  • Headline of the Day

    One of my favorite daily news stops is the New York Post, a paper I’ve read and followed for many years. I’ve become a bit annoyed lately with their increasing clickbait tendencies. But I offer them some forgiveness when they publish a headline lie this: That’s correct. Donkeys. Only in California. The story is pretty… — read more

  • Unusual Ad Timing

    I understand planning ahead. But Reddit’s advertising algorithms just tossed this one out a little early, don’t you think? As I type this, it’s 86℉ outside and the local temperatures will hit 94℉ later with heat advisories. Speaking of that, I don’t get the need for “heat advisories” today. 94° is pretty normal because I… — read more

  • Things I thought about or did this weekend or last weekend or whenever…

    I can still fabricate a network cable with standard RJ45 connectors and a hand crimper. I used the think the NFL was the biggest money-printing machine after the federal government. I am more and more convinced each week that the WWE is catching up with them. I really need to start culling through my photo… — read more

  • Superpower

    I was in the doctor’s office this morning, waiting and staring out a window, when an idea hit me. If I had the opportunity to request a superpower, I would want it to be the ability to find lost things. First for myself, then for anyone who asked. I guess I would have to have… — read more

  • The Burning RV – Tampa, Florida – 24 Nov 1991

    In November 1991, the New York Giants returned to Tampa Stadium (the old “Big Sombrero”) for a regular season match up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Giants defeated the Buffalo Bills in that stadium in Super Bowl XXV earlier in the year. As a long-time Giants fan living in Florida, I was thrilled they… — read more

  • Why, Google?

    This is a short vent about Google. I needed to get this out… Why does Google constantly warn you when your free 15 Gb of cloud storage is close to full, then make it so difficult to delete anything from your account? Yes, I know the actual reason why – the scarier the warnings, the… — read more

  • My Audacity mistake

    I discovered that when you rip an audio source using Audacity, then run the built-in exporter to create individual music files, you must remember to un-mute the source track before exporting. Duh. I ripped an old Magazine vinyl record (The Correct Use of Soap)) last week. My process is to rip each LP side to… — read more

We were joined by Kelly’s sisters Brenda and Mary, her brother Terry and their respective spouses Frank, David and Michelle. Our journey was supposed to begin with a couple of days in Venice,… — read more
