As you know from many posts, I’m an island person. It has to do with my personality type, as my cousin likes to remind me of the Meyers Briggs test result of INTJ. I’ve taken other tests that support this and one of the strongest factors of myself is I generally don’t put up with…
Making America Again, reminiscent to some mysterious previous timeframe when whites overlorded all in this country. Are we not or are we certain it didn’t mean to go back to the political unrest of the sixties? It couldn’t mean seeking the times of Lincoln and the discord then with Andrew Johnson taking center stage upon…
On the day after the government and the US Air Force announced Ashli Babbitt will be granted full military funeral honors, I reflect and wonder what the hell did I serve this country for. A slap in the face for those of us that served our country without participating in an insurrection because some asshole…
For the better part of my life, when August comes around, I’m locked into really only one thing, college football. Mind you, I enjoy most all sports, but many, I half-heartedly keep up with what’s going on and then get focused come championship. But when the end of August rolls around, I’m fully engaged through…

Watching my morning dose of political media and hearing the reporting on how Trump is misdirecting the media, or trying to, to get the emphasis off of the Epstein files and the release of them. We have all seen the pictures of him chumming up to Epstein, but during his campaign he told his base…
Tahoe Days After three days in Washington visiting our oldest son and his family, we headed onto the third leg of this journey. We had such a good time in our visit and although our son was hard at work a lot of time, we maximized our time with him, his wife and our granddaughters….
We began our annual sojourn to Lake Tahoe with a little twist this year. We delivered a truck to a friend, went to see our oldest son and his family and then on our way, finally to Lake Tahoe, joining our other son and family for a week of hiking, wine tasting, boat rides, bike…
The nine years have been a whirlwind, and everything is circling in the air with no landing zone for the near, maybe distant future.
