what would you do? my brand x car started showing me a red alert signal for “air bag” so I took it to the dealer for checkup. $1200 later, the car red light is still on, the car vibrates, and the hood doesnt want to open. I reported the issue, but I rather suspect driving a

I have come to a strange conclusion … anyone who cites Official Truth knows nothing of actual value. Anyone who cites poll figures as “fact” would not recognize a fact staring him in the face. Nd anyone who points fingers at others, likely is excessively digitized.

Bad engineering or Great Graft?
The famed Gaza Floating Pier cost $320 million or more … and lasted not even long enough to get real use!
A cost rate of over $100 Billion per year to do nothing at all?

Now … where do I sign up for that deal? I could use a few billion in spare

useful tip …
If your cup of coffee is bitter … add a pinch of salt!
Yes, it works.

I just read a post which said the most successful posts here are those which make folks angry or afraid … no wonder I do not get a million followers because I like posts with interesting facts, a sense of humor, and a good pound of respect for those who agree. Mix well, and

A lot of folks think of genealogy as being a sport of “finding famous ancestors” …but that is not what I think it is …

Genealogy teaches us that we are directly related to millions of people still alive! Going back even ten generations shows us we have twenty million or more

Eliminating all animal and plant life WILL SAVE THE EARTH!
What a wonderful concept! I want Gates et al, and the WEF to PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH! Yep! Those guys should save the planet by destroying themselves! Isn’t that what they want everyone else to do?

New book announcement! The book about Dracula’s couturier, Eleuthiere Wath, will be called “The Capes of Wath”!

One of Twain’s favorite words was Lagniappe … a New Orleans term for “a little bit extra.” I try to give lagniappe in most of my comments … even though my wife told me NOT to drink a second Hurricane in New Orleans …

Boston was made for jaywalkers … you did have to be careful around taxis, though …
If they hit you, they had to fill out two forms … but if they killed you, they only had to fill out one!

Reread “Arsenic and Old Lace” and realized …
I am related to the Mortimers and the Brewsters!
Would anyone like a cup of tea? I have no basement … but our canal has some friendly alligators nearby …

I often find that others remember things quite differently from how I remember them … and I suspect this is true of everyone. I suspect that it does not mean anyone is wrong … but it means I do not try to “judge others” as a result. This is how our brains work … we retain

The medieval dyer had to go on the woad again.

My Own Opinion …
Physical facts exist!
Height, Weight, DNA gender, etc. are “physically determinable facts.”
A person 20 years old can not rationally enter a foot-race for five year old kids. A person who is seven feet tall shoukd not enter a basketball game set for eight year

Special event: A manatee in our canal had two calves with her today! Not incredibly common!

Query: If the President of the US commands an ally to depose its government … Is the US treating the ally not as an ally … but as a subservient nation? And why in heck should any nation seek to be subservient to anyone as labile as Biden?

I find it amazing the numbrr of folks “asking questions” who only want the answers they are sure are correct. I firmly believe that such is an example of isometric thinking … that “actual thought” is a fearsome beast, in which many folks here have zero trust.

And most of them

May Fifth … celebrating a really minor Mexican holiday with four million US drunks …
And far too much liquor for mockingbirds …

Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo …
