06/06/20: Have Americans completely lost their minds – Defunding Police?

06/03/20: Are rechargeable wearable tech devices like the Fitbit Versa and the Apple Watch doomed to prematurely fail?

06/02/20: A nation of unrest … filled with a bunch of immoral idiots

06/01/20: Music Monday: Van Morrison–So Quiet In Here

05/28/20: If the end of bread is not called the heel, then what do you call it?
What do you call the two pieces of bread that bookend all of the slices? Every once in a while, a quirky story gets me thinking and talking to those around me. I once though everyone called the ends of a loaf of bread… »
05/27/20: Do not fall for text messaging scams targeting senior citizens
Acknowledge scammers and you become a “live mark.” There’s no way around it, living with smarphones and computers makes life easier and more difficult at the same time. Scammers are busy targeting all of us and… »
05/26/20: Later and more work than usual in opening the pool this year
It is never as easy as expected? I’m accustom to opening the pool each season now that I’ve been doing it for 20+ years in Cincinnati and another 5 or so in Hudson before that. Each season it should get… »
05/25/20: Thinking about the ultimate sacrifice on Memorial Day
We should probably come up with a better way to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country than a day off work, grilling out and giving momentary lip service? As I sat on the front porch on Sunday… »
05/24/20: Out and about, yardwork, flowers and more rain
It has been a slow start to getting our yard in shape. By now we usually have the pool open and flowers planned, but for some reason (probably rain) we are not ready for summer. Thankfully though, Saturday was nice most… »
05/23/20: Woodworking: Table Saw Clutter – a place for push sticks
The workshop runs smother when there is “a place for everything and everything is in its place” … to quote the printer and publisher Benjamin Franklin. On the other hand, perhaps the British are not fond… »
05/22/20: Where’s the strangest place to find wild mallard duck eggs?

05/21/20: Happy Birthday Ron! Did you know you had a doppelgänger?
