Resolution
My friends at Best Buy delivered my new TV today. Notice I did not say install. Yep, they dropped off the new one, still strapped in its box. I had taken the old one off the bracket, so they took that and left. I had seen the Geek Squad do this several times, so I just went through the drill and installed my TV, and voila! New TV at no cost and now I only…

Addendum to Automotivation
As you all know by now, I succumbed and sold the Tesla for a For F-150 Lightning EV. So much for temperance.

Better Betty Management
Better Betty Management Kim is away this week. Betty is confused. Betty is always a little bit confused, but she is especially confused this week. On a normal day when she is not sleeping, she will wander from here to there in the house with a modicum of purpose, seeking something I presume to be Kim’s presence. It reassures her that Kim is nearby. Lots of people, including Kim, anthropomorphize that as Betty’s love for…

That’s the way the ex-ambassador to NATO from the U.S. put it on this Sunday morning after the world was hanging on the edge of their seats during the start of the coup d’etat in Russia yesterday at this time.

The Day Before the Day Before
The Day Before the Day Before I have always been an impatient person. If I am supposed to be somewhere at nine o’clock, I am generally there by 8:45 at the latest. I always prefer a morning flight to an afternoon flight because I would rather relax after arriving someplace than try to relax before heading out. While I generally think that promptness and timeliness is a virtue, I will admit that I take it…

Gettin’ Loopy
Gettin’ Loopy We gathered last night with our American Flyers Motorcycle Club members at the Sunset Grill here in Moab. The Sunset Grill is the old home of the Uranium King or Utah, Charlie Steen, who discovered the Mi Vida uranium ore load just south of Moab in 1952. At the time the United States was anxious to get domestic production of uranium ore and it was the Mi Vida strike that both put Moab…

Women in Anything
Women in Anything I was raised under a materialistic system of governance. My mother was a professional woman who supported our family exclusively, with no visible support coming at any time from dear old Dad, who was long gone by the time I was four. Mom never lost a step and never complained about any of it. In fact, I would say that she would have been surprised if it was any other way. She…
