All the advice about friends: “If you can count on one hand your true friends, count yourself lucky.” “Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies.” Or my favorite update to that one: “Friends help

Occupy MY Street

OK. I have tried to read both sides of the OWS. To a certain extent, I appreciate the fact that OWS does NOT have demands, or leaders, or anything resembling a real protest. Wait, I mean a real desire to leave until change is effected. But some of the crap I’ve seen? The YouTube videos [...]

Khaddafi is dead

“Sic Semper Tyrannis”. This is what John Wilkes Booth is supposed to have yelled when he leaped from the balcony at Ford’s Theater after shooting President Lincoln in the head.

No More Tin Grin

Finally got the braces off. Boy, do my teeth appreciate that! I still have to wear a retainer at night, and I have a permanent one put in my lower teeth, but it’s way better than those brackets and wires. After nearly 50 years of crooked teeth, I finally have straight ones. I don’t mind [...]

What does “Circle” mean?

Today, there was a car accident out on the main road near our house. The accident took out a utility pole, including downed wires. I do not know the state of the driver, but I sincerely hope he was not badly injured, or that he was treated quickly and successfully. In any case, the accident [...]
