A week into the greatest natural disaster in North Carolina’s history, the Feds are still trying to find something useful to do. Now mind you,…
Bear in mind that title should be read as caustic sarcasm. I’ve been listening, probably rather obsessively, to the W4HTP ham radio repeater via a…
They gave the job to their AI. This is what I got when I was invited to try to have their AI imagine “anything”. Shocked?…
First, thanks to all of you who have inquired about our well-being in the wake of Hurricane Helene. We were only brushed by the storm,…
I started a week ago writing it. It’s now saved as a draft, and hopefully, I’ll get it finished in a day or three. It…
(Apologies for the prolonged absence. Migraines again/still. I’ll go into that some other time, perhaps.) We have an ever-decreasing amount of privacy left to us.…
I give you Intellectual Froglegs. Sorry, it’s not an embed. Can’t seem to get that to work this time around.
It’s been busy around here. The hot spell has broken, thanks to Hurricane Debbie, and I’ve been trying to get some things done around here.…
Somewhere on this blog I wrote about how a civil war in the US would not look like the Late Unpleasantness, but more like Beruit.…
Yeah, I’ve been gone for 3-ish weeks. The migraines broke out again. Uncooperative weather and not enough sleep are the culprits, I think. In doing…
The Southeast Old Threshers Reunion has been held during the week of July 4th forever, so you know it it’s going to be hot. But…
I’m trying out a new theme. I want something substantially like the old theme, which has unfortunately had some serious under-the-hood changes at some point.…
There are a lot of rumblings about the Intertubz that Ol’ SloJoe was set up. The people who put him in office by hook and…
So…Mrs. Freeholder decided she wanted burgers and chips for supper. No grocery store chips in the house, but I’m a prepper. We have potatoes and…
Good grief. In a move that’s rather out of character for me, I watched the first hour or so of last night’s Presidential debate. I…
We don’t know when and we don’t know how. We can’t estimate the impact. But the Sword of Damocles hangs over us all, and that…
Today makes a week I’ve been working on this post. One way or the other, the Publish button is getting hit tonight. Starting with the…
It’s hard to imagine, especially for someone who grew up with a Dad who was a veteran of the war in Europe, that it’s 80…
(Sorry I’m darned near late to the party. Fuzzy this morning from yesterday’s migraine and then the Intertubz decided to take the afternoon off. It…
And if you don’t think it’s a war, you’ve not been paying attention the last few years, I’m tellin’ ya. The latest Intellectual Froglegs is…
…when you steal your inspiration, which is desperately needed because you still feel like crap most days, from a guy who is undergoing multiple procedures…
I’m coming off a two-day migraine, and I had a nice, fun post planned. The universe has other plans. Just in case you haven’t seen…
Actually quite a few visitors. In addition to the one in the image, I’ve had visits from the following: and 36 other IP addresses. J.…
So… Yesterday morning at 4:30 I woke up, jittery, shaking and anxious for no observable reading. I lay there a minute, taking stock. That list…
May is Stop The Bleed Month. Stop The Bleed is a program of instruction aimed at teaching bystanders how to save lives by preventing exsanguination–you…
Since I last posted, I’ve gone from feeling better and getting back to it to slowly feeling worse. For the last two days, Mrs. Freeholder…
A tractor? You bought a tractor? Seriously? Yes, yes we have. And while I can make a good, reasoned case for such an extravagant purchase,…
I’m making progress, but it’s slow progress. The NP at the doc-in-a-box declared this stuff to be sinusitis with a side of sinus infection, but…
It never fails that someone gets some variant of The Yuck at this time of year. This is a banner year for Yuck, as the…
We hung the hummingbird feeders Friday morning and saw our first customer yesterday. I expect it was a transient, just stopping in for gas and…
