A Pirate looks past 60, with apologies to Jimmy Buffett

Now we have the radical left who are no better than the radical right. It feels as if the entire country has lost its mooring. We are adrift. This is not who we are, what we are. There is and always has been racism – on all sides. I’ve been the only white guy in … Continue reading A Pirate looks past 60, with apologies to Jimmy Buffett →

Can’t we stop until these people are OK? Can’t we cut the crap?

Can’t we lose the Right – Left bullshit for a couple of days. Can’t we keep  the sitting president and his entourage and secret service away so a tragic situation doesn’t become worse? He can be much more effective seeing to it that Federal resources are available to this area, these people. Have people lost … Continue reading Can’t we stop until these people are OK?

A DAY IN COURT

  I got too many tickets. Most are speeding tickets. Being an entitled, old white guy it usually ends up a reduced fine where the court gets the money, and I get no points. This is no joke money if you ever sit in one of these kangaroo courts and do the math. This is … Continue reading A DAY IN COURT →

Writing

    People tell me I’m a good writer. That’s a stretch. I’m sure they are referring to the final product. That, to me, is a great honor. It is hard to describe the feeling when someone says good things about my work. It is more than a quick stroke of the ego. The positive … Continue reading Writing →

Old Glory, Faded Glory, Ragged Glory

I’ve seen a lot of American flags strapped to pickups trucks lately. I see them at night, I see them in the rain, I see them touching the lumber and garbage in the back of the trucks; beer cans and coffee cups and bags that I assume are destined for the local landfill, or the side of … Continue reading Old Glory, Faded Glory, Ragged Glory →

I cant type real good. I’m a cat. You get that, right? Be impressed I can type at all. I aint got opposable thumbs fer starters. Typing is hard. My slave’s name is Mr. Lump, cause he makes a lump on the bed when I’m trying to nap. He is freaked out of his mind … Continue reading Fausto’s first blog post. →

I think I enjoyed it

    The realization that all of your actions speak louder than your plans and desires.    That  shaky moral code that says you never strike a woman or children or old people and animals. Anyone else is fair game and has been fair game.    A time in your life where you could not … Continue reading I think I enjoyed it →

Fire and Fury

Fire and Fury scares the Hell out of me. It sounds nuclear. Shock and Awe had a deadly tone, but it sounded like old, white men wagging their dicks.   This Fire and Fury is more ominous.   I lay in bed last night awake – the rants of the idiot in the White House … Continue reading Fire and Fury →

Someone asked me what I thought about the whole editing and publishing process

  Whereupon I Edit Out My Editor… Snake oil… Step right up! Or, How do we get published, really? Self Publishing Becomes Self Loathing… Our Hero Meets His Match… The Publish Button, Complete With Sireeeeens

From the New – Still Untitled Mess

He turned and looked at me and said, “These machines, this equipment was built by a good man, good men who went to work at seven in the morning every day and brought their sandwiches in bags and on weekends they played baseball and drank beer and they took their families on picnics on Sundays. … Continue reading From the New – Still Untitled Mess →
