These are my blogs. Sometimes I do a lot of them, sometimes only a few. I am retired, which you would think would give me plenty of time, but sometimes life gets in the way.

Voting Blue This November is More Important Than Finding Out Who’s Stealing Your Netflix Password. Okay, folks. Gather 'round. Voting season is upon us again, and I get it—elections can feel like laundry day...
Conspiracy theories can range from the mildly bizarre to the wildly absurd, but few have reached the dizzying heights of ridiculousness like the idea that Democrats control the weather—specifically hurricanes...
