Some record to have. A streak of 90+ temps set in 1901 will be broken on Thursday. Wednesday, the 18th day of 90 or above will tie it. Bummer. The only mitigating factor is the lack of humidity. I remember being in Dallas, when the temperature was matched by the humidity. That was worse.
I don’t like hot [...]

Is that a GAME?

That was Chris’ question when he came to see what I was doing. So I show him which game. Double Mahjong Faro. And asked him “anything else you need?” which he took to be a smart answer. I did try to make him feel better by explaining that while I did download it, it was [...]
Alright, which one of you strips of bacon think you can take me?

This is what Chris’ idiot son wants to ask after walking into the police academy in Golden. (Before anyone gets offended, Chris & Joe both have a lot of friends that are cops, they both ride motorcycles with them, so there is no disrepect intended. Besides, if the ones that I know are indicitive of [...]
What would be the point?

Last week, Chris & Joe went to a townhouse to find a plumbing leak a lady thought she had. She had no leak. They checked all the possible places, including some improbable ones as well. They tell her it’s a building issue, as the water (we had just had a heavy storm) was coming in [...]

T. Boone Pickens. An Oklahoma State University graduate, with a degree in geology. Longtime Republican benefactor, is now really irritating the Republicans.
McCain is running a bogus ad about the Democrats being behind the rise in gas prices, because they won’t lift the drilling bans that are in place. Democrat in the ad focus: Obama, of course. [...]
Try to find it

I’m a lover of horses & the sports they’re in. Always have been, & probably always will be.
So imagine my frustration at trying to find the schedule for the Olympic Equestrian events. I don’t care about all the other events. Volleyball? Oh please, when did that become an Olympic sport, & why? Swimming, diving, track [...]
On the job

I get a call last week from a man who’d had a plumbing company out, & he wanted a second opinion. Seems his last water bill was $300.00 (my last one was $100.00 for a 2 month billing cycle) & the company that he had out did no testing, but told him he needed a new water [...]

Of the “thugs” in the header is an older, old fart today, than he was yesterday?
Happy Birthday, you old fart.

1. Take the dog meat off the menus of restaurants. (People from the West don’t like to see it.)
2. You can drive your car every other day, & hope mass transit can get you to work.
3. We have to fight the smog over the city, that makes Denver’s “brown cloud” look like nothing.
4. Do we allow broadcasters in [...]
