So this story came across my desk, and I wanted to share it with you. It seems that in a town outside of Melbourne, Australia, someone found a lost sheep. Not a big deal, right? Well, that sheep had over 75 pounds of wool on its body, and needed a serious shearing. Let me explain.…
Read MoreThe brother that messed up my Tuesday.
Last year, I purchased a replacement printer for my home computer. It was a Dell printer that had scanning and photocopying capabilities, you know, like someone in an office might use. Last Monday morning, while printing something out, my Dell printer beeped that the toner cartridge was empty. So I did what everyone else does…
Read MoreThe Galloping Gourmet – the cooking show you forgot about
Quick, right now – name five TV cooking show hosts. Julia Child, Gordon Ramsay, Racheal Ray, Emeril Lagasse, Nigella Lawson, okay, okay. But does the name Graham Kerr ring a bell? No? Really? See, at one point in time, Graham Kerr was one of the most popular TV cooking show hosts, with a program entitled…
Read MoreWoody Allen’s early association with children
It’s hard to watch the HBO Max documentary Allen v. Farrow and see these stories that are being told.

At some point in time, Texas senator Ted Cruz is going to have to realize that he is an elected official in the State of Texas, and that he WORKS for the people of Texas. And right now, Texans are hurting. The recent snowstorms have overwhelmed the poorly-equipped Texas power plants, throwing millions of Texans…
Read MoreWait, Kenny Omega is now WWE Champion??
Don’t get me wrong. Kenny Omega is one helluva wrestler. He has powerful strong-style moves that look more painful than they actually are. Trust me, I wouldn’t want to get hit with a V-trigger, or his “One Winged Angel” finishing move. I might need to call a chiropractor after the match. Kenny Omega is currently…
Read MoreI’m not letting Louis DeJoy ruin my Competition Season 2021.
Background. Whenever I need to make a lenticular “magic motion” print for Competition Season, my go-to source is Peter Sinclair of Snap3D.com.
