Great Shift

Posted on 02/04/2021 by leftwingsurvivalist

It’s hard to imagine that just a year ago, COVID was only just coming onto our radar. I’ll admit that I started off less than completely concerned about it. As things started to unfold, though, the true scope of the … Continue reading →

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 →

Recovery Mode

Posted on 08/15/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Thanks, everyone, for your concern regarding my finger. I went through a full antibiotics regime, and the infection has been gone ever since. Now it’s just a question of letting the cells repair themselves, and getting the swelling to go … Continue reading →

Fixing It

Posted on 08/01/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, rather, fixing me. I’m going to keep this short, unfortunately, as I’m experiencing a very slight, very local “sort-of” emergency. To wit, I got an injury–stabbed by a rose thorn–on my hand, and it’s infected, and swollen like a … Continue reading →

Government Showdown

Posted on 05/09/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

As I write this, on Wednesday afternoon, things on Capitol Hill have gotten a bit testy. (Well, okay, testier than usual.) The White House is refusing to comply with Congressional subpoenas, which is pretty much unheard of. The House is … Continue reading →

So There’s That

Posted on 11/08/2018 by leftwingsurvivalist

As one of the pundits stated, we as a country have stepped back from the abyss. It was, let’s say, a halting, grudging, shuffling half-step back, but it’s further from the edge than we were. The left has taken back … 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 →

One More Week

Posted on 05/16/2018 by leftwingsurvivalist

I had intended to get the post on the solar generator cart up this week, and then I sliced the h*ll out of an index finger, and typing is… well, “less than fun,” let’s call it.  It’s nothing permanently debilitating, … Continue reading →

A New Year, A New Plan

Posted on 01/11/2018 by leftwingsurvivalist

Happy 2018, and welcome back! I hope your holidays were pleasant. Mine certainly went well, despite an inordinate amount of work around the house. They were quiet, this year, and a bit of a time for some introspection. I had … Continue reading →

A Civil Tongue

Posted on 12/14/2017 by leftwingsurvivalist

Well, it was a wild ride in Alabama, wasn’t it?  When I went to bed Tuesday night, things were not only all but certain, but actually looking pretty bad–Moore was up at around 53%, with forty-some percent of the polls … Continue reading →
