I hope some of you are getting a look at the aurora. This is the strongest storm to hit Earth in nearly 20 years, and the display is apparently reaching as far as the southern US states. Another blast was expected last night and will hit today and tomorrow.
We were blocked last night. Today is...
I made a fascinating archeological discovery last week. My in-laws are preparing to move into an assisted living development, and my wife and her sister are helping them downsize the mountain of crap they've collected over the years, some of which was stored in the sister's attic. Wife brought...
2023: Aaron Rodgers, expected to be the savior of the NY Jets, didn’t make it through the first series of the first game before being injured.
It’s going to be another season of war by attrition.
Meta has introduced their Twitter-like app ‘Threads’, and signed up 10 million people in the first 7 hours. If you’re already using instagram, you can sign up with a few clicks with the same username and automatically follow the same people. That gives Meta easy access to over 2 billion people...

This could be fun. He has an army, and it’s better than their army. Putin had better stay in his bunker.

Quite a shock, or not. It’s all about the Benjamins. All lawsuits are dropped. They’re merging in the Euro Tour also. This frees up a lot of weekend time for me; I refused to watch LIV, and I...

I know 79 years is a pretty good run, but damn, now I feel old.
“The Washington Post published an obituary for actor Tony Dow based on a post on Mr. Dow’s official Facebook page and after confirmation by his manager. His family now says they reported Mr. Dow’s death in error.”
Every news outlet reported his death. Apparently he’s doing a reverse Francisco...
With apologies to Rodney Dangerfield. Chris Rock did what they pay him to do, and Will Smith goes full idiot. I guess the ratings will be up next year.
Disappointed that I didn’t make the list:

Hillary’s response is priceless:
"I want to thank the Russian Academy for this Lifetime Achievement Award."
Notably absent is one orange-tinged useful idiot, who claims to...

Interesting decision. His brother is going too. Maybe it a “triple dog dare” thing. I’ll be...

So when a dad blows himself up when preparing an explosive device for his child's gender reveal party, should he be eligible for a Darwin Award, since he was still able to reproduce? Or does the impending birth disqualify him...
How did I not know that this was a thing? We did our Valentine's dinner last night, because we're busy all weekend, and I had our Echo playing chamber music. Out of the blue, I hear Zeppelin's crowning achievement done with violins and cello. It was a bit too dramatic for a romantic interlude...

"The Hammer" / "Hammerin' Hank", still the real (non-PED) home run king. Underrated as a fielder and baserunner. Active in civil rights causes most of his life. It's been a...

UFB. At a “candidate forum” that replaced the debate he refused to participate in because he wouldn’t take a COVID test, Graham said, “If you’re a young African American, an immigrant...

No word on whether Mexico is paying for them.
