OVERSTOCK CLEARANCE ON THE WEAPONS AISLE

Overstock clearance is a common marketing ploy. Who doesn’t like a good deal in life? Get a deal on car, a guitar, or a weight set and you’re good to go. Is it the same with ordnance? What do you do if you’re a ruthless dictator with an overstock of missiles aging out on an […]

WESTERN CIV 101: A BASIC SURVEY

March 9, 2022 by

Someone young enough, strong enough, and smart enough wanted more than what they’re getting. “More what,” you ask? Since this is a simple explanation I’ll keep it basic: more food, more clothing, more shelter. Or any food, any clothing, […]

FIRST YOU SCREW UP, THEN THE FALLOUT

March 8, 2022 by

When you screw up, you know it. At least you should know. Something is broken, or lost, or stolen because of you? After that the decisions start to pile up. Tell others what happened? Admit to your self? Or, pretend nothing happened, nothing to see, and move along. Which one are you?

LIVE THEATER WORKS TO EXPLAIN CURRENT EVENTS

March 5, 2022 by

Live theater? Please. I’ve got a jacked up bill with Ziply Fiber, an AppleTV account, and the most important: Three channels of C-SPAN, the kings of slow TV, which is just my speed. Why would I leave the room with the big screen? Ever? For live theater, I leave for live theater. Don’t you?

RESPECT YOURSELF FIRST? IT TAKES SOME PRACTICE

March 4, 2022 by

Try and respect yourself when you see others doing the wrong thing. But, maybe they don’t know they’re doing something wrong, and you don’t want to correct them?
