… because it appears some of their customers are having problems. Beans, blogging at Chant du Depart, describes what he found. So, there I was, Saturday, planning on holiday meals and planning bills (like car tag renewals and such) and while reviewing my bank statement (on-line, I’m not a total Luddite) and lo and… Continue reading If you insure through USAA, you might want to check the status of your account…

State of the author as Christmas draws near
I’m grateful to you, dear readers, for the encouragement many have provided over the past couple of years as I dealt with the fallout from a heart attack and two bouts with COVID-19. They disrupted my writing very severely, but I’ve been on the mend and working hard. As a result, no less than… Continue reading State of the author as Christmas draws near
Got the crud again…
Last weekend we (the North Texas Writers, Shooters and Pilots Association, as we tongue-in-cheek refer to ourselves) gathered for our usual Saturday supper. Unfortunately, one of our number has since tested positive for COVID-19. He’s self-quarantining, of course; he says it feels like a head cold, nothing too serious (I’m assuming he probably has… Continue reading Got the crud again…
And the winners are…
We have two winners in our recent raffle for two Glock pistols. The Glock 45 and Swampfox Optics Kingslayer sight were won by A. J., who hails from a city in or near the Atlanta, Georgia metroplex. They’re on their way to his local firearms dealer as you read these words. The Glock 19… Continue reading And the winners are…

Awright! Third Time Lucky Raffle!
We’ve held two raffles for AR-15 pistols in recent months; but they’ve been of limited interest to handgun fans, who’ve asked for a raffle to satisfy their interests, too. All right, here we go! I’m offering at least one, and possibly two prizes this time around. Previously, I’d sold a maximum of 100 tickets… Continue reading Awright! Third Time Lucky Raffle!
The raffle winner has been drawn, but announcement is pending notification
As promised, the winner of our AR-15 pistol raffle was drawn yesterday; but so far, he hasn’t replied to my e-mail or telephone messages, to let me know whether he’s willing to have his name and location published on this blog. I have to wait for him to get back to me about that. … Continue reading The raffle winner has been drawn, but announcement is pending notification
Memorial Day
I know lots of readers come here first thing Monday morning to read the regular “Memes That Made Me Laugh” post. That’ll be coming just after 9 a.m.: but there’s something more important than memes, and that’s the people we commemorate today. May the souls of our honored dead rest in God’s peace; and… Continue reading Memorial Day
Your feel-good story of the morning
I had to smile at this report. One Texas family is thanking officials from the Texas Department of Transportation and Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas for putting a smile on their 6-year-old son’s face. Little Archer is a Leukemia survivor who recently got the opportunity to help TxDOT push the ceremonial button to implode… Continue reading Your feel-good story of the morning
