It’s cold and rainy and dreary…and I’ve decided that I’d be the world’s worst arsonist. It might have taken hours to build, but it is cozy. I did finally get a conflagration going in the fireplace, but it took an entire edition of the Wall Street Journal and most of my kindling to accomplish that.… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Friday Edition

Random Thursday: The Friday Edition
That was fun! I had forgotten how enjoyable it is to write about a variety of topics, thereby demonstrating that my shallow and uninformed opinions run not only deep but also extremely wide. So, let’s do it again, shall we, as the topics of the day are compelling. Before we get started on the subjects… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Friday Edition
Random Thursday (No…really!)
I can’t remember the last time I posted something to the Random Thursday category. Fortunately, my archivist is on top of things and tells me that it’s been (a) almost six months since I wrote a Random Thursday article, and (b) more than two years since I actually posted a Random Thursday thing on an… Continue reading Random Thursday (No…really!)
News You Can Use To Snooze

Random reporting on random events. Surely you’re not surprised.
Random Thursday: The Tuesday Edition
It’s been awhile since we’ve published a Random Thursday article [Ed–After reviewing this, it’s obvious that it hasn’t been long enough.] Trapping Fails Following a very quiet winter and early spring in which I actually contemplated the notion that I had trapped out the nuisance wildlife population in our immediate neighborhood. Lately, however, our game… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Tuesday Edition
Random Thursday
I’m sitting at home on my day off, listening to Beethoven because Alexa can’t find any classical guitar music in her catalog of “tens of millions of songs,” feeling sick and bored, so I figure, “why should I be alone in this condition…I’ll blog something!” Welcome to my nightmare. I went to the doctor this… Continue reading Random Thursday
Random Thursday: The Saturday Edition
A little of this, a bit of that – mindless web-surfing on a cold and damp Saturday afternoon reveals the following gems. I’m a sucker for multi-tools, although I confess that I rarely find a need to use one. One reason is that even though they’re generally tiny, they’re still inconvenient to carry in a… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Saturday Edition
Random Thursday: The Wednesday Edition
[Insert pithy yet winsome introductory text here. Please.] Every now and then, something happens that restores my faith in humanity and I think that perhaps there really is some hope for mankind. Then I read Facebook comments and come to my senses. Forget Ebola. What I want is a concentrated scientific and medical research… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Wednesday Edition
Random Thursday: The Tuesday Edition
I saw one of these today on the streets of Midlandtown: It’s a Tesla Model S (I think the “S” stands for “Sparky”), a $70,000 all-electric sedan that features seating for “5+2”, which, although it technically means that seven people can sit inside it, two of them have to be kids and they have to… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Tuesday Edition
Random Thursday: The Sunday Graphic Edition
I just received an official notice from the OBO (Official Bloggers Office) that unless I post something immediately, I’m in danger of losing my official blogger credentials, along with all privileges and appurtenances accruing thereto. After looking up “appurtenances,” I decided I couldn’t risk it, so…this. Currently in Midland, Texas, winds are out of the… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Sunday Graphic Edition
