The Common Cold

Posted on 01/30/2020 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, in this case, maybe a not-so-common one. It’s really hard to tell, without running some very specific tests (and probably a DNA analysis). What, that thing I went through a couple of weeks ago?  No. I’m not certain what … Continue reading →

When Things Get Cold

Posted on 12/05/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

As promised, I’m going to go very briefly over things to think about as cold weather arrives again… I recently had the opportunity to “camp out” at an SCA event. I use “camping” advisedly, because most of us were in … Continue reading →

When You Get Sick

Posted on 10/24/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Okay, a relatively quick one this week, because I’m out of town. (Not unexpectedly, but… well, it sort of snuck up on me.) This will be a little train-of-thought-ish, and springs from an idea I read about a couple of … Continue reading →

More Boots…

Posted on 10/10/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Well, re-boots.  We’ll continue the thread of the last post in a second, but first… Well, yep, it’s a full-blown Constitutional Crisis, at this point, much more than it has been at any other point. The White House is now … Continue reading →

Watching the World Burn

Posted on 08/29/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, well, the Amazon, anyway. And if Dear Leader has his way, likely the wilds of Alaska soon, too. And now, as I type this, he’s apparently considering “changing the rules,” such that the children of U.S. Servicemembers born overseas … Continue reading →

Cat’s Out of the Bottle, Djinni Won’t Get in the Bag

Posted on 03/28/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

The inescapable news of the last week or so is, of course, the Mueller Report. Basically no-one has actually read it yet, so I’m not going to spend much time on it. But “not much” is not “none.” Frankly, I’m … Continue reading →

Learned it in Kindergarten

Posted on 03/14/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

As I started to talk about last time, I’d like to explore the idea of what, when, and how much to share with others. I don’t think there’s a one-size-fits-all “right” answer to the question; at the end of the … Continue reading →

Almost the New Year

Posted on 12/20/2018 by leftwingsurvivalist

In fact, my next post will be next year. We’ll have a Democratic House of Representatives, with supoena power and everything, which will be–well, if not “nice,” at least a positive change. Hopefully we can do something about the daily … Continue reading →

Not By Yourself

Posted on 10/25/2018 by leftwingsurvivalist

Well, crunch time is almost here–we’re under two weeks to the mid-terms. This is it, folks! My next post will be after we’ve determined if we want to keep going with this marvelous experiment of ours (Democracy), or if we … Continue reading →

More Rain Falling

Posted on 09/13/2018 by leftwingsurvivalist

Even as I sit here typing, there’s rain–it’s been more or less constant for the last 36 hours or so. It’s Monday afternoon; I’m getting this down and “in the can” a bit earlier than normal. If you’ve been living … Continue reading →
