Been a Long Time



Yep, it’s been a long time. Too much to catch up on so let’s just say I’m back. Let’s just touch on a few highs and lows.


I was in Texas part of the winter. For a number of reasons I didn’t want most people to know my house was unoccupied. That only explains part of my silence.


Some of it was just a matter of being busy with my own business. Stuff happens. Other times I’m making stuff happen.


Like most people I’ve been watching the war in Ukraine. Russia cannot win this. They could destroy the country and call it victory, but they can’t win.


People are freaking out about gas prices. As an old guy who got his driver’s license in the 70s, this feels really familiar. Looks like my 100 mpg scooter will be doing a lot of errands. Just got a new tire for it before tire prices go through the roof. Anything made from petroleum is going up.


So it’s interesting times. Throw another bag of rice on the pile. Keep your iodide pills nearby and your powder dry.


Don’t forget to have some good times too as there’s more to life than just having a heartbeat.


My lovely wife and I are doing fine. We had a bout of covid. For us it was like a very mild cold, but we are vaxxed to the max. I was pretty ticked off because we were staying with relatives who needed our help but would not take basic precautions. One person in the household had a very bad time indeed but recovered.


Unfortunately we lost Brownie the Sailor Dog before Christmas. The poor old girl had a ruptured spleen and died from internal bleeding. It was unexpected. She was a very good dog and there’s a hole in our hearts.


Anyway, be well.

  2. I just figured that Sixbears in the Woods was doing what Sixbears does in the woods & would show up when he was done. Welcome back. Sorry about Sailor Dog.

    1. Yeah, you had let me know. Sorry to hear about the cough. We seem to have recovered well, but who can say?

      Wouldn't it be nice to have a longer break between horsemen of the apocalypse?
