Naut's Fabulous Orange & Olive Salad

I thought the time has come to present you with another one of my fabulous salads. I like salads because they’re good for you, as well as for me, and also because I am lazy. They don’t take much time to prepare, although one has to be careful. As always, these are merely guidelines. Do your own... Sign in to see full entry.

More Green (?) Sex

So Corbin is making fun of our fine Canadian eco-undies and our bamboo bed sheets now - typical, sheeesh! Even though these...these genuine attempts at saving the planet surely make as much sense as the US Forest Service's attempt at saving the US sheep population, as the following story clearly...

What Are Friends For?

I have some rather strange friends. Some of them are so crazy, they would belong to the realm of fiction if they were real, and real even if they belonged to fiction. One of them wrote me a letter the other day. Hi, Naut [he wrote] You know I needed a new secretary. So the other day I hired one who... Sign in to see full entry.

Drive Like a Sailor...

This morning we had a heavy snowfall. It was coming down in buckets, if that’s what snow does, I’m not sure, but it looked like it. We also had some thunder rumbling away- it was almost like summer, except for the snow. I had to go to a meeting, and I had to drive there, in all that mess. Not that I... Sign in to see full entry.

Global Warming: Definitive Proof!

The debate has been raging now for decades, with ever increasing intensity! Political fortunes are being won and lost, scientific careers have been launched, others have foundered in the surging flood of fact and fiction that have portrayed Global Warming as the scourge of the 21 st century,...

For Men Only...

I offer this by way of an aid to every man who has ever, in a smokey bar, gently relieved of the day’s sorrows by helping himself to the pleasures created by the brewer’s art, hit on a curvaceous, sinuous, smoldering, nubile siren, with legs of a fawn-like Aphrodite, eyes like the wine-dark Aegean...

Truck vs Blogger...X, The Story of Nag and Bhag

Here’s a little diversion from all that heavy stuff in my other blog, which is guaranteed to cost me most of my readership, lol. This story was told to me by Shindi. Shindi, like the Delectable Sheri, is one of the women who came into my life as the result of the events detailed in my Truck vs... Sign in to see full entry.

More Feline Adventures...

With tongue apparently firmly wedged in her cheek, Julia recently posted a piece entitled “My cats are sooooooo dumb!!!” (Yes, that’s with seven o’s and three exclamation marks!) Which got me to reflect on my own experience with cats, and their amazing ability to train us, the humans they deign to... Sign in to see full entry.

A 'Wet' Post...

As some of my readers already know, I like the water. Not just in the form of aqua vitae, uisge beatha or the ‘little water’ beloved of Russians, but also in the form that can be sailed upon. And I have been fortunate to be able to indulge in that activity on different bodies of water over the... Sign in to see full entry.

From Fear to Insanity.... (With apologies to James Jones)

There are many fears stalking these lands, 'these lands' being the two countries occupying most of North America. Today I am speaking of the abject fear that someone, somewhere, is getting ready to do something outrageously stupid with something he has purchased from someone else, will hurt himself...
