:snippity: Macy's is part of a growing list of brick-and-mortar establishments that have nosedived in revenue and popularity with the emergence of e-commerce companies such as Amazon and Walmart. Commerce moves on. The pony express didn't last long once the telegraph was established. Pay phones hav...

... I'm willing to bet that Iran's nuclear sites are very well protected and it's going to be damned near impossible for us to hit them. Oh, and Trump is a giant pair of loose lips... Ah, but the question is, what do they believe? Particularly after the most recent strike authorized by what they pr...

Something tells me that as usual, the media is straining to make it look like they have insight and especially knowledgeable sources into what is really going on. The administration seems more than happy to let the pot boil without letting anyone really know what is going on in the background. I can...

Speak of the Devil and he appears. ;) Since Mrs. V. is still in California I went to the local chinese buffet to take advantage of their afternoon Seniors' Happy Hour. Guess what they had- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ENT7R52WsAMgF4V?format=jpg&name=small That Seniors' Happy Hour has to be the best ...

And the lack of additional deaths because of an immediate and effective response is somehow a problem?

Re: Fried rice.

Don't understand exactly why but sticky rice that has been kept in the refrigerator for a day or two makes the best fried rice.

The Man in the High Castle is a good binge show, we're enjoying it :P Hadn't seen it and the final season is out so it's the full series. Enjoying it a lot - after getting caught up with the episode reviews. That's the problem with these series - if you wait for the next season you've kind of forgo...

A lot of musicians having a lot of fun:

Not quite rock ... but fun.

Still getting the 404 "/suspended.page/disabled" error on two machines with different 'net paths.

Kaepernick was more than willing to jump into the opportunity when it vaulted him into the league and professional rewards and limelight. He and his agents/handlers knew the playing field was purely a business, driven to make millions (billions?) in profits for what amounts to be a media and team ow...

It's called trade negotiations.

I've heard it explained as dancing in a room crowded with elephants. Not for the faint of heart.

No one gets out with everything they want.

An older friend of mine still insists he is 5'10" and confirms it with saying he just had a checkup. He's 5'8 at best from my vantage point when I stand in front of him. Several years ago, I tested this shrinking thing when I was in my late 40s. Morning height marked on my bathroom door barefoot us...

A long-forgotten name comes to mind in those time sharing systems in the world of the 70's - at one time I instructed classes in BASIC on Burroughs systems for what was the Bell System.

From what I understand, even way back as a Rhode's Scholar, Pete spent quite a bit of time noodling around with his compatriots on the left on trying to understand conservatism's gains. He is not a rookie in understanding propaganda and "messaging." If the media elite finally decide to get behind hi...

I have yet to see anything on the major news channels about this day that is supposed to live in infamy - other than a few mentions here and there of Lauren Bruner.

It may not be "TV" as some would consider, but I recently got hooked on "Jay Leno's Garage" via YouTube. Amazing level of expertise and dedication to automotive and engineering preservation. Along the way, YouTube added Dr. Phil's recorded interview with Jay as well as appearances at concours events...

Recommendation for fowl fans (you can skip this one Foggy!)

From the folks at The Splendid Table: Real game dining

Two or three days before your dinner, open the canned (not the jellied) whole-berry version and mix in some very finely-shredded orange and lemon zest (for a whole can it might take the zest of two oranges and a whole lemon). Let stand in the fridge overnight then stir in a large dash or two of whit...

The "Rise Above" program has an official web site:

Commemorative Air Force Rise Above program

He wouldn't be my choice but then again, the one person I would hope to be able to see in the White House is never going to get there ... but, to tell the truth, to help me sleep I listen to the radio on earphones very quietly as to not disturb Mrs. Bean at night. I find the lack of recognizable mus...

But I asked about the safety of antique aircraft. The pilot said "These planes are better and more frequently maintained than commercial aircraft." A real labor of love for those men. I didn't feel unsafe for a second. We had a great time. That's what they always say. You're skepticism about the sk...

It may be a bit late but make sure you have enough of your meds on hand and have some packaged and ready to go if you need to evac.

If you believe the "manifesto" is his, consider this piece of irrationality from it: But the idea of deporting or murdering all non-white Americans is horrific. Many have been here at least as long as the whites, and have done as much to build our country. The best solution to this for now would be ...
