Although it wasn't a full, true fisking, my post from Saturday did a fairly decent polemic job on this LA Times article related to mental health, psychological therapists and President Trump. In thinking further about what I had written, I realized there is at least one more good angle I can take to this article. … Continue reading Beware professional authority

Don’t you dare challenge my narrative …
Every so often I find myself driven by a desire to forsake my natural tendency for reasoned discourse, for the seeing the merits of both (or multiple) sides of an issue, to finding the benefit of each side even while being able to disagree with ultimate conclusions. Every so often I find myself driven to … Continue reading Don’t you dare challenge my narrative …
McDonalds: The Bicycle Test
Okay, I'll admit it, I was trying to create an incident. I decided to ride my bicycle out on Sunday to go get treats for everyone for our evening snack: Shamrock Shakes from McDonalds. And since there was no bicycle rack to park my bicycle, I decided that the easiest way for me to make … Continue reading McDonalds: The Bicycle Test
They are Commercials, not Political Statements
It has been long enough since the sports spectacle of Sunday for me to be able to make some comments about the one part I do pay any attention to -- the Super Bowl Commercials. I saw a lot of my friends making remarks about the commercials on Facebook as they aired. Most of the … Continue reading They are Commercials, not Political Statements
The Smartcast Tablet
I mentioned in my post about buy our new television that we couldn't use the smart TV functions because our tablets didn't have the right version of android. But since we didn't really need those functions, we decided to go ahead and shop for new tablets that did have the right version, but to wait until … Continue reading The Smartcast Tablet
Don’t dig out your drive twice
Today is a short video post (hopefully it comes through for everyone) showing a moment of creativity. We rarely get snow where I live now, and even rarer is seeing a plow on our street. But when the plow does come through, it invariably blocks our driveway with snow that we have to shovel again. … Continue reading Don’t dig out your drive twice

The one, the only, Television purchase
Okay, we are eclectic tech people. We like our devices, but we don't have everything new. We are very particular in what we want and how we spend our tech dollars. Case in point: Until last Saturday I had never purchased a television. Now, I've never been without a television, just never bought one. My … Continue reading The one, the only, Television purchase
Taste’s great, now the art …
Earlier this week Cedar Writes featured a post on Hot Soft Pretzels. They looked good enough to interest the daughter unit in making. She was definitely interested, but also intimidated about doing on her own. It took until today, when I could oversee, that we tried it. The results are very tasty, but as the wife … Continue reading Taste’s great, now the art …
