And...it goes on. We're not supposed to return to normal (91 in the valley) until the weekend...

I didn't mean to diss anyone else's memories. However, I am a peculiarity. My father was born in 1895. My grandfather Self was born in 1860 and his father in 1822. When the Civil War and my family's role in it was discussed around the dinner table in the '40s and early '50s, we were talking...

I wish folk who throw "treason" around would look at the Constitution, where it's defined...

With his fading mental abilities, I think numbers just mean nothing to him. Even before dementia set in, he'd been dishonest for so many years, they'd ceased to have meaning. His accountants have revealed he just gave them numbers he wanted and said "Make it happen." He listed his condo in...

See my post about our weird vet carrier... :)

Over the 40 years I've been at this address, We've had uncommonly good luck with carriers and even with their subs. One long-term carrier originally lived far out to the north (Hazel Green, for those familiar with HSV), but moved up here and retired for medical reasons. He recently passed...

It's really scary to have a president who understands math that poorly. Three trillion is just words to him...

Wow! A couple of days with highs in the '70s, in August. We know the heat will be back, but a few days of respite have been really nice...

OT, but it doesn't deserve its own thread. Some of the men from Company E, in Band of Brothers, have written their own accounts. One is Bob Malarkey. After the miniseries, one of his earlier fraternity brothers commented that he'd spent four years in the house with Bob and never knew he did all...

I hope I don't have to go to that. I had an impressive response to proton chemoradiation for my SQEC. I'm still left with extensive scarring and strictures...

My first thought was whether or not we'd be allowed to bargain with them...

The next guy or girl will also be fired, if the numbers are not to Trump's liking. Nobody dared bring bad news to Hitler, either. They should be glad that they can't just be executed. Speaking of executions, CPB is closing down. The Republicans finally got their hearts' desire on that one...
