Back around 1986 I rented an apartment in San Antonio which had a broken AC. The owner didn’t have the money to fix it, so the rent was adjusted down.  So that summer I slept in a Mayan style hammock stretched out in the living room. I had a window exhaust fan in one bedroom and opened a window at the other side of…

Years ago I dated a woman who was 4'11" tall. Coincidentally the thermostat in her house was 5 feet off the ground. In the winter she kept adjusting the thermostat warmer and warmer because the hot air at the ceiling clicked the thermostat off before she ever felt it. I felt the heat on my face and noticed the…

I see the colab roll is “made with CINNABON cinnamon.”  Here’s my observation after watching them making Cinnabons in the Sky Harbor Airport a few decades ago.  When they shook out the cinnamon I noticed it had red dots in it.  I asked the assembler what the red dots were and she replied, “I never noticed that…

Couple things: picture looks like a scene from The Godfather to me.

And in his video sending people home: “Thank you for coming to my ‘wild day’ party. I know it was short notice, but I love you. Sorry it didn’t work out - Pence’s fault. But you’re my people. Oh and don’t forget to pick up a souvenir when you leave the Capitol.”

Back in the mid 80s I traveled in Venezuela and Panama. Their queso blanco is definitely different from what we can get in the US. I’ll never forget a corn pancake with queso blanco melted and folded over like an omelette. 

I’ve been frying shredded cheese in butter and pouring a broken yolk egg on top to cook. I’ll try a bit of MSG today and see where that goes.

Tried it. I’ll try anything with sour cream. I was hoping the sour cream would unlock the subtle and more delicate nuances of the Worcestershire, but no, not for me.  So I tried it with soy sauce.  Nope! 

The next unfamiliar techno weather term used in safety research is “black globe” temperature. Wet bulb and dry bulb temps are taken in the shade. If you are working in the full sun, those temps are less important than the black globe temp. The black globe is a copper spheroid, painted black, and containing a…

Pretty soon they’ll be growing citrus orchards...in Scotland. 

Shack that sounds good if you’re not from California.  Property value is established by the purchase price.  If the property was purchased 30 years ago, it’s not going to have a tax value like what you are expecting it to have. 

It should include jail time if you really want to get serious about it. 

CHILDREN!  Don’t make me turn this car around!!

I thought all airplanes got within 6 feet of crashing into the ground.  And then they land with a little less of a crashy feeling.  Certainly airplanes crash into aircraft carriers during the landing. 

I look at events in Russia and see what our alternate universe future might have been. Is Trump thinking now that he could have solved the influx of Mexicans by bombing every town in Mexico forcing the population to flee to the south?

Could it be he was tipped off by one of his congressional leg humpers? 

As long as we’re doing hypothetical thought exercises, imagine if people from other countries were embraced and welcomed to our country, trained to become productive capitalizing on their inherent skills, talents and enthusiasm, and then turned loose. I don’t get why the borders have to be fenced, especially when one…

One year my wife decided to have a party on New Year’s Eve in a hotel overlooking the fireworks in our city. We were at the perfect altitude to see the festivities. When the fireworks started, of course everyone moved toward the window...the freezing cold window, which promptly fogged up with everyone breathing on it.…

I remember when she played Hannah Montana on Disney. 

Yeah, when I think of Making America Great Again, I harken back to a time when every community in the world was shit stained and smelled like that auditorium.  That’s what MAGA means to me - a big shit stained America.
