  • Where the Rabbit Hole Goes

    It has been a long time since I have written a full political commentary. I stopped before the Obama Administration departed the White House because of the online anger received by both the right and left. If I said anything about Obama, Trump, or Biden, I found myself blasted with hate because the lens of…

  • Some Things Lurk

    It was one of the busier campgrounds I discovered a little too late, but I decided to set up my tent and stay the night anyway. That left me most of the day to hike the trails around Burney Falls. In the late afternoon, I returned to #37, my campsite, to find I had neighbors…

  • Child Games

    Having gotten a late start, I made it to Lahontan Reservoir as the sun was hanging above the west mountains by more than an inch. If I hurried, I would have enough time to set up my camp tent and gather loose wood for a fire. Once my tent was ready, I returned to my…

  • WP Developers, et. al., too Stupid for Own Smart

    Here’s the thing for me…I don’t want to make money off a website. I already get paid for reporting the news in two newspapers. I jus’ wanna share what else I write. Tried both Substack and Wix, and both are difficult for a non-computer/software/whateverthehellyouwannacallit sixty-something but came to a grinding halt when I became bogged…

  • Substack Still Subpar

    Substack is as difficult for me as it was when it first hit the market some five years ago. It is not a place I feel inclined to use because of the difficulties. While I did post something there, I could not publish it because there was no button to do so. It does make…

  • Soda Popped

    For the second time in my experience, I used a soda to defend myself and others. Because of it, I missed my radio shift as I had to answer John Law’s questions and fill out his report. Having forgotten to grab a soda pop for later, I stopped at the corner mart to purchase one.…

  • CDC Releases COVID Vaccine Data

    This is very personal for me… The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention have finally released its Proportional Reporting Ratio results identifying symptoms showing adverse responses to the government-mandated COVID-19 vaccination. These symptoms include individual illnesses: appendicitis, *Bell’s palsy, blood clots, cardiac valve incompetency, chest pain, **Kawasaki’s disease, myocarditis, pericarditis, pericardial and pleural effusion,…

  • Preacher Jones’ New Teeth

    Preacher Jones got a new set of pearly whites. That Sunday, the preacher could only sermonize for ten minutes because his false teeth were so painful. The Sunday morning next, he spoke for just five minutes. The third week after getting his new dentures, Preacher Jones went to the pulpit and preached for two hours…

  • Snow, Touching Memories

    New falling snow brings Comfort, brings quiet. Silence grows at each Flakes resting light. Sound echoes in mind Of lost childhood things.
