Spiders and Snakes

Imagine flipping over a long abandoned dog bowl and being greeted by this bad girl: A couple of weeks ago I was asked to deal with a copperhead that had crawled on someone’s porch.  And, not terribly sure, but might have heard a rattlesnake a couple of days ago.  Been a while since I’ve heard one, so not sure and… (more…)

Mr. Bean’s Holiday

I took the boy to see the only less than R rated movie we hadn’t seen in town in the last month or so.  By default, it was Mr. Bean’s Holiday. I’m speechless on this one.  I don’t know how to describe it.  I am truly humbled to say I liked it.  It’s not side-splitting funny.  It’s not witty to… (more…)

Union City Bluer

Some kind of psychic karma must have been going on tonight.  No sooner than I posted on the Blondie saga, I read that Hilly Kristal had died.  Hilly Kristal was the founder of CBGB‘s, the venue that launched Blondie and countless other bands of the 70′s and 80′s.  Weird huh?

Union City Blue

When I was about sixteen or so, I did what pretty much every kid does, I went alternative.  About the only way you did that in rural Kentucky was buying mainstream music that just wasn’t quite the Osmonds.  Things were pretty wide open in those days, so radio stations and most tv really couldn’t quite pen down acts into very… (more…)

The Fallout from Miss South Carolina’s publicity

Miss South Carolina made the most incoherent statement of support for education imaginable.  I was made aware of this from a video on Break.com.  The poster headed the video with this: Brilliant Answer From Ms South Carolina A classic answer from Mrs South Carolina on why only 20 percent of Americans can identify the United States on a world map.… (more…)

Why US citizens can’t find the US

In this case, because we don’t have to: She better get up every single morning and thank God she’s stunning. Seriously, I’m gonna give Caitlin the benefit of the doubt here and assume she was nervous and froze. It’s not that she sounded stupid or anything, she just made absolutely no sense at all. I REALLY want to see more… (more…)

Jack McClellan doesn’t like California any more

OK, let’s say you show up in another state with no money, no job, and no place to live.  You do however, see fit to create a web page with instructions on how to find and molest small innocent children.  You then get busted hanging out around places where small children congregate, taking pictures no less.  After getting out of… (more…)

My bee-you-ti-full 66 convertible Corvair

I have referred to my ’66 Corvair a couple of times in the past here.  Particularly, my first road trip, and, my adventures in the wilds of Keno.  Literally arising from the ashes of a long ago fire, I found this today: That’s it peeps.  My actual ’66 convertible Corvair.  Man, I was SOOOO cool those days!

Slow news days

You know it’s a slow news day when you have headlines like this:  2 NYC Firefighters Hurt in Scaffolding Collapse at Ground Zero Site: Watch Live Now, I really don’t think I want to watch it LIVE.  In fact, I’ll just wish them well and not watch it at all.  That’s the end of that one. But wait, there’s more!… (more…)

You know you’re not living right when……

A flood picks your house up and sets it cleanly on railroad tracks. I think this is a good time for the Oldham family to get right with God.  I KNOW I would have to stop and ponder the meaning of this happening to me for a while.  However, for me it’s purely speculative how I would respond and I… (more…)
