NOTE - 9 December 2025: New items have been added to the FREE BOOKS section; the BLOG has been moved to Politics-related Content, and in a blast from the past we re-live the Mac vs. PC ads that made us all laugh so hard in a more innocent time.
NOTE - 15 December 2025: My attempts to publish before today were slowed down by attending a Graham Platner organizing event and by my wife's surprise visit to the Emergency Room. She is okay [we think] but we need to confirm that with the proper professionals. As expected, life continues to happen.

Do you remember the fierce rivalry between the Mac and PC back in the day?

J. B. Handelsman has a new slant on the proverbial 'not talking about the elephant in the room' metaphorical idiom! - You can view this fabulous cartoon at CartoonStock [CC121678]; unfortunately my budget cannot handle the sticker price to show it on my website.

Why is this man smiling at the Wild Clover Cafe in Waterville, Maine?
. . . Perhaps he is remembering his new favorite: Shakshuka - for breakfast or lunch!
Impollutable Pogo by Walt Kelly [1970]
"I'M AS MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANY MORE!"
- Howard Beale, Network [1976]
Howard Beale from the Network movie
Even if you have seen the movie years ago, now is a good time to watch it again. Many of our younger readers may not even know about this movie. The mainstream media space has changed a lot since 1976 and many of you are getting your news from social media instead. But the movie is still very pertinent for our time. Take a look. I think you will agree that this has a very powerful message for us all today.

It is after 4 am so I need to stop and get some sleep, but I will be back tomorrow (probably on my blog) with more alarming current event information for those of you who miss the old weekly emails. As Bette Davis would say, "fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy [ride]."
23-24 August 2025There is no Authenticate button yet to see the rest of the site (which is always under construction, i.e.: in complete disarray). If you can find an authenticate button, let me know. Try the "Blog" Button instead.
The astute observer will notice that authentication is not actually conducted yet. This website is almost universally constructed with "HI" but some "AI" is bound to creep in at some point, despite my best efforts (and deliberately on occasion).
Note: "HI" = Human Intelligence; "AI" = Artificial Intelligence. LOL
