Sad I am today. I stand outside the sanctuary next to the handicap parking places to help usher people inside.

I will never have the opportunity to visit with this gentleman on Sunday mornings again.

I am in grief.

Your Sunday School class may be cool, but, I bet it's not Tenured-chemistry-professor-who-makes-the-coffed kind of cool.

How do you tell a free range Southern Boy who grew up in the 50s and 60s?

He will generally have a handkerchief on him at all times, wear a hat, and knows how to fill a fountain pen when necessary.

He can also sing all verses of Amazing Grace from rote along with A Might Fortress.

So, I have a Pixel 10 phone. After I witnessed a near fatal traffic incident last week on the interstate. I went looking for apps to mute my phone while driving.

Turns out that Google has such a feature embedded in the phone! Who knew?

Last week I witnessed what surely was about to be a fatal accident due to distracted driving. Texting, drifting to the right at 75 mph, large truck parked on the shoulder. Harrowing.

That's it for me. Phone on silent and in the pocket from now on. I'll not take such chances again.

It is our custom to give food gifts during the holidays. Always appreciated and consumed. Money stays local and supports our farmers and packagers.

Petite Jean Meats and Ozark Nut Roasters are our faves.

I went to hang out with my brothers and an Italian restaurant broke out.

When I was a young, struggling starving stockbroker in the days of my youth, my branch manager took me down to meet the trust officer at a local bank

After our meeting my manager had me order a "ring down" circuit from the local phone company. It was a one button punch direct line from their

Max Planck: Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.

I am surrounded by people who own homes that they cannot afford to maintain, either the structure or the yard. The same people seem to also own pets and are unable to afford veterinary bills.

What is it about maintenance and upkeep that people do not understand?

I rather suspect that the current administration has little interest in infant morality. I would imagine they see these babies as not measuring up, so if they do not survive no resources will be expended for their care.

Well, a little late, but tax returns for the corporation and personal, state and federal, signed and in the mail along with checks for payment. What a relief.

Felt like an ax on my neck since April 15. We live conservatively, so plenty left over.

Time for a drink. #taxes

My country's history just knocked on the door & asked me to remind everyone that it's only a small step from nasty to Nazi ... in this case, from ridiculing & humiliating a disabled journalist to calling for euthanasia of people with mental illnesses.
