Some people have such an incredible knack for creating interesting and compelling titles to their posts. Oh, I guess those would be real *writers*.

at the sidebar. I need to post something just so I can stop seeing the “Brother’s” ads. A hearty thanks to those noticing those ads. It always warms the cockles of my cold coal heart to see the wonderful ad clickers. You’re helping us keep the dream alive. Thank You!

I am due for a long post; crap has been flying about my brain, careening about my skull and making a lot of noise.

In (late, I’m perpetually LATE) honor of the genocide of the First Nations peoples (Columbus Day, you dolts! :)), I have a wonderful link to a wonderful book that I heard about on My New Best Friend, NPR. I’m beginning to see why people love that station so much. Before we became [...]
