Just when you think you've truly seen it all...along comes something that just defies all imagination that you'd have witnessed it. As I was waiting in Julia's office car park to transfer Alex and the two puppies, I heard a huge crashing sound to my left toward the GoRaleigh bus stop. There's this guy in a high-visibility yellow jacket walking away from the US Postal Service collection box he'd just did a Hong Kong Phooey…

Listen all! This is the truth of it. Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring. And that was damn near the death of us all. Look at us now! Busted up, and everyone talking about hard rain! But we've learned, by the dust of them all… Bartertown learned. Now, when men get to fighting, it happens here! And it finishes here! Two men enter; one man leaves. Dr Dealgood --- "Mad Max: Beyond…

The motion to table (procedurally kill) Matt Gaetz’s motion to vacate the chair (vote Speaker McCarthy off his island at the top of the well of the House) just went down in flames.

This forces me to keep a…

Ever since the leader of the notorious mercenary group "Wagner" led a brief insurrection and marched his forces from the Ukraine through Rostov-on-Don and within 200 km of Moscow, it was only a matter of time before Yevgeny Prigozhin would be made to answer for daring to challenge the authority of President Vladimir Putin. If the reporting by Reuters, the BBC, and now everyone else picking up on the story is correct...it appears that one…

From the “Why Yes, It *HAS* Been A While…” Dept:

And the irony is that it's been slightly more of a while as I just got distracted with dashing off a novella for a friend who has many photos that she'd like converted to digital and offering my opinions on what someone looking at outsourcing photo scanning might want to consider. Don't worry, I'll capture the guts of that and clean it up for a post in the "Photography Tips" section as soon as I…
