As the World Burns

War, conflict, and chaos around the globe concerns me greatly. We are living in the most volatile time in history, next to the American Civil Ware and World War II. Actually, we shouldn’t even try to compare the chaotic insanity that is now to ANY previous infamous historical conflict period. This one stands alone folks, this one is very different. The entire world is being turned upside down…

Spring, Eclipse, Easter...

March has us sloshing in our galoshes here. It’s been raining part of just about every day lately. The temps are climbing too, averaging 40+ days now. My daffodils are up about 6″ and starting to get buds, Lillie’s are starting to rise, as are bearded irises. The forcythia bushes have tiny yellow buds, looks like we may have a better flowering year with them this season. Last year was ok, but…

The Train Wreck is Almost Complete.

Trump and MAGA are in literal and virtual tailspins; freaking out mainly over money today, but also over court cases, SCOTUS rulings, the newly corrupted RNC and Mara LaGo having to be sold…and bought by Taylor Swift to be a combined LGBTQ Resort and a Planned Parenthood mega center. (I just, but that would be funny!) Our Congress is a complete and utter laughable DISASTER fueled entirely by…

Looking Back

Year 2023 I was looking at some numbers for this blog, I guess they track your views and stats. I’ve never paid attention to that stuff. I just come here to write and get shit out of my head. Anyway, I think it’s far past time for me to update the about me page! I have been on WordPress.com for over eleven years now, the original about me post will remain up, just know it was written 11 years…

No Politics Weekend!

It’s the start of February 2024 and that time of winter in New England that we who suffer with the winter doldrums try hard to look forward to longer, warmer and more active days outside. Hating cold weather and the lack of proper amounts of sunshine cause me to have a seasonal affective disorder that I must be conscious of that it won’t spiral into depression. While I do deal with depression I…

Trump's Approval Sinking

The truth is leaking out day by day about criminal entity Donald John Trump, a FORMER president. Seems that even during his time in office he was perpetuating FRAUD and breaking our laws everyday. He ignored our constitution’s emoluments clause and received over $8M from foreign entities, $6M of it from China alone. And he doesn’t deny it one bit. Even brags about it. He also avoided paying…

So Much Chaos...

Hello. Hope that you are safe and well. With all of the choices of hot topics to choose from I’m finding it hard to write. The wars – Russia/Ukraine and now Isreal/Palestine are so bloody and brutal. It appears that there are no longer any countries that adhere to the Geneva Convention rules of war as everyone involved seems to be blatantly ignoring human rights and civilian deaths. So much…

Dear Republicans...and others

This letter is for my dear friends and anyone else who is a voting Republican and who cares about our country and is concerned about the state of our politics at this time. We have ALL watched the spiraling of our political parties over the last 8 years. It is true that over the last 240+ years of our existence as a democracy we have gone thriough some weird and wild times; a civil war, the great…

Happy Birthday to my Mom...RIP

Tomorrow would have been your 80th birthday, but you died just four months ago, Mom. I miss you so very much. I think of you every day. I want to tell you things. I want to show you things. I want to watch you plant gardens and cook lasagna. I want to hear your laugh, see you do your goofy dances around the pool and hear your stories of growing up on Wilson Road. Yes, I miss you – everything…

Life Goes On...

Where do I start…? My not writing much for the past year gives me a whole shit load of stuff I could write about, but I’m not sure what’s really relevent to any audience I may have left out there for my diatribes. What’s interesting? What’s important? I can’t even tell anymore. I feel a bit fried to be honest. It’s been a LONG fucking year. My Mom died a week ago yesterday. I have dreaded…

Just an Update and My Thoughts...

Just an Update and My Thoughts…

My fucking pain level tonight is off the charts and it’s preventing me from getting comfortable enough to sleep. This is only the 2nd night in the last month that I haven’t been able to sleep, last night was the first. I had been sleeping very soundly every night, then bam! pain sets in and I can’t sleep and nothing is helping it. Oh! I just remembered my 10’s unit, think I will try that…

Twenty-One Years Ago

FIRST – 21 years ago, on 9/11/2001, I stood on the open 2nd floor of the barn we were building at the farm I owned with my former partner. I had just heard about the first plane and I thought that we were entering WW3. David and I climbed down the ladders and headed inside the house where we joined Nancy and watched live TV coverage as the 2nd plane hit the other tower. Then the Pentagon. Then…

Thoughts...

Thoughts…

The weather broke from the high humidity and heat to a BEAUTIFUL 70 deg. no humidity, nice breezy day! I got up and decided to mow my lawn – hasn’t had to be mowed due to grass not growing for lack of water and high heat, but with recent rain showers it had gotten long. I had a kid who would mow it, but last time he did it he did a shit job, so I didn’t call him today. Started doing it myself.…

Thirteen Investigations...?

Thirteen Investigations…?

We used to live in a world that had rules, norms and specific methods of doing things. In walks Donald Trump and ALL of that is out the window. This guy does everything possible to bring attention – mostly NEGATIVE attention – to himself, he encourages the hate against himself with his whiney rhetoric and insane claims that he is some sort of “untouchable” God-like figure that is beyond laws,…

Slow-motion Destruction of Life as we Knew It

Slow-motion Destruction of Life as we Knew It

White identity politics inside of the completely untethered Republican party – that is blatantly anti-democracy and bordering on being rebranded as a domestic terrorist organization is NOT a good thing for ANY PART of America and should NOT be allowed to continue it’s measured, a slow-motion coup on American government. If you think it ended on Jan. 6 2021 you are sorely mistaken. Jan. 6, 2021,…

The Hearings

Does it feel like the world has gone a bit insane? Taken a turn toward the dark side? Is just filled with so much hate and violence that reports on incidents grow every day. Pretty soon they’ll need TWO hours for the nightly news instead of a single news hour. From daily mass shootings to skyrocketing inflation, greed-bloated gas/oil prices, and most of us just barely making ends meet financially…
