I have a feeling this is going to be soooo sweet.

"secede" and "secession". Stepping in for Foggy.

A single word: Kudzu. I'll see your kudzu and raise you a wisteria vine. The only problem with letting nature take over will be future anthropologists finding them, and wondering who these icons of society were, and how they came to be forgotten. That's okay. Future anthropologists will need someth...

Very nice recent video of the ongoing eruptions in Iceland...

So sorry. There are no words. Here is Niel Gow's Lament for the Death of His Second Wife. Niel Gow (1727-1807) was perhaps Scotland's greatest fiddler.

Thank you for visiting Frank! With over 2B requests in just 2-days, the Frankspeech experiment is a massive success - For you! Right now we're working on new features - keep checking back, we'll be up shortly! 2B.JPG I read that as "28" requests. I keep reading it as "FrankenSpeech&q...

Ha. Ha. Ha. "Working on new features." Like perhaps the ability to do more than present a SINGLE, STATIC WEB PAGE.

Such a success.

Give me a break.

Really hoping for the best.

Oh, yes. That's right. I have heard that Zelle is not good to use for purchases; no protections. My daughter and I discussed that. But it is fine for transferring cash between family and friends. I've been on PayPal for 18 years. During that time I made two purchases that I never received. I request...

I've used them all. PayPal for a long time for eBay and other purchases. It's fine for online purchases and is widely accepted internationally. Our son wanted us to use Venmo, but it had this strange "feature" that it would make the information that I was sending money to our son available...

She has that same uber-confident, uber-competent vibe that Ms. Craig had.

Yes, definitely. I was just thinking about that. The rather soft, but confident, voice that can say such pointed words.

I wonder what excuses pro-Trumpers can possibly come up with for that.

Because there's always an excuse.

The United States military is one of the nation's most trusted institutions. But 'enemies' lie in the ranks

I wonder who is the highest-ranking 'enemy'? (Now that Trump is gone, of course.)

The Supreme Court of Michigan ruled that voters cannot be compelled to reveal their vote. This was decided as a result of the 1977 Ann Arbor mayoral election (in which I voted), because, as I was about to enter my rooming house, a young woman asked me if I had voted and said I should because "i...

It's personally amusing to me to think of Rush Limbaugh and other RWNJ con artist finding out God is nonbinary just before being flushed down to hell. God does not have a Gender because God is not Human. You might as well talk about Light having a Gender. In fact many Christian Mystics talk about t...

And they can all talk now.

Reading those statements is like being force fed schadenfreude. It’s getting to be too much.

“No, no. Thanks. You’re very kind, but please, I’ve had enough.”

That is really magnificent. It takes quilting to a level I have never seen before.

Might be problems there, to my IANAL mind. Because.. There are lots of people who are electors, who might not at the moment be waiting to vote, or whose need for hydration is not related to voting. So.. Should an EMT give water to a dehydrated person, who happens to be eligible to vote? Or let them...

IANAL. but it seems offering some...

Right. I don't think that there is any chance he will spend time behind bars. I'm just hoping for financial ruin.

I agree. But what should the state abbreviation be? 'SC' is already taken.
