Wow.
Good news for Archenemy Field Correspondent Stumpy McGimp*, for sure. When this tech is good enough for bone therapy, he’ll be the happiest (still super-clumsy) jock-again in the world.

Then I finally found out that the [...]

Dire prediction

Hugh Hewitt:
Hillary will probably become the new Teddy K. –a lioness of the Senate, serving there until the end of days for most of us. She will even enjoy and perhaps earn a unique sort of authority, an uber “been-there-done-that” wisdom. If she ever writes a candid book, it will be riveting.

Stuff white people like:
#41 Indie Music

Officer looks askance at DFF, while DFF snaps pic after pic, chuckling.
DFF: Sorry - when I am ever going to see something this absurd again?
OFFICER: …

I’ve been reading quite a bit in the last few weeks - making sure I’m getting my moneys worth from Amazon Prime.
I ordered “The Boy, Me, and the Cat” by Henry Plummer. Mr. Plummer, his son and Scotty the cat sailed from Buzzard’s Bay down to Florida and back, almost 3,000 miles, on a [...]
