Reports from other OPs
While I haven’t felt like doing anything myself, I’ve been watching those who do. The most interesting one I’ve seen in the prepping space is…
Craptastic Chinese Virus Continues to be Craptastic
I think the last time I had something that hung on this strongly was…well, I don’t know. Probably it was a girlfriend I was trying…
You know, I keep telling people that “We don’t bounce so good at our age”
But I never remember to apply it to myself. I need to rectify that oversight. It seems that once one is “over” the Wuflu, the…
God is good
Bellatrix has been to the vet and is back home. Seven weeks old, 2 pounds and healthy! Once again, my prayers have been answered positively…

The NC Primary Election was on May 17. For some 2 weeks before that day, I worked a polling place for a buddy who was…
When it rains, it Wuflus
I’ll try and do the posts I wanted to do 6 days ago sometime soon. But for right now, this is the post you’re going…

Report from the OP, May 7, 2022
I don’t know what concerns me more-what I see or how people are reacting to it. I took that picture on Wednesday. It’s just one…

From Michael Bane on Facebook (Yes, I do still use it, on a very limited basis on only on a select device) I’ve received word…
Report from the OP, April 30, 2022
While the news is full of the Russo-Ukrainian War, somewhat less full of China and seasoned with lesser but still important things like inflation and…
I’m well
It’s just I don’t see much to write about. We’re pretty much in the same place we’ve occupied for the last while. I suppose we’re…
Time for soothsaying
For some reason, this post has been riding me for days. I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time on it but I can’t get it…
Why Russia is the most dangerous country in the world
And not just because they’re threatening WWIII every couple of weeks. Definitely worth your time to listen to this podcast excerpt. I plan on listening…

Time to get back to abnormal around here. This is Day 9 of “No migraines”, something for which I’m very grateful. I have no idea…

Once again, I’m redefining a craft to be an art. 🙂 Barn quilts are widely believe to have started in 2001 as an Ohio woman’s…
The return of my usual sunny disposition :-)
I can’t say if it’s the new drugs, prayer or both, but something is doing some good. I’m on Day 4 of “No migraine!”, at…
Broad Spectrum Incompetence
The good news is that I’m working on Day 2 of “Not Having a Migraine”. This is unfortunately due in no part to my choice…
I’m here
Somewhat barely, anyway. Eight migraines in the last 10 days. One right now. I am attempting to embrace the suck. Oddly enough, while searching for…
Fine Art Tuesday
Southern rock, popular music style combining blues jams and boogie licks with lyrics declaring fierce regional pride. Its aggressive, unpretentious sound helped revitalize American rock…

Fine Art Tuesday
In the late 1800s, Neo-Impressionism used the new sciences of optics and color to create a new form of painting, in which artists used “dots”…
Sunday Reading
I will admit that I’ve been cheating. Rather reading the actual paper books, I’ve been listening to the audiobook versions. I can do that while…
Report From the OP, March 12, 2022
I’m still “out and abouting”, so you get another report. Of course, if gas prices continue to rise, I’ll have to rethink things. It’s up…
Report from the OP, March 9, 2022

Sarah Hoyt has words about our current “situation”
Given the lady grew up under Communist (lite-ish) rule, I tend to listen to her on the subject. Read for yourself.
