Saturday July 25 2020 Just to prove that I have neither the intellect or internal malice to be a criminal mastermind, I did another search today on the mystery China seed mailings and was surprised with one suggestion what could be behind this. I’m over here thinking botanical warfare or something when it might be … Continue reading 66. Scam-patties
Friday July 24 2020 In today’s WTF news, there are reports coming from Utah, Washington, Virginia, and Louisiana of people receiving unsolicited packages from China.

Thursday July 23 2020 I’ve been adjusting to these new glasses and I have to admit it’s not going well.

Wednesday July 22 2020 As we move through the headlines of 2020, two books come to mind that have stayed with me long after I closed the covers.

Saturday July 18 2020 A few years ago I completed my jury obligations for a wrongful death case and, after the trial, one of the prosecuting attorneys called to interview me.

Thursday July 16 2020 You know how you’ve seen movies like Trading Places [1983] that show the insanity of the trading floor of the NYSE?

Wednesday July 15 2020 Numbers are spiking in Ohio. The number of cases claimed are inflated. The coronavirus is a hoax. Okay, maybe it’s real, but no worse than the regular flu. It will disappear after the November election. What’s the harm in just wearing a mask for God’s sake? Even if it we don’t have … Continue reading 58. Everybody’s talking at me
