When I refer to fringe benefits, I’m referring to the marginal benefit of politics and that it isn’t anything new, but certainly either far right or far left. Absurdly, we have a handpicked Supreme Court that is set to overturn an almost fifty years ruling by the Supreme Court in 1973, when Roe v. Wade…
Every once in a while, just as you think you are figuring life out and all it has to give you, from nowhere, you’re thrown a curveball that makes you stand back and ponder. It comes in many forms and can be something very inward or openly involving others. One such moment happened to me…
I’ve been watching with some humor at how many of the Trump prodigy are getting in trouble, under investigation, saying repetitive idiotic nonsense and just overall ignorant crap on a day to day basis. It makes for a good laugh in most cases, but there are a few that seem dangerous and deceptively following some…
This trip is turning out to be a pretty challenging one. We left yesterday and was pretty uneventful until about hour number ten. Drain Water Separator warning message comes on. If you don’t know what this is, well it is particularly important for diesel engines to remove any moisture that might accumulate in the fuel….
Like just about everything in the world these days, there is a great divide over whether you support Will Smith or Chris Rock and the Oscars 2022 Incident. As crazy as it was to see it happen on live tv, we shouldn’t be astonished that it happened. We all thought it was fake at first….

Do you ever wonder if the members of your family would have a relationship with you if you weren’t family? I often wonder that very thing. It’s not from a position of do they love me type thing, no it is more from a if we were not family would we be friend’s thing and…
As the saying goes, “It ain’t easy being easy”. That explains retirement in a nutshell. It is why many struggle with it and return to work. Some can’t find self-identity in it and rush back to work. I’ve even heard said to me, “I don’t know how you can stand to sit around and do…
