The National Poop Map

I debated whether to post this – or not, but since it IS Sunday…. The Poop Map. There is something about the notion that intrigues me some. “The scatological atlas, smiling poop emojis and all, was created amid a swirling dispute between downtown boosters and the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust over how to get homeless men […]

When Fish Fly

Sitting on the deck here on Pine Island I was sorta reminded of a Sea Story. We regularly found Flying Fish on deck while underway . I don’t know if Bubbleheads and Airdales ever experienced the critters, however, anybody that bobbed on the surface in the REAL Navy likely encountered this tropical phenomenon. Oh yeah, […]

Got A Bear Problem?

The story is here: Placer-county-man-punches-bear-in-face-to-save-his-dog Given that TAH is one of the places that exposes Vet Phonies I must point out that I did nothing to verify his credentials. “A foothills man came face-to-face with a bear outside his home. He didn’t run. He didn’t call wildlife officials. Instead, he wound up and punched the […]

From the Road, Two for Sunday

Spent a loooong time on the road this past week, and will be doing the same this weekend.  After today, I think I’ll have calluses on my  . . . well, let’s just say I’ll have some new calluses.  (smile) One of the good things about being on the road is the opportunity to listen […]

Just When You Thought It Was Safe…

Stumbled across this story recently and dunno quite what to make of it. NB: I didn’t fully deploy all of  my Google-Fu skills to completely confirm the story. Every easy search looped back to this, but it appears real. The Lede: Defense Secretary: 10,400 Male Troops Subjected to ‘Unwanted Sexual Contact’ Last Year. “Defense Secretary […]

Showering With Friends – Revisited

This is directly in response to Jonn’s post and the comments. As long as he allows I have a platform, and I already used it to amplify what I believe to be the primary issue here. Not strong enough – not aggressive enough, etc, etc. Not really relevant. You have, likely, always served next to […]

Country Music and Them Evil Gun Things

I’ll readily admit I haven’t really followed country music since it got all poppy, but this story is toooo good to leave alone. Still enjoy bluegrass and old country though. Almost by definition old “Country” music embraced a certain rural paradigm that included guns ‘n ammo as a part of life. However, some current country […]

Oh, Where Will It End?

NB: This is best suited to a Weekend Silly, but I might have hurt myself laughing so I wanted to share the pain. An old pal,  Susan Katz Keating, has a post up that takes political correctness to a  new, or a different, level.  Note: SKK is a professional writer (People Mag and SOF) with […]
