Hey everybody… not a real exciting day here in rural Douglas County. I stayed around the house for the most part, primarily due to vehicular issues. My car had a bit of a problem yesterday when we went to put on new tires. Looks like there was a problem with my brakes and calipers, and …

Day 20,050
OK, I’m not going to lie to anybody. I’m sitting here completely unmotivated to write two hundred words on a Thursday night. Chiefs lost their first preseason game.

Day 20,045

Racists are coming out of the woodwork, and there are white supremacist rallies just about every weekend in this country. …

Hello, friends! Fat, old Grampa Bob coming to you live once again from rural Douglas County. I’ve completed my five day Azure course.
