Rob Reiner

The sad news reached me early yesterday. Reading about Rob Reiner and his wife being killed by their son was devastating. Then the Idiot-in-Chief commented on the situation. And made it all the worse with his delusional and senile ranting. But when all is said and done the idiot made people realize that he wasContinue reading “Rob Reiner”

Things to think about on Monday

I’m a real believer in comics as a reflection of what’s happening in the world. But, both of these gave me something to think about. The fascists (aka NAZIs) have brought back diseases one thought to be erradicated. I started reading the comic strip Francis when Francis was Pope. Now the comic strip, although stillContinue reading “Things to think about on Monday”

Making America Sick Again

Well, here we are in 2025 and American health should be improving, but instead things are getting worse. Nobody has contributed more to the decline in this than Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. His anti-vaccine attitude and control is already contributing to more sick and dying children. Whooping Cough is on the rise and has resultedContinue reading “Making America Sick Again”

A vistor last night at Whitefish Point

Sometimes when you get up early in the morning you see something surprising. Wee this morning I turned on the bayside lights to see how much it snowed last night and saw that we got an inch or two. But what was really surprising was we also had visitors who left taracks in the freshContinue reading “A vistor last night at Whitefish Point”

And the “Piece Prize” goes to:

Well, it’s been an interesting week in politics. For instance FIFA giving out a questionable “Peace Prize.” Why? No idea other than to coddle to DFTs need for attention. So here’s how the meme-verse responded. It’s an appeasement prize to shut DFT up. The Blue-eyed cat award. Once again to shut her up. A moreContinue reading “And the “Piece Prize” goes to:”

Is it snowing?

We try to get out at least twice a day for long walks, it’s good for us both not only physically, but also psychologically. Sometimes the weather can be a challenge, but not an obstacle that we cannot overcome. Yesterday was one of the trying days. Yesterday we headed west on North Shore. There wereContinue reading “Is it snowing?”

Some Sunday comics to start the week

Never tell somebody that they don’t have the skill needed to do something. That’s as dumb as not calling nurses professionals. Don’t poison insects or rodents! They’re not pests but actually part of the ecosystem. If you must get rid of them use non-toxic means. Woodstock new what to do, and anyway Snoopy’s home hasContinue reading “Some Sunday comics to start the week”

Random thoughts

Sometimes I sit down and think about the past. One thing that came to mind was when I had my old Nikon F2 (which I still have) and a dark room. In 1975 we went to an Eric Clapton concert in Detroit and I took the following photo. Not the best photo so I enhancedContinue reading “Random thoughts”

Another day at Whitefish Point, December, 2025

This morning it was a lot warmer than yesterday at the same time. We started our walk and it was 15F. We opened the front door letting some heat out, but keeping the storm door closed and these ice crystals formed yesterday. No need to do that today. While the point was warmer and withContinue reading “Another day at Whitefish Point, December, 2025”

Whitefish Point – December, 2025

We are planning to spend 8-10 days at Whitefish Point. The weather forecast looks like it will snow every day, which is no surprise and it doesn’t bother us. As I am sitting here writing it is still dark outside and 7F. But inside with a fire going in the wood stove the cabin isContinue reading “Whitefish Point – December, 2025”
