At the suggestion of one of my blog readers, cp retiree, who thought yesterday’s blog post was of good quality, he suggested that the next time these phone scammers call and ask about purchasing an extended vehicle service contract, I should tell them that I own a luxury car. Specifically, a Lamborghini Gran Turismo Omologato.…
Read MoreHey scammers – Cross-eyed Johnson says HI!
I wasn’t expecting the scammers to call so quickly. But I WAS expecting the scammers. Sure enough, phone call. Looks like a local 518 call on my caller ID. But I know the scammers can spoof those things. For all I know, they could post a caller ID as 867-5309, and the person who answers…
Read MoreThe “Trump Tape” in Georgia and what didn’t get redacted
A piece of prior information. In the past, at least one of my blog commenters has tried to sneak in the name of the government whistleblower who brought to light Donald Trump’s “perfect” Ukrainian phone call. You know, the one where he asked the leader of Ukraine to find dirt on Joe Biden and/or Hunter…
Read MoreMy 2021 Resolution – Mindfucking with scammers
It’s been happening more frequently. And it’s irritating. In the past, I’ve railed against these companies that are trying to sell me an extended service warranty for my car. Sometimes they call two, three, five times a day. Telling them to go away is useless, they keep returning. Telling my phone company to screen them…

Read MoreTwisted Tea helps fight racism and bigotry.
By now, you’ve probably seen the video. But if you haven’t … here it is. It’s an average day at an Ohio mini-mart. One person just wants to buy a couple of items and go on his way. Another person (whom we will call “Jackass” decided to show off some liquid courage, and started shouting…
Read MoreLive (from 1975), it’s the Manhattan Transfer!
My unabashed love for the vocal harmony quartet Manhattan Transfer began in 1975 with two distinct events – the first was hearing their song “Operator” on Top 40 radio stations, and the second was watching their summer TV variety series. Let me explain. There were several musical talents that would have regular television variety shows…

I own an 80-200 f/2.8 telephoto lens. It’s one of my most durable lenses, I’ve owned it for nearly 15 years. Heck, it goes back to the days when my primary camera was a Nikon D70. It’s an adaptable little shooter, it has been with me through my ownership of a Nikon D700, and my…
Read MoreDeadliest Catch and the loss of Nick McGlashan
I’ve watched the Discovery Channel show Deadliest Catch for years. For those not familiar, Deadliest Catch is a docu-series about Alaskan crab fishing.
