And now, for something completely different…

I thought that might get your attention

Americana, pt. 7

I think it’s part 7;  I’ve actually lost track.  Anyway, tonight’s bit of Americana is a picture of part of my maternal grandmother’s family, circa 1920.  (And before someone gets cute in the comments, my ancestors are the two-legged critters.)  Notice the low carbon footprint lifestyle.

A feeble attempt at getting back in the game

A few links of potential interest: Animated currency route of travel tracking map. Feel like bailing out mismanaged union pension funds? No, me neither, but apparently Congress does. Don’t feel up to going to (or can’t get to) the doctor’s office for that sinus infection you’ve been putting up with for days?  How about an [...]

No, I haven’t written anything for quite a while, but, on the bright side, I haven’t given you “definitive” advice that later turned out to be wrong…

Yes, I’m still alive.  I’ve been watching a lot of TV in the evenings.  Lots of stuff going on at work.  I would lie and say I’ve been working on a really big essay, but I don’t really see the point.  I’ve been coming home in the evening, crawling into bed and dozing through the [...]

Black Friday

No shopping stampede for us here in the Ratlands.  I may go to the grocery store later (food is good), but as I hate crowds, no bargain in the world is enough to induce me to venture forth to a popular retail emporium today.  That, and most of the stuff that’s on sale today is [...]

Flashback

As is our custom, the Head Rat, the Rat Dog, and I went over to visit my parents this afternoon.  When we were getting ready to leave, Mom gave us a quart jar of home canned tomato juice.  I don’t know how it is for other folks, but for me, home canned tomato juice is [...]

Things I learned today on the way to somewhere else

“<snakk>” is not a recognized HTML tag If you cut the corner off of one of those little packets of butter-like substance you get at fast food restaurants and squeeze the butter-like substance onto your biscuit, it looks suspiciously like a bleached-out pile of poo from a dog with loose bowels.  Or a butter sculpture [...]

Winding Down

We’re winding down a bit here in the Ratlands.  We spent yesterday at my parents’ house in the company of my sister, brother-in-law and my nephew.  My sister and her family live in Lincoln, Nebraska.  Apparently the good folks of Lincoln (or perhaps all of Nebraska) don’t cotton much to fireworks.  Consequently the Nephew, who [...]

Quote of the day

From David Harsanyi: But once we start rationing health care, externalities will only become more of an issue. If we collectively pay for health insurance, then what is to stop the majority of us from dictating to the minority what it can eat or drink? What would stop Republicans — after they roar back to [...]

Commercials

I’ve just recently started seeing this Burger King commercial.  The whole Spongebob square butt thing is creepy, but I just can’t get my head around the idea that someone thought the phrase “booty is booty” was a good idea in an ad for a 99¢ kids meal. This, on the other hand is how you [...]
