The proprietor of a certain blog goes back to a topic he can actually get responses to, moments before slipping into irrelevancy for good. Billy Shears offers an array of answers that I pretty much agree with. So as not to retread ground, I'll offer up a couple of other observations. The Proprietor ...

I'm contemplating a cruise. I plan to wait until the pandemic is under control to set sail, and so the upshot is I have extra time to plan. I really want to make this trip special.

A friend from the past connected up with me the other day and he's still TBM, but he ain't happy about the whole religious right "covid is a liberal conspiracy" thing. He mentioned some folks I knew from back in the day, and even one of the most level-headed pers...

Maybe she was in the moment and thought she was invincible? Now was the time to finally clean up the streets. My gosh, she accused him of being a p*?? and just now, the proprietor of a certain blog accused Shades of being a bigot? What on earth are they complaining about Dr. Scratch for?
