Once in a Thousand Years… yeah, right.(1) The Rumor Mill (that is, the News) has it that Southern California yesterday had a “once in a thousand year storm”. My memory tells me that that’s for the 2nd time this year, however — 4″ in an hour last August, only 3″ Read more…
Yesterday was a bad day. I believe future history books(1) will show 24 Jun 2022 as the day America finally died. The dream is dead. A government of, by and for the People has been replaced by a religious oligarchy(2), using illegal tactics, coercion, lies and propaganda to stack the Read more…
Not mine, I’m reposting it here. You know the expression; those who fail to learn from History, blah blah etc. Read this carefully. You are living in Interesting Times Learning to live in fear. After looking out the window I could see all the trucks and cannons go by, This Read more…

I try to avoid commenting directly on current political happenings, as I have no wish to further divide this already way too divided country (meaning America, in this case). Way too polarized, like we’re not a nation any more but two camps who just hate each other passionately yet are Read more…
World’s getting a touch weird, yes? Strange people have been “elected” to power (in many nations). New but otherwise fairly ordinary diseases have caused radical fashion shifts.
