Well, time to get off the holiday break and get back to rambling about s**t. It was a nice break spent with family and friends, food and drink, books and puzzles. We came down to the beach house on Friday and had big time storms over the weekend with 1.7” of rain on Saturday aloneContinue reading “January 7, 2025”

Tis the night before Christmas and a time to take a respite from the state of the Union. There will be plenty of time in the near future to get my bowels in further uproar. So tonight the missus and I will just relax, have some hot toddies and reflect on our blessings of 2024.Continue reading “December 24, 2024”

Need I say more? Okay, I will. I begin today with this meme created by Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett from Texas. This AI generated piece of art depicts what many see happening right now. The richest man in the world is playing tRump like a puppet. MuskRat is probably thinking tRump breathed a sigh of reliefContinue reading “December 21, 2024”

As I sit here beginning this rambling, after having survived the Christmas grocery shopping frenzy, we still don’t know if the government is shutting down tonight at midnight or not. It looked like Speaker Johnson had the votes all wrapped up on Tuesday, but then we got a glimpse of what the next four yearsContinue reading “December 20, 2024”

December 18, 2024 WTF!! We just had our 83rd OTAP of 2024. What’s OTAP you ask? That would be “Our Thoughts and Prayers”, which we hear from politicians to those families and victims after every school shooting tragedy. Isn’t that what you hear each time there is a school shooting? On NBC News last nightContinue reading “December 18, 2024”

It sounds like Mar-a-Lago is kind of like the DMV right now. I hear folks step up to the gate and take a number and then wait in line to grovel before King Donald. ‘Okay #6 come forward, King Donald will see you now. Mr. Cook (Tim Cook, CEO of Apple) did you bring theContinue reading “December 16, 2024”

Yesterday I started my post with the incredulous announcement that President-elect Donald Trump had been named the “Person of the Year” by Time magazine. After posting my rambling for the day and pondering about this during the evening, causing my blood pressure to rise to probable unhealthy levels, I awoke this morning and cancelled myContinue reading “December 13, 2024”

Wow! Time magazine names Donald Trump the person of the year and this time Don doesn’t have to make a fake cover — he really has been given that honor by the owner of the magazine, Marc Benioff, who is also the co-founder, chairman and CEO of Salesforce, a cloud-based software company that had overContinue reading “December 12, 2024”

How about this run of rainless sunny days? It certainly has been nice to not have a rainy, dark, and dreary daytime while I’m looking out the window or driving around town. It looks like that may change for a couple of days beginning tomorrow, but possibly get back to sun and no rain afterContinue reading “December 6, 2024”

Hi y’all! I’m back from a nice Thanksgiving break and ready to ramble on. While I was taking that break, our President-elect continued to exhibit his kakistocracy tendencies. If you will recall from an earlier Mountain Man Musing, kakistocracy is government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state, or in the wordsContinue reading “December 3, 2024”
