On the Knows

Did you ever notice how some words change their meaning over time?  And how some words can end up meaning the opposite of what they once did? The word “bad” is a prime example of that.  “Bad” used to mean “not good”.  Over time, it changed so “bad” actually meant

Doritos v. COVID

Just about every year, I get summoned for jury duty.  The way they do it here is they make you report to the “Hall of Justice” along with the other Super Friends…OK, I made up the part about the Super Friends.  But it really is called the “Hall of Justice”.

Alien Logic

Have you ever watched the TV show called “Ancient Aliens”?  Contrary to what you might infer from the title, it’s not a show about really old illegal aliens.  It’s a show about the “nanoo-nanoo” type of aliens.  If you’ve missed that one, then maybe you’ve seen an episode or two

Much Ado About Nothing

There was a time not too long ago, less than three years really, when very few people gave a crap about what was making them slightly sick.  Your immune system works because you’re a little bit sick all the time.  Your body is constantly exposed to new threats, and while

My plan?  Make everyone pay for their own COVID tests and vacksinations.  No

Coronaphobia

There’s something about me that most people don’t know.  I hate palm trees.  OK, I guess I don’t hate them.  It’s more like they give me the willies.  I didn’t see one in real life until I was in my mid-twenties but even before then, there was something about them

Guns N’ Noses

I’m sure everyone has been hit up by various organizations asking for your political opinion.  The ones I hate are the ones that ask a question like: “How good of a job do you think the governor is doing?”.  Then, they only allow you to choose from one of the

The Beginning of the End

This was a huge week.  If you only listen to mainstream media, Twitter and Facebook, you might not realize it.  But it was.  The United Kingdom, France and Ireland all announced this week that they’ll drop most, if not all, of their COVID restrictions and mandates. It’s about time that
