Geezer Alert!
But I’m Feeling MUCH Better Now
West Virginia almost became a safer place to live today. Our state legislators had passed a bill with large majorities clearing the way for our citizens to freely carry concealed weapons.

Gorillas making meaningful music. No wonder Dian Fossey liked to hang out with them. There are so many […]
Sunday Silly – NOT Quite

Long aside: Snow storm knocked out our satellite internet AND we were without power for a time. Even didn’t have DirecTV, etc. My back-up generator did the self test on Wednesday just […]
