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

Yeah, About That
Did I really say “no current events”? The problem with that is that they’re so… current. Sometimes, they’re even relevant. The recent U.S. Government shutdown was–well, not surprising. Not eye-opening. Not even an epiphany. More, I guess, of an additional … Continue reading

Readiness is a State of Mind
We’re getting ready for the first frost of the season! Have you converted your BoBs and GHBs for the cold? Warm clothes, probably a lighter, some matches, maybe a candle-in-a-can for heat (for the car…). It would be a good … Continue reading
