I just finished listening to this podcast with Thomas Zimmer and can’t recommend it enough (start at 37:00). The video was posted Feb 17, 2025, but I didn’t come across it until yesterday. It was interesting to hear some of his predictions that soon passed (I’m looking at you Chuck Schumer.) I highly recommend readersContinue reading “Political Stuff”

Call It What It is
Democracy is either dead or dying, and a new regime is emerging. The 900-page political blueprint created by the Heritage Foundation serves as the governmental plan. Political parties no longer function as they used to. The Democrats operate under a set of rules that no longer apply, rendering them completely ineffective. The Republicans have transformedContinue reading “Call It What It is”
Parada del Sol
The Parada del Sol in Scottsdale, Arizona has been an Arizona tradition since 1953. For whatever reason, neither my husband nor I had attended it until this year. The beginning of the parade showcased a variety of horses, and our favorites were the dancing ones—especially the one that had a heart on its rear. NextContinue reading “Parada del Sol”
Blame Nader
I still, and forever will, Blame Ralph Nader for putting America in its current predicament. If he had not run as a third-party candidate, Al Gore would have likely become the 43rd president instead of George W. Bush, resulting in a very different America today. The 2000 election might not have been disputed if RalphContinue reading “Blame Nader”
Tucson Excursion
Whenever hubby and I are hankering for a quickie getaway, we usually take a little jaunt to Tucson. We live on the very southern edge of the Phoenix metropolitan area, and it’s easier for us to drive a little over an hour to Tucson than to traverse the entire valley to reach the freeway thatContinue reading “Tucson Excursion”
I’ve Got A Word For This
Hello! And Happy Holidays, I suppose. Honestly, whatever with the holidays. I haven’t been in the spirit this year, what with the looming theocracy on the horizon. Or will it be a mediocracy? Perhaps we’re entering oligarchy territory. Maybe gerontocracy? Monarchy? How about a combo of all five? Theomedoligeronarchy? Yeah, that looks about right. WhateverContinue reading “I’ve Got A Word For This”
The Retreating Glacier
Photos from my retro photo album titled: Alaska, May 2013 Mendenhall Glacier started retreating in the mid-1700s following a period of glaciation that began 3,000 years ago. But in recent decades, Alaska has been warming twice as fast as the rest of the United States, helping to push the region’s glaciers into an especially steep decline.Continue reading “The Retreating Glacier”
Native Americans
Geronimo. Everyone knows his name and the famous picture of him kneeling with a rifle. That photo is arguably one of the best images ever taken of any human being, and there’s no denying the indomitable fierceness staring out of his eyes. He was a man that was pissed off, and he was going toContinue reading “Native Americans”
MAGA or Bust
I’ve been stewing in my thoughts for the last several days, and I feel the need to purge my brain. I hope that by typing them out, I can rid myself of some lingering concerns. I intend to do this only once, as I have no desire to make this a habit. To begin with,Continue reading “MAGA or Bust”
Splendid China
Splendid China was a theme park in near Orlando, Florida. It opened in 1993 and closed on December 31, 2003. It was a sister park to the Splendid China in Shenzhen, China, and cost $100 million to build. It was a 75-acre (30 ha) miniature park with more than 60 replicas at a one-tenth scaleContinue reading “Splendid China”
