There appears to be much hate for Georgia’s export of toxic waste in human format, ergo Meth Barbie, and with good reason. She (what is a woman?) did heckle a sitting president during his State of the Union address (but what Rethuglican hasn’t tho’ really?) and claimed that one Illinois elementary school got $5B in …
Breeding for Bonzo
When you don’t have kids, you’re incredibly self-centered. And when you do, you become even more so. Methinks: how could you not? There a little half version of you walking about in the world. If anyone has had a child after, say, 2010, methinks the decision stems more from hubris than the notion that the …
PLUG IT UP!!!
Got to praising JESUS the other day. Nothing unusual, except the extraordinary that HE is. {John 14:6} May have mentioned around these parts that truck was leaking … something something … rear mail seal … something something … and the estimates were in the four figures. Ew. Anyhoo, got to searching the innernets and came …
The Only Adult in the Room
I don’t get angry. I may be frustrated, or disappointed, or all manner of exasperated and disgusted, but … I don’t get angry. GOD told me a long time ago that I can’t fix anyone but myself, so let it (whatever “it” is) go. However. May have mentioned somewhere around these parts that theKid is …
Baby Jesus and the Bathwater
Andy Stanley is the son of Charles Stanley, of In Touch Ministries, late-night evangelical infomercial fame. Many consider dear ol’ dad to be a true follower of Scripture, and a pastor of the Word. His son, however, is an apostate. Methinks his own sexuality may have … tinged his outlook a bit, but here’s a …

Saw a CBN story from about a year ago … China is switching to digital currency to go along with that social credit score. That way, the Chinese Communist Gub’mnt can monitor/track all spending, every financial transaction, every purchase, and — if disapproved — can cut off the user’s access to funds immediately in real …
The Great & The Horrible
Know what’s equal parts horrible and great? Not knowing the prices of things, and buying them anyway. Not talking cars, or houses, or dunno, jewelry, nothing like that. Just the everyday stuff that winds up in the cart and then on the card and then on home. Instance: theKid has a thing for naan bread. …
Fewer with Less
Just finished a delightful little read about the pending collapse of civilization— “An Inconvenient Apocalypse” — and I must say … well done. Mostly, anyway. Even taught me a new word: “ecocide.” Basically, these two first-world, over-privileged aging white guys are proclaiming “game over,” and it’s time to find a new way to be. “Species …
Oops Might Not Ever Happen Again (Good)
There’s stat somewhere that says by 2030, 45 percent of US women will be single and childfree. Historically, across the human populations, approximately 80 percent of women reproduced, whereas only 40 percent of men did. Estimates for 2020 put women at about 3.8B women, and 3.86B men, or roughly 101.7 men for every 100 women. …

Thankful, Grateful
Didn’t get anything for Christmas. No matter. Not my birthday (heh) theKid and Half were well-provisioned, which is really what/who matters, and JESUS was likely born in the spring anyway, so … For a minute there, decided to dispense with the whole “celebration” of Christmas, felt it a little too pagan for its purposes, but …
