We all get these targeted advertisements on our social media feeds. It’s a royal pain in the ass. But sometimes the ads are intriguing. And the ads make me want to find out more about the product. Take, for example, this little blurbie that popped up on my Facebook page. I mean … that would…
Read MoreSo God protects a felon and allows a firefighter to die, Tomi?
Let’s get a few things straight before I dive into the meat of this blog post. Political violence of ANY sort against ANY elected official is not acceptable for any reason. I don’t care if you like Trump or hate him, I don’t care if you like Biden or despise him – no one has…
Read MoreThe Drive-In Speaker Project: The Malta Drive-In Speaker (with YouTube video!)
Okay, it’s official. I’m doing this, and I don’t feel like stopping. In fact, I really want to make more of these, and I’ve got at least four drive-in speakers – in various stages of restoration – going forward. Yes, I do. And as I restore them, this time I’m putting the drive-in speaker restoration…

Read MoreMariah May went from All About Eve to Sunset Boulevard in nothing flat.
One of the most captivating plotlines in All Elite Wrestling is the storyline involving wrestler “Timeless” Toni Storm (who currently uses a gimmick of a 1950’s-era movie star diva) and her protege, new signee Mariah May. From the start ,this plotline is everything you want in a wrestling storyline – great wrestling action, compelling story,…
Read MoreFor the first time in six months … the shoes match.
Last Friday, I visited my podiatrist for a regular checkup. He was involved in the team that saved my life – between podiatry, vascular and all the other medical professionals last February, they fought back a diabetic abscess and bloodflow issue in my left foot that nearly cost me my life. But on the road…
Read MoreThe Donald Trump $2 scam is back. Ugh.
I swear, not only does Donald Trump glorify in swindling and scamming, so do many others who want to use his name for their own little grift. Example. Last year, a company called “Proud Patriots” offered a $2 bill with Donald Trump’s face replacing the official portrait of Thomas Jefferson. And they sold this bill…
Read MoreA postcard from Iowa, 2024 edition
After last year’s debacle where my entries almost missed the entry deadline (thanks a pantload, FedEx), I made sure to ship my entries on the first eligible day. My best-ever effort at Iowa was three accepted, with two winning awards (and one, my lunar eclipse stitch photo, taking a first place silk in its category).…
