From North Carolina to British Columbia
Off on another trans-continental trip. Not in my trusty Toyota Tundra, but in Sheldon’s newly purchased Ford Transit van. After catching the WfFlu from my sister during a family visit in late April and testing positive twice for CoV 19, I finally tested negative on a Friday and left for British Columbia the next Tuesday. […]
May I Live Like I Am Dying
After several months of working on the cabin, and isolating myself in the process, I am again at a stopping point and look forward to spending some time back in British Columbia. But this WuFlu is standing in the way. Crossing the border into Canada is no small feat. Flying requires a 3 night stay […]
It’s the Economy, Stupid
And it always has been. Money talks, and we are all enslaved by our budgets – whether individual, small business, corporate, local, state, or federal. At least we used to be. The current administration seems to have thrown my Econ 101 theories out the window. And hope we do the same. The present administration has […]
A One Party State – in Perpetuity
One of the goals of the Biden Administration is to pass what is called HR – 1. It is basically pushing to federalize all future elections. I mentioned what I observed as ‘irregularities’ in the November election (and the January 2021 Georgia senate run-off). It was disturbing, though now it is widely reported as ‘the […]
An Auspicious Start to 2021
In my last blog, I ended with a hope for a better 2021 than 2020. Thus far, it looks dismal. Every new administration wants to make its mark and Biden’s has done so with a vengeance. Dozens of ‘Executive Orders’ within the first days – even hours. Our forefathers had no concept of the Executive […]
A Candid Review of 2020
It’s a new year, and good riddance to the last. What a year was 2020! It started about this time last year with the emergence of a ‘novel coronavirus’ which was dismissed by even medical guru Anthony Fauci. Then the buffooning of President Trump’s order to suspend air travel from China, later proven wise. Nancy […]
The Trip Eastward
After arriving to Rosemeade Farm near Victoria BC in late October and quarantining, I had decisions to make. Fortunately, most boxes were packed in early summer. Unfortunately, I had to repack some, because I could not carry them all. I had considered hauling a trailer but am glad that I did not. Also, I was […]
The Trip Westward – Part 2
Only a sliver of Yellowstone Park is in Montana, but it is an important sliver. Mammoth Hot Springs is the gateway to Yellowstone, which was our 1st National Park. Naturally it is also touristy, though not overly so because of the WuFlu lockdown. For that reason, I saw almost as many elk as visitors. Heading […]
The Trip Westward – Part 1
Honestly, I hoped to begin this Canada road trip in September. But it was October. But now I was off. North by Northwest. I won’t belabor you, but here are some highlights of the trip west. Night one was in a parking area on the Blue Ridge Parkway at the crossing of the Appalachian Trail. […]
Go West, Young Man – back to Canada
Finally, I was at a stopping point with the cabin repairs. Not that there wasn’t plenty more to do, but frankly, I was tired. Tired of the cabin; tired of the isolation (even with the WuFlu); tired of the political hacks incessantly on the radio. It was time for a road trip westward….to Vancouver Island. […]
