Yesterday we took a look at something written in 2001 about some things that happened in 1991 or so. It was a hoot to look back and see what we we thought was important then, and the things that go without comment these days. The things included major social issues played out in an afternoon […]

Author’s Note: It is tempting to keep swimming deep in the swamp. This has been a remarkable week in the history of the mire; reeling from the outflow from debates, lurching through a Supreme Court nomination and culminating with the President and First Lady testing positive for the vile epidemic of COVID19. We told you […]

Lot of zeroes in the news this morning. “O”s and numerical oblong circles. If we did it in crisper style, it would be 10/02/2020. Not a great surprise, I suppose, but I was still mulling the nomination to the High Court, and the raucous argument we accepted as a debate this week. I thought things […]

OK, OK, sorry to drop into the old world. Today is the 30th of September, and according to the accounting system used by your Federal Government, the fiscal year ends tonight at midnight, and a wild new year of digital excitement begins. I think that means we will be on what is called a “Continuing […]

The cavalcade of political emotion continues its inexorable march across our perceptions. Yesterday, it was shrieking about the President’s taxes, and the religious extremism of the latest nominee to the Supreme Court. We won’t know the answer to the debate question until after midnight, though the script is being written in advnce to ensure accuracy. […]

This is a great week coming up! Swimming today, Weds and Friday to keep my energy for the thrills to come! I got an extra bag of popcorn out of the pantry in case anything breaking happens. There are a lot of possibilities. The themes for the big election now have a place to reverberate […]

Morning, All! If, like me, you are struggling with what is to come from the circus surrounding our election, you may have thought about what to do with your money. I did the logical thing. I gave up. I have no idea what is in the 401K stockpile, or whether I should ask my broker- […]

So, the rioting and occupation of the White House were mostly postponed on the politics surrounding the passing of a historic Supreme Court Justice. Except for the two police officers shot in localized “protests” against a grand jury decision not to try three officers for the “no knock” shooting of Breonna Taylor. Except, as everything […]

This is a view of the back pastures at Refuge Farm yesterday afternoon. It was a magnificent day, Autumn greeting us with a gentle cool wind, cloudless blue skies, and our buzzards wheeling majestically in the heavens above. Our editorial staff wanted to roll with a piece from Marlow that incorporates some of the deep […]

Author’s Note: Tough night. I forgot to take the evening dose of medication, which was subsumed by the newest news of the day. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg took leave of this life sometime during the afternoon, word being passed as the day waned in darkness. This will add more complexity to the already […]
