There are certain categories of goods that routinely go on sale and regardless of how much I cold afford, it seems silly not to watch for sales. Possibly just a habit from years of frugality. I...

Well, I did keep the pink bathroom tiles. Or maybe they are dusty rose. And also the harvest gold kitchen tiles. It's possible the preference for pink might be gender related.

I rented a small...

Those are nice little accents.

If I remember right, one of the rooms in the house I mentioned had shag carpet. I didn't think I'd ever see that again! My home was built in 1951 and purchased...

I'm hardly the fashion guy, but it seems odd to have floors that look like wood, but are just plastic.

This home was featured in the local paper as "architectural archeology". A full restoration...

I think I would prefer not to be embalmed and will have to consider that in some final directives. I suppose it's just a matter of time when we all decompose. There are legal requirements around...

I talked with a sheriff a month or so ago who had helped clear out old beat up RV type long term campers from a parking area in a county recreation area. One of them had caught on fire and caused...

There are a couple of cities here that have pilot or test programs giving a basic guaranteed income to homeless that meet the test criteria. Up to to $1000/month for two years is one example. Out...

Any more here in my liberal state the cannabis 420 celebration gets about as much attention as Earth Day, but the media had a few features and reminders. I took a walk in the foothills, saw some...

Morally, of course, but the devil is in the details. The homeless need incentives to change their lifestyle and there's both the stick and carrot to balance, although neither seems to work perfectly.

Because of issues around litter, human waste, crime, discarded needles, etc. I think that homeless should not be allowed to camp or otherwise occupy any public spaces or other places with no...

I see a lot of Teslas around here. Maybe not as common as Prius, but close. I get the impression they are affordable for the middle class now, whereas they were sort of exclusive at an earlier...

I don't see a new truck in my near future, but have been eying the little Ford Maverick. It's available as a hybrid, inexpensive, and about the right size for a city truck to haul furniture,...

I've not seen one in person, but it looks rather awkward in the photos. Maybe it drives like a dream.

I'm reading "Shadow Divers" by Kurson. It's the non-fiction account of divers finding a previously unknown sunken WWII German U-boat off the coast of New Jersey in the 1990's and the efforts to...

I've not streamed much worthy of comment lately, but I have enjoyed the Ripley series on Netflix. Filmed in sort of an interesting noir black and white format and a plot that draws you in. I had a...

Relatives aside, I don't recall many of my friends having working mothers. My childhood neighborhood was prosperous post WWII middle class building boom where the roles of stay at home mothers and...

My mother was a school teacher before marriage, but really didn't work after that. She answered the phone at my father's business just to get enough hours for social security. Among aunts and...

I like the idea of a legacy box and just started mine with an out of use small hanging file box.

A password issue I ran into once as an estate executor is if the person has added a second level...

We tend to assume that humans have free will, generally speaking. This was required reading for a college course and makes the point that we are hard wired for aggression. "On Aggression" by...

I've wondered if storing passwords in a little desktop digital wallet would be a good place to store pass words. It would be somewhat secure since you would need a password to acess things, but it...

Spinach, black olive, pepper and anchovy pizza, homemade.

Rumor on the street is that there could be an autographed Trump memorial Veg-O-Matic in the works.

Amen.

When the news showed a photo of him holding up the bible, I had a fleeting mental image of the antichrist. The value of his loser social media stock is also a great mystery to me.

I also had excellent benefits with a small fixed pension and medical insurance partially paid when took early retirement at 56. My work was challenging and interesting in glass is half full side of...

I wouldn't invest my life savings in precious metals, but have always though it wouldn't hurt to have a little gold or silver.
