For what you are about to receive, may you be truly thankful. The GrandThing subreport: GrandThings are doing well. Thing 1 is crawling when…

First, in GrandThings news, they’ve both had their 1-year checkup a bit late (Thanks, Wuflu-drive staffing shortages. That crap is the gift that keeps on…

First a note on the GrandThings. Grandthings celebrated their first birthday last weekend, much to the enjoyment of the assembled family and friends. Much cake…

It’s time to get back at it. I’m not 100%, but whatever percent I am will have to do. I’ve said many times that “Collapse…

It’s been an interesting month since the last report, mostly in a Chinese interesting sort of way. Plus it’s been an expensive month around here.…

Three months since I did a report? And it’s taken me a week to write this one. Bad Freeholder! Grandthings go first. At a little…

I’ve been trying to write this post for so long (started in on March 8) that I’ve forgotten half of what I wanted to include…

This is going to be a little different than usual. It’s all about “What did I see in the Big City of Charlotte?” Overall, I…

There are days when I simply look out a window at whatever part of my yard I can see and wonder “How long until it’s…

Yep, I’m still here. Sometimes I wonder if I should even keep the doors open, given the number of posts I’ve done lately. I’m guilty…

Where the bloody hell is all my time going? It seems that the older I get, the faster it disappears and the less I have…

The busier I get, the less I feel I’ve accomplished. It’s been that kind of week. First of all, Daughter and Grandkids continue to do…

It’s been a busy few days around here. In macro news, I’ve noted these data points from the ongoing process of collapse: Polio declared a…

Apologies for the lack of substantial posting, but I’ve been busting it in the real world, or busting it as much as this tired body…

In macro news, I’m seeing items that seem to point toward food and energy conditions getting worse. Many of those items are from subscription sources,…

Show of hands-who is tired of the Dog Days of summer yet? I know that everyone I’ve talked to recently is totally over this hot…
