Blast from the past
So, we’re all tired of reading the news, freezing our collective asses off, and generally enduring dickdom. So I’m going to wax nostalgic today. Way back in 1988, I didn’t live in Colorado. I lived in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. My family had fallen upon hard times (sort of a repeating theme with…

Some Scenery for a change
I’ve been a little lax about this. Too much going on, all that good stuff. So, let’s look at pretty pictures, shall we?

Snow!
Click here to read my prompted post about old computers! You’d never believe this, but it’s snowing again. So, since nature is being a dick, allow me to share the depths of her dickdom. All of these pictures are from the CDOT website. To be fair, at least it’s moderately pretty dickdom, and not in…

Five things to do for fun …
and a plug for a good friend! List five things you do for fun. I’ve had writer’s block, or more like writer’s lack of time. School’s started, and I’m still working at home. These are in no particular order. Before we get to the goodies, I want to shamelessly plug a friend of mine. If…

So WP offered me this today.
If you could un-invent something, what would it be? A lot. What WOULD I un-invent? I’ll start with Doordash and Grubhub, and other delivery platforms. When we were kids, it was a big deal to have food delivered. Even bigger, since we lived 22 miles out of town and couldn’t do it unless we were…

Insomnia
When I was sick a while back, my sleeping schedule got altered. Normally, I would hit the hay around 11pm and be up around 7. But then it got twisted. Now I fall horizontal around 8pm, and wake up .. 2-3am. I know there’s ways to fix it, but… why? This time of night, the…

Cold!
Did it get cold where you are? It did here, and it was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in all my years of living in Colorado. It wasn’t even the extreme cold. I’ve been in extreme cold before, and it just doesn’t faze me. Put on more layers, and we’re good. And that was…

Even more “Darn You Kids!”
The Phone Company I’ll bet some of you remember when the phone company was Ma Bell. You got your phone bill from [your area] Bell, probably had a rotary phone somewhere with an actual, physical bell in it. We can debate the merits and downfalls of the great deregulation all day, and at the end…

Sick
Well, once again, nature has turned out to be a dick. We’re both knocked flat with what we hope are colds. She’s of the opinion that ‘ignorance is bliss’, and after reading the instructions for the covid test, so am I. I live out in the middle of nowhere, and if I need to stay…

Ah, the holidays
And, like that, I’m out. I guess I’m just good on holidays. Every year, the Christmas season seems to start earlier and earlier. Now there’s ‘Pre-Black-Friday’ sales. And this says nothing about the people who have to work during this season. I’m not big on giving gifts to people that already have stuff. I want…
