Does SecDef Austin’s “Diversity and Inclusion Agenda” constitute prohibited partisan political activity?

Vaccination against “the Coof”

Starting with the bottom line: I will likely try to get vaccination against “the Coof” as soon as it’s generally available, and – since there are 3 likely candidates – I’ll probably attempt to find the Oxford/AstraZeneca version (https://www.bbc.com/news/health-55040635) for reasons outlined below. Let me open the body of this post with two caveats: It’s a long post, with references, […]

The Sayings of Little Dickey Carroll

“You don’t always get what you pay for, but you very seldom get what you don’t pay for.” “People say I’m arrogant. That’s incorrect. Those who say that are just jealous because I’m better than they are!” OK, OK – I stole this one. But it’s pretty much spot on! “People say I’m sarcastic. I’m not sarcastic. I just have […]

The Saga of Bob and Bubba

This particular tale has been bugging the heck out of me to get written for well over 2 years, and I’m finally yielding to the pressure.  Any relationship between the characters and events in this fable and any persons and events in real life are strictly accidental.  The events depicted here are not beyond the realm of possibility, and if […]

An Afternoon at Carnival – the Run-up to Mardis Gras

We arrived at the Aviation Arbor RV Park on Naval Air Station/Joint Reserve Base (NAS/JRB) New Orleans, in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, about Noon on Thursday February 8th, having taken a couple of days to work our way down from Hot Springs, Arkansas. The previous evening we spent the night at the Eastbound I-10 Milepost 2 Mississippi Welcome Center, having been […]

Brew Review – ColdFire Brewing – A Gem in Eugene!

Location:  263 Mill Street, Eugene, OR 97401 Date of Visit:  Sunday, March 5, 2017 http://(http://coldfirebrewing.com/) As noted elsewhere, we started off TJLDC Journey #2 (off to Arizona in search of Snowbird Properties) with a stop at our younger boy’s house in Eugene, Oregon to visit David, Janet, Olivia, and Carter Wichman.  I’d asked David to suggest a local craft brewery […]

Mea Culpa – Scriptum est opus proxime…

So I’m nine (nein?  That sounds too much like denial!) and a half weeks into Journey #1 – aka TJLDC1 on my Good Sam Club Trip Planner – and I have only written two sentences of the first paragraph of my blog about the first stop East of Vancouver, BC.  Bad LDC!  Bad Boy!  As the heading says:  It’s my […]

Dream Boat…

Well, I went and did it! I pulled the trigger on my dream boat! Since I blew the last of the kids’ inheritance on the Tiffin Allegro 36LA, I’ve now indebted them to the hilt if I don’t get this sucker paid off prior to my demise! The means of returning it to the Pacific Northwest are under review. Should […]

The Only Bite

Big Brother Mitch Carroll, who is one of the top guides at Waterfall, THE premier Alaska fishing resort, owns a very nice 27′ SeaSport Pilot named Bleu Belle that he fishes out of Puget Sound and surrounding waters.  He was kind enough to invite me, along with friend Jim Hay and Jim’s nephew Jay, who recently retired from the Navy, […]

One of the Hardest Parts…

One of the hardest parts of visiting the treatment center every day is watching the kids, who are at much greater risk than I, and who have a whole life ahead of them that might be cut short. Seeing a 4-year old who doesn’t want to go through “those doors” but then sucks it up and dashes through, or the […]
