Okay, comrades, the word of the day is foment, defined as instigate or stir up (an undesirable or violent sentiment or course of action). For example, “they accused him of fomenting political unrest.” 1861 a civil war began in the United States between the Northern states and the Southern states that lasted four years. 159Continue reading “April 17, 2020”

Happy Thursday, the day after “hump day,” weekend just around the corner. Woo Hoo! Because we are up here “off the grid,” we don’t have high speed internet; no cell phone service; can’t do zoom video conferencing; can’t do skype doctoring; no Netflix, Disney, or any of the other streaming services for movies and TVContinue reading “April 16, 2020”

Normally this would be Tax Day, but we aren’t experiencing normal right now. This got me to thinking about normalcy. We know what life is like right now during the pandemic, but what changes do you think we will see when we come out of this? I think the one thing people are really lookingContinue reading “April 15, 2020”

Note the date, it is not quite the middle of April. Wouldn’t think you would have to worry about forest fires this early in the season, but that is exactly what we need to be concerned with. The missus and I began our daily walk about noon and as we came to the end ofContinue reading “April 14, 2020”

Did you miss me? Didn’t post yesterday for the first time since I started this thing. Spent a quiet Easter Sunday at home enjoying the sunshine, reading, and cooking. Normally we would be out at Jen and Bill’s with other family members for Easter dinner. Due to the current situation it was just the missusContinue reading “April 13, 2020”

Compadres, I was going to take a vacation from posting today, but thought that if I missed a day you’d quit following me. Soooooo, this will just be a quickie. Just finished watching At Home FarmAid hosted by Willie, Lukas and Micah Nelson. One hour special with performances by Dave Mathews, John Mellencamp, and NeilContinue reading “April 11, 2020”

OMG! The Chosen One gets up this morning and tweets “HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY TO ALL!” This fake Christian, who trumpanzies link to Jesus, has absolutely no idea what this day is in the Christian world. It is not a day to celebrate and jump with joy, but probably the most somber day of the yearContinue reading “April 10, 2020”

Okay friends. I started this post 45 minutes ago and had it really rolling. Unfortunately, I have been drinking a fairly large whiskey sour while writing (thanks for the inspiration, John and Marci) and somehow deleted all of the musing that I was writing after going back to check something on yesterday’s post. I reallyContinue reading “April 9, 2020”

It was just too nice today to sit in front of a computer musing, so this will be a shorty. January 22, 2020 “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” — CNBC interview February 10, 2020 “Looks likeContinue reading “April 8, 2020”

Yesterday I wrote that the acting Navy Secretary, Thomas Modly, was pretty much a jerk and the result of his actions probably weren’t completely played out yet. Sure enough, I see he just resigned after being told last night by his boss that he needed to apologize to Captain Crozier for the remarks he madeContinue reading “April 7, 2020”
