So we will stick with what works – for now. The title of this poast comes directly from the name of the lovely lady of the week. This here is […]

Most of the time, this is a VERY Good Thing, given what the various adult pretenders of the world get up to in their spare time. […]

It’s actually astonishing just how quickly it went by – though that might have something to do with the fact that I spent the first half of both days sound asleep. And that is kind of how it should […]

I cannot find that video now in my […]

That said, the prospect of greeting Monday morning was a rather shoulder-sagging one, especially given the long drive I have to make these days.

We have seen the New Evil Empire throw just about everything it has available at Iran, and it has failed utterly to do much more than cosmetic damage. Meanwhile, American air defence systems […]
