My strange job.

My strange job. I test wood stoves. No, not the safety test, the emissions test. Most people, even those shopping for wood stoves aren’t aware there is even an emissions standard for wood stoves. I cannot begin to explain just exactly what it is we do and most people I try to explain it to end up... Sign in to see full entry.

Where the elite meet to eat

Sarah Palin complained about the “elite media” in true Republican form. Before I delve into just exactly what that “elite media” is, let me speculate, that will endear you to that group much the same way zoo patrons love to have monkeys throw poop at them. This is not to take cheap shots at Palin,... Sign in to see full entry.

About Nostradamus, the Myans and the end of days

December, 2012 something big will happen, according to these ancient prophets. How big? If they have it right, only the end of civilization. You will hear more and more about it as the time draws near. I suspect every network will have their version of “The Armageddon Watch News Team” or something... Sign in to see full entry.

I’m tired

The battle with winter has left me fatigued. Too much shoveling has worn me out. Last night I was so tired and fearful my roof might cave in I wasn’t up to writing anything, except a check to pay for plowing my driveway, an exercise I had to repeat this evening. Yes, when you see in the national... Sign in to see full entry.

An old friend died.

I attended his memorial service today and was struck by the contrast of a memorial so close to the holiday season. He passed away December 23rd at his home. He was 5 years younger than I am. His brother is a cancer survivor and a lot of our friends and family seemed to have aged over the years.... Sign in to see full entry.

Last year I wrote: (Comments from now-the future- in red) New Year’s Eve will be or is now receding in our collective rear view mirrors and we grimly face the year ahead. What is in store for us? (If only we had known!) Will anything really change? (Hey, wait a minute, I wonder of the Obama campaign... Sign in to see full entry.

Golly Wally, can we watch Two and a half Men?

What would Ward and June Cleaver think of the hit sitcom starring Charlie Sheen? They would probably, well, er, uhm, make #2 in their pants! Can you see Ward making jokes about prostitutes, drinking and nuts? No, not the Planters variety, the crotch variety, specifically, male crotch variety. I just... Sign in to see full entry.

Nostradamus I ain’t

As the New Year approaches, get ready for all those “year in review” shows. We should also be mindful that the coming year will test us in ways we may not even know yet. Look for the debate over Global Warming to heat up in the rush to solve the economic crisis. It will be argued that it costs too... Sign in to see full entry.

A brief history of Santa Clause.

In the beginning there was no Santa Clause. There were only Adam and Eve and they were Jehovah’s Witnesses so there were no gifts. Soon after, they procreated, (which they did like pros, naturally) and then there were children who rebelled (yeah, I know you’re thinking rebels without a Clause -... Sign in to see full entry.

Headlines and thoughts about them

How we can protect ourselves from asteroids. I’m thinking maybe cover your umbrella with tin-foil, that ought to keep the sneaky buggers at bay. Man using blowtorch to melt snow sets fire to own home. Well, that’s one way to increase demand in the housing market. Didn’t he see the instructions, “do... Sign in to see full entry.
