and stacking the firewood to get it covered before the forecasted rain for tomorrow. Have all the firewood chopped, stacked and covered. Didn’t give me time to write, so I will just post some photos I just took after dinnerContinue reading “August 5, 2020”

Yeah, I know, my posts have been in absentia for a few days, but here I am again. I don’t know if the break was because I have been busy working on outdoor projects and didn’t have time to write or I was just getting tired of the same topics day after day — tRump,Continue reading “August 3, 2020”

Hopefully we will see less violent protesting in PDX now that the Federal agents are leaving town after negotiations between the Trump administration and Governor Brown. How we got to this point is interesting depending on who is doing the talking. Nik Blosser, the Gov’s chief of staff says that the Feds were clearly lookingContinue reading “July 30, 2020”

I’m backkkkkk! Took a few days off from ramblin’, but it’s too hot to work outside this afternoon, so I’ll take a nice, cool break and write a few thoughts. I’ll start off with what is happening in Portland, which seems to be the talk across the country. I think we are on day 62Continue reading “July 28, 2020”

While tRump hides behind the walls in the White House watching his “goon squad” in Portland on cable television guarded by his Secret Service, knowing he can make a mad dash to the basement if need be, we see a young lady facing off against the “goon squad” in a “c’mon you f****ers, I dareContinue reading “July 23, 2020”

“This is what dictators do,” tweeted Representative Joaquinn Castro, referring to Trump’s Secret Police and their actions in Portland over the past few days. It appears that this administration is testing the waters to see just much they can get away with in their attempt to make the United States a full-fledged authoritarian government. What’sContinue reading “July 21, 2020”

Holy S**t!!! What country do we live in? There certainly isn’t anything “united” about the United States of America, and it’s getting worse every day. Now we have King tRump’s ‘Federales Secret Militarized Police’ in camo uniforms driving around in unmarked rented minivans snatching people off the streets without any probable cause, taking them toContinue reading “July 17, 2020”

It was weird having ‘Tax Day’ come up on my Google notifications for today, but it’s just been one weird year hasn’t it? There were two news reports this morning that struck me as karma. The first was the governor of Oklahoma testing positive for the coronavirus. What I find interesting about this is heContinue reading “July 15, 2020”

I start today’s post with an Arts and Entertainment recommendation. Last week my friend, RT, messaged me and said to get the new Bob Dylan album “Rough and Rowdy Ways,” so I did just that and man was he right on. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard charts, setting a newContinue reading “July 13, 2020”
