Thoughts and opinions with a Southern point of view
Good morning, y’all. Another beautiful day in the mountains. So beautiful in fact that I didn’t mind accompanying Mulva on her daily pilgrimage to the Walmart. We were lucky enough to be babysitting little Trey today. We took him along to see if there was some new goo gaw or bauble that he might be …
The Republican Debate last night was a calmer more gentle version of the sideshow we’ve come to love. In fact, it was a more gentile debate when compared to their Democratic counterparts. I guess I’m just being silly by pointing out that we’re down to four white guys as the “Final Four”. It looks like …
Good morning, y’all. I feel Spring is officially here. I am holding in reserve the right to change my opinion should April bring its occasional snowstorm. Looking out over TackyToo from the office here in the Rec room, it is rejuvenating to see the buds starting to pop through the ground. It is fun to …
Good morning, y’all. While being ill this past week or so, I’ve reflected on the frailty of the human condition, mine in particular. It seems so unfair that something so small that you need a microscopic to see it could bring a man of my size to the fetal position. It’s not just the physical …
Good morning, y’all. Modern science has brought me back from near death once again. I can even climb the steps in the Rec room to the second floor without collapsing in a ball of convulsing coughing. I don’t know who discovered antibiotics, but his time on Earth was well spent. I hope his or her …
I am reminded of the phrase, “I’m not a real doctor, I just play one on TV”. We once had a President like that. The worst President of all time, George W. Bush, was so poorly equipped to be the leader of the free world that his handlers should all be prosecuted for product fraud. …
We all know there are sounds that are of such a high frequency that the sound is above what human ears can hear. An example of something that produces a sound that can be heard, but not by human ears, would be a “dog whistle”. Now, whoever came up with the idea of marketing a …
Good morning, y’all. I’m still down, but not out. My head cold has attacked my lungs and left me with a bark that rivals the Hound of the Baskervilles. It is a deep bark, benefiting a man of my stature, and if I could control it, it would be an excellent defensive tool. As it …
We’ll use a “subtle shift” as a watchword for our discussion of America’s worst President, George W. Bush. If it is the purpose of the government to spend the people’s money, and we eliminate the somewhat subjective viewpoint of who the money should come from, we are left with the subjective viewpoint of how the …
Good morning, y’all. Dang, it’s cold, and I seem to have caught one. The winds have died down a bit, but it’s still dropping below freezing at night. I’m thinking I may have breathed deeply of an allergen while trying to catch my breath from the shock of the cold air hitting exposed skin. I’m …
