RFK = Real Fing Kook?

I am fortunate in that I grew up with my father alive and in my life.  I don't know that I could quantify the depth of influence which he had on me,. but attention to detail, logic, science, and respect for facts are, I am sure, some of the things he taught me.

What if anything, is running through that lump on Robert Kennedy's shoulders that passes for a head is likely not the same things that go through mine.  Granted, I do hear wild conspiracy theories, but like most people with at least half a functional brain, I evaluate them based on the evidence which is presented with them - if any.

That RFK continues to "grace" the public discourse stage after so many years of bullshit is undoubtedly due to some media groups seeking to discredit his family name that was already in a pretty sorry state, but that's mostly his own fault.  The absolutely baseless bullshit he peddles to stay in the public eye remains ... well, bullshit.  100% pure direct from the cow bullshit.  

It's sad that some people insist that he remains a credible source on anything.  The most recent blast of BS he's come out with is just some more racist and inflammatory crap that some folks will continue to fan.  One of the most horrific things I saw in the past week was a woman at an event allegedly for the Orange Jesus, holding a flag touting that whack job at the head, followed by RFK for the vice president, on some lunatic party's presidential slate of 2024.

Right.  And for this next fake news break, my rear end is going to headline a ticket with Bessie The Bovine, my Rap colleague who will team up with me to tout the benefit and true need for good, decent fertilizer, not this fake news bullshit.  We need real shit, good shit, to stay in the fields and fertilize the crops, not the brains of our people.  


Film at 11, maybe.  I promise.  Politically.

NEC TurboGrafx, Sega Genesis, and Me...

    My friend David Farquhar has posted some of the history of the Sega Genesis Game Console .  Back in late February, 1990, my store manager got a call from our district manager.  I was the Assistant Manager of the Software Etc. store in Ridgehaven, a strip mall across a few roads from Ridgehaven, a major shopping center in Minnetonka, Minnesota.  The district manager needed someone to close the Eden Prairie store, down the road from us, that night, because the previous store manager was, as of that date, no longer with the company. Eden Prairie Center has changed quite a bit over the years, but back then, it had a couple of things that made it stand out, if you worked for Software Etc.  That company began life in the corner of a B. Dalton bookstore in downtown Minneapolis, and one of the first stand-alone stores was set up in the basement of Southdale.  If you have spent any time at all in any mall in the country, you should tip your hat to Southdal...

Slightly Better Than Unsuccessful Woodworking Day

 Yeah, that's right, I said it. We have a front-load "Epic" clothes washer that is coming up on ... dare I say it ... fifteen years old.  It's running fine, dealing with that which we get to deal with.  And I hope it lasts a few more years. But it has one ... treat for us.  When it decides it's time to spin the laundry to get the water out, it is ... rather energetic.  And the load is rarely completely balanced.  So it tends to ... create a bit of a rumble - or more.  And on occasion, things ... fling off the washer top. Now, were I a very smart and hard-working individual, I'd build at set of shelves to hold things above the washer.  Except that there's very much not room for them.  I mean, we could rearrange things down here to create more room, but right next to the laundry tub/sinks is a rather heavy steel pipe - and it's tied by ... apparently electrical tape to a copper pipe.  This combination of pipes manages to fall right in a sp...

NeverWalz.com and anti-aliasing...

It has been many years since I dealt with this, but it occurred to me some folks just aren't as smart as they think they are. It's State Fair time in Minnesota , so that's going on.  And there is always a lot of competition for booth sites for many things.  There are some booths, however, that are usually available right up to nearly opening day.  As was undoubtedly the case this year. Some of you may have heard that there's an election coming, and we here in Minnesota are a little more invested than we had been as our governor is now campaigning to become the third man from Minnesota to serve as Vice President, following Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale, both within my lifetime.   Our State fair is pretty widely recognized as one of the biggest and best in the country.  There is no single focus area.  With all of the agriculture in this state, the Ag barns are a huge focus.  Unfortunately, due to the smaller number of farmers out there, Machine...
