I think this is important
The migraines have been co-operating lately, so I’ve been much more physically active. And then yesterday I wrenched my back vacuuming the house. So today…
Everyone keeps doing what I’m trying to do, but better
And honestly, we’re all better off for it. John Wilder has a remarkable piece on The Jab and all the possible negative outcomes we know…
Just when I thought I had nothing to write about

Life in the time of Wuflu, Part 39: Oh, the things you will see

I had hoped to allow the “Life in the time of Wuflu” series to die a natural death, but it seems events have me outmaneuvered.…

Life in the time of Wuflu, Part 34: This just in
So, two things today, in order of occurance. Thing One: Today was “Haul Trash to the Dump Day”. I know, it takes so little to…
Life in the time of Wuflu, Part 33: Impatiently waiting
