Just finished a re-read of a great novel … Robert R. McCammon, should look him up. Writes big epic fiction, lots of immersive fun. “They Thirst.” “Swan Song.” Etc. Latest … “Speaks the Nightbird” about witchery in a small, emerging New World township, pirate’s gold and Jack One Eye (not what you think, you dirty …
Yuck
Methinks me should never have been a parent. Grossly … obscenely … unqualified for the job. And I thought I was in the clear, that I’d made it to the milestone, had always promised self, “Self, people over [age X] are too old to be parents.” Achieved age X, no kids, thought, “Good job, Self.” …
Shifting the Synergistic Dynamism to Align Dynamic Synergies … Right!
Watched a podcast recently and the guest was asked, “What is the most common financial mistake young people make?” and this pontificating genius replied, “Failing to contribute to a Roth IRA.” Yes. What? No. Giving off some serious Lumbergh vibes, looking for the cover sheet on those TPS reports … not so great. This guy …

Stupid is as Stupid Does, or the Interminable Wisdom of Idiots
The deplorable MTG asked via twit that her followers(?) join her in prayer to end abortion in the US. She might as well pray for infertility of all women in the country while she’s at it. Only pregnant women need abortions, for a myriad of reasons, some of which are for convenience, some of which …

Debt-Slave v Debt-Free
Just saw that an auto loan is currently cheaper – interest rate wise – than buying a home. Specifically – 5.85 percent v. 7.09 percent. WTAF(udge)? What sense does this make oh none at all glad we cleared that up … A young woman on the Toks of Tik confided that her grandmother gave her …
Hot Deep Fried Grease
Discovered a wonderful new kitchen appliance. A little about me … I like tools, and guns, and trucks, and dogs. And Half, most of the time. And theKid, always. Anyhoo, theKid offers up ideas on the regular because … y’know … kid, and most of those ideas involve spending when I should not but can’t …
Oliver Anthony, nee Chris Baby … Keep Strummin’
Now that’s what I call music. Wasn’t paying much attention to all the hullabaloo and fervor – or “sturm ‘n drang” per Tim Gunn — around this guy, saw a clip on Weasel News or some such then did the search on the Tubes of You … “Rich Men North of Richmond,” indeed. Dare I …

Oh, Donny Boy
Whelp, Half predicted it way back in 2016 … said Drump was going to be a 2x prez. I, of course, pooh-poohed the notion, said America ain’t that crazy. I also said if Half and other half did not breed prior to fourscore less eight then there would be no offspring. Shows you/me what I …
Look At The Blood!
Half called me “Multiple Miggs” the other day. Methinks some would find that offensive. I, however, thought it was hilarious (“I bit my wrist …”) There is truly someone for everyone. Unless, of course, you are an MF. Saw not one but two different reports of DomVi between semi-lesbian couples, and methinks it begs the …
OK, so …
… the Montgomery Boat Brawl, c. August 5, 2023. Am I wrong for enjoying this to the extent that I am/did/will forever? People were harmed, peace was disturbed, arrests were made, and I laughed, and laughed, and laughed. Rather than a shot across the bow, a jaunty flip o’ the cap. The Ice Cream Social …
