Death...living...and dying, in days of C-19.
We hupersons have always commented on death. In ancient classical times, here in the West, the philosophers had at it. During the Middle Ages, it was largely the church. Later, as in the Great War, the poets did so, but kept a certain distance from t
Physical work...good stuff...
My family of origin is of peasant stock, so from an early age, all were exposed to physical work. So much so, that higher education was somewhat frowned upon. Perhaps a little like "ackin' White", in some Negro cultures. So my Black relatives aver.
On temptation
Life is a series of constant choices. Adam was 50% of the world’s population when he took the first choice. The apple looked juicy and was being offered by the only one naked temptress around. And the world never got back on the right track aga
Hobbies
What's yours? I used to collect stamps. I started when I was 10. My mom went to see a lawyer about squeezing some more child support out of my dad and the lawyer asked me if I collect stamps. He showed me a small handful of stamps he tore off his
Taking the ex out to dinner. Finally.
Restaurants are just opening, after months, and we haven't been out to eat for some time, where we discuss the twins, property, health care, etc. Fun and support for the restaurant business. A local patriotic Pub. There's a sign saying, 'We shoot ev
Pre-wrapped meat over meat wrapped in brown paper.
Read this comment on another site in regards to fresh meat.Quote/I stopped buying the pre-wrapped stuff. A couple of times it's been bad after opening. I'd rather pay the extra 20 cents to get the fresher stuff in butcher paper rather than have to d

The humble BUMPER STICKER.
Mostly seen in the US and ooouuut there in Canada, eh? Two of my favorites here in the North Country are: 'Woman wanted---must be able to skin, gut and put up a deer, trout fish, have a noisy big PU truck, and a large dog. Send photos of truck, dog
The Peoples' (or at least the higher party members') Republic of China
The dilemma. A very autocratic and often brutal police state. Capable of suppressing the tiniest (Democracy Wall), and largest (Tienanmen) trace of popular dissent, and of bullying almost all neighboring states (Tibet and South China Sea). Yet capab
If the virus had a smell –
Non-smokers who are bothered by smoke – you know how far away you need to be from someone smoking before it doesn’t bother you. Stay that far from others. And we all know how long the smell of smoke hangs in an enclosed space. Non-garlic-eaters w
BOLO Palm...
If you watch TV detective movies, you know that BOLO is a police acronym for 'Be on the lookout' and in this case I'm issuing a BOLO for a Pennsylvania blogger who goes by the alias of Palmfrond. Like a day trader, it's normal her her to close her pr
US Rep. Nancy Pelosi's 3 TRILLION USD Plan for C-19 "stimulus relief",
passes the US House of Reps. on thin stark party lines, but hasn't a prayer in the US Senate, much less with the pen of our Brilliant and Dazzling President Trump. As always, the devil's in the details. Millions for artsy programs, and other politica
Boring tiresome
Impeachment Brexit. Trump. Boris Johnson. Let them go away please. I,m to busy . Comments please.

Just me.
A not so daily commentary on my life, family, hobbies, general musings and nonsense.
Money: Makes the world go square!
When I think of money, that I singlehandedly work for: All those long hours, exhausting, causing major migraines, that you suppress till your own private time. Money, Is just a means to an end, else it will show on your bank account, of what use
Are some people true gifts from God?
Of course if you believe in God. With that aside, what do you think? Are some people just so special/influential/inspiring/moving... I think some musicians are that. I have been listening to a lot of Shakira's music lately...not even sure
Military Men...
I shouldn't ask a question... do women still fall for men in uniform? Yesterday, I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and news articles and cleared my cookies & cache file. This morning, when I came to the CS main page, the images at the bottom were
Opting out of the virus panic should be an option
I don't understand why this virus is such a big deal. I admit it. Yes there's no effective treatment or cure yet. Fact remains the infection rate is low - the city it started in has 11 million inhabitants and no precautions were taken at first. Why d
A miracle---Free at last, free at last, free at .last.
My two day fast from CS blogging is over, and I feel like a new man!. More energy, better body odor, fewer farts, memory up, increased regularity, stronger voiding stream and much more. But the kicker is, big little Vierk seems to have gained a few i
Today
Today I am going to do the long overdue job of giving my bathroom (it's a bathroom without a bath) a good clean. I may be gone some time.
Corona Light...
This has nothing to do with Trump and ultraviolet. Yeah, I need a haircut...
Toilet paper update...
I made it to Walmart this morning 10 minutes after opening to do (what I consider) weekly shopping. Since this area is on a stay-home order, I got a few extra items to minimize my trips out... important things and not 4 bottles of Coke like the last
Someones Culture
While reading and doing some hard thinking about something today.I read a post about someones culture and such.About how that particular culture was or is.It proved to me that there are still prejudices in this country today. One of my older lat
How to survive life.
Song from Red Dead 2 game...May I stand unshaken amidst the crash of worlds. Best words ever. Anyone who is approaching or into old age has seen many worlds crash around them. Children have a view of how life is, should be and will be for them. And

In November 1999, five year old Elián Gonzalez was found in an inner tube floating at sea three miles off the coast of Florida's Fort Lauderdale. The fishermen who found the boy turned him over to the US Coast Guard. Elián's mother and twelve other e
On the spur of the moment.
Yesterday a friend of mine suggested to me that since weekends are boring why didn't we just load ourselves in the vehicle and just go out somewhere.He said that's what his parents used do years ago.So that's what we both did.We got in his vehic
Fitting in (edited)
8 pm in Spain - so I went to my doorway to join in the clapping. I don't always (busy, or forget) but when I do my neighbour on the left beams at me like her face will split. If she was allowed to hug me she probably would. Same neighbour has up
Quarter life, versus mid life, "crises".
Been there, and done that, on my own, of the latter. Just look at my rides/sails/lifestyle.. Digressing as I go. So, now we have so called quarter life crises, which some, but certainly not all, may quetsch about, between the ages of 20 and mid 3
What I've been up to
I've been spending a lot of my free time -of which I have quite a large amount at the moment- messing about with a 3D modelling computer programme. It also does animation. It isn't simple to use, in fact, it is quite complicated and would probably
The Insulation Blog...
I put an old house up for sale. Within a week, I had a buyer who was planning to put $50,000 in upgrades prior to moving in. He's in the restaurant business and a few weeks before the closing, due to COVID-19 is out of work. Ignoring the money he has
Boy....the things we have taken for granted....

24/7...
At the end of February, I pulled an early retirement. It was time for a break from a job that was 50-55 hours a week and if a mistake slipped through a crack the owner was first to come tell me about it, especially if there was an audience. Not havi
Contact Tracing
Okay....another thing...lol This one not so funny actually. Back in the day, there was a gentleman in his 80's who had told me about the mark of the beast. He told me 20+ years ago, we will not be able to buy or sell without taking the number

So, while in this isolation state that most of us are sharing, have you had any epiphanies? Any newly discovered purpose for your life? Any thoughts you feel are worth sharing? Anything you think may be meaningful to anyone else? Me....I just
Pursuit of Happiness
It just occurred to me when I had given somebody dear to me a bunch of excess dolls I had recently acquired for a business transaction. This person dear to be has been struggling financially pretty much all of her life. She calls me today,
