Jury Duty – determining Innocence/Guilt – or is it about Liberties?

As I was (FINALLY!) selected to be a part of a Jury pool, I’m going through the slow process of going from “selected” to “acceptable”. That entailed, because of COVID-19, an online survey of 50 questions, then a virtual “hearing” in which the prosecutor and then the defending lawyers had the chance to question me … Read more

Coffee Makers hacked with ransomware

So, you REALLY want all your devices on the Internet? Hahahahahahaha!

Back in the day, I wanted a smart home (I’ve said that before somewhere in here). I even bought a number of X-10 modules for alerts and lights along with a module to hook up to my then ancient PC.

DISQUS Doodlings – And With a Single Word (WuFlu) I’m a Racist

I got called a racist. Not that it’s much of a surprise. It’s a typical argument ender by the Left when they have nothing better to say. They just can’t help hurling epithets, thinking that everyone else would understand that Their Emotions Trump EVERYTHING (see what I did there?); end of discussion.

10 Meter Platform Jumper

Palate Cleanser – would YOU jump off a 10 meter platform?

I’ve done it in the past when I was MUCH younger. Got back up and did it again but that first time?  A regular board is easy, five meter not much harder. It IS a lot different for a 10. Just ask these folks (if you are bilingual – thank God for subtitles). Be careful, … Read more

Data Point – Polling on Amy Coney Barrett’s SCOTUS nomination

Not that it matters but it seems that all political factions are warming up to Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg on the US Supreme Court: Now, this will have NO impact on the actual process – the Constitution says that the President SHALL nominate and that the … Read more

Economic Recovery is slow, Susan Page?

That was one of the “issues” that Susan Page (USA Today), the moderator of the VP Debate between VP Pence and Kamala Harris, had on her plate. Problem is, well, you’ll see: SHOT: “Vice President Pence, your administration has been predicting a rapid and robust recovery, but the latest economic reports suggest that is not … Read more
