Picking up the pieces of our daily routine

  There’s no Memes That Made Me Laugh post this week, as my travels precluded gathering them from here and there as I normally do.  The regular Memes post will return next Monday. Let’s start out the week with a smile.  Task & Purpose is a military-oriented Web site that often has useful, interesting articles. … Continue reading Picking up the pieces of our daily routine

True dat

  Yes, a good hurricane (if that isn’t a misnomer) highlights the folly of electric-only vehicles as just about nothing else can. I doubt there’ll be enough charging stations along evacuation routes to do much good.  Also, good luck finding a way to recharge your vehicle after the storm has passed, when the power’s out… Continue reading True dat

This bears repeating – again and again

So much of what we read and hear today is nothing more than political correctness writ large, that it’s worth reminding ourselves that at root, it’s all the same old extremist lie.  The communists used it in bucketsful.  So has almost every other extremist movement down the… Continue reading This bears repeating – again and again

Um… not so fast on food self-sufficiency…

  I had to laugh when I came across a post on Gab claiming “That’s how much you need to become self-sufficient“.  Click the image for a larger view. Um… not so fast.  That’s an illustration of perfection, showing a garden with very fertile soil, a favorable climate, no pests to speak of, and enough… Continue reading Um… not so fast on food self-sufficiency…

“Confessions of a Marine Corps sensitivity trainer”

  Courtesy of Martin van Creveld’s blog, I discovered an article with that title published in 2000.  It made me laugh out loud, both for the incongruity of its title (after all, the Marines are known for breaking things and killing people, neither of which requires exceptional sensitivity!) and for its humor.  Here’s an excerpt.… Continue reading “Confessions of a Marine Corps sensitivity trainer”
