I’ve spent literally a week obsessing over leaf blowers, something about 3 acres of mainly oak trees. But the yearning became particularly strong on Wednesday when I arrived home and couldn’t see the driveway for the leaves. The driveway I’d just raked clean the previous night of at least the same volume of […]

“You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man’s age-old dream — the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order — or down to the ant heap of […]

I think GPS is cool technology but I don’t use it much. Really, I have very little desire to have one in my vehicle or on my bike. The problem that I have with it is a simple matter of wishing to retain my skill with a map, routing, planning.. so many new […]

Having no other problems to contend with, hardline Islamists “insurgents” in Somalia have launched a truth in advertising campaign…

Scout desperately needs a home!

I wonder if anyone else sees the irony of Limbaugh’s being kicked from the Rams deal over quotes he never said versus the keeping of Obama’s Czars, like Holdren, over quotes out of their own books and speeches.
Pretty much a similar tactic to prosecuting Republicans for some trumped up charge a month before the election […]

I don’t disagree that top military brass probably ought not be out voicing opinions that oppose the C&C unless given a green light by the same. So I don’t really feel Gates or the C&C is wrong in instructing their people to keep their opinions to themselves.
But what I do find ironic is that […]

In the interest of full disclosure as well as new FTC rules I want to officially and publicly state that I receive no monies from anyone as compensation for things I write about on my blog.
If you want to help me rectify that situation, meaning pay me to write fluff reviews, my email is to […]

I’m looking at the extended 10 day forecast and there are already 30’s in the overnight lows and 40’s in the highs. So depressing….

Nothing to see here folks, move along… move along…

They must have been pit bull raccoons….
