    Pet Peeves

    What can I say? It's all part of being a kid. But unlike my older brother, who would take things apart, and when he put them back together, he always left out some of the parts. Then I had to fix them the right way. My Dad was one of those Jack of all trades type guys. Since my brother liked to...

    Message Count

    They're not important at all. But some people think they are. But maybe I'm missing them, but I don't see an individual post count display anywhere. For which I say "Thank you, Ken!"

    Pet Peeves

    I broke my bed. After that it was like sleeping in a canyon. But hey, at least there was no danger of rolling out of bed.

    The Two-Income Trap

    I used to believe that my solution was cheaper. Don't get married, as just that alone costs too much. Then there's the cost of being married. An occasional date costs a lot but a lifetime of expenses is worse. Then I met the love of my life and suddenly, none of that mattered anymore.

    Roll Call

    I don't know Martin. I was just making a casual observation.

    Anyone Listen To You Tube Doctors?

    I agree with you there. My old Neuro up in Eureka told me to not waste my time anywhere else. Unless you just have a thing for Ducks. 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🪿 One night I woke up at 5:00a and Cindy was watching Brain Surgery.

    That happens after you have too much fun in the wee hours of the night. 😇

    Marijuana will now be studied for more medical use

    I was never into LSD or anything like that. When I was 14 (1970) I went to the city park for a tank painting party. (Vietnam protesters kept painting the tank pink.) I sat down with some friends to smoke a little weed, and someone got some sandwiches and I ate one. I found out later that the...

    So that's how the No Jumping on the Bed rule came to be. I never did that... 😇

    What's for lunch?

    My wife Cindy used to do that with Tri Tips... The first time, I took one bite and told her she was keeping up with her Clam Beach Campsite Cooking reputation just fine. (That's where she set the hook and reeled me in with campfire Beef Stew.)

    Will He Pull it Off?? (Greenland)

    I'll gladly claim the title of Liberal, but thank you for not calling me a Democrat! 😁

    Happy Birthday Axel Slingerland!

    It was, but over the years it was cancelled a number of times due to low ticket sales. But for those years they had no headliner that would drive sales up. So I can understand why they cancelled. It costs a ton of money to put shows like that on.

    How's the Weather Where You Are?

    46° outside now, 10:30p PDT. Our high today was 63°. Warm, for a winter day around here. I am not looking forward to the heat that is coming in just a few months to Kern County. When we first arrived here, after 100° plus days all summer, when fall came we laughed at people dressing for winter...

    Happy Birthday Axel Slingerland!

    Robert Cray played at the Blues by the Bay Festival in Eureka several times while I lived there. I saw his show every time he came to town. It was held in a place on Humboldt Bay called Halvorsen Park, and on a bluff across the street, sitting up about 40 feet or so higher than the park was the...

    Happy Birthday Axel Slingerland!

    Great song! And after it finished playing, "I'd Rather Go Blind" by Etta James played. Oooh, I love that old blues.

    Happy Birthday Axel Slingerland!

    Me too. I've had skin cancer so many times I have think hard to remember them all... But if I have forgotten any it ain't like I'm all broken up about it. :)

    Happy Birthday Axel Slingerland!

    Oh, Cool! I'm 30 again and I still remember all the stuff I learned from my 80 year old Grandmother about how to run a business. No... Wait. That's was just my imagination running away with me. :LOL:

    Happy Birthday Axel Slingerland!

    I stopped thinking about run of the mill yearly birthdays a long time ago, but 70 years is seven decades. That me sit back and think "WTF???" On the plus side, at least I did not get Colon Cancer two days before my 70th birthday like in 2016 when I turned 60. I've had Skin Cancer several times...

    Pet Peeves

    I have friend who is a NPS Ranger up in Yellowstone, and he is always saying that. In 2016, a father and son put a Bison calf in the back of their car and drove it to a Ranger Station because they believed it was cold, leading Rangers to ticket them for interfering with wildlife. They were fined...
