You know, I have been vaguely considering changing my online pseudonym… And, amazingly enough for me, there might actually be a reason.
Years ago, my family and I happened to live in a little town called
My website has been attracting a lot of page requests recently… to the point where my account was periodically crashing the shared server it inhabits back at DreamHost. Kind of amusing, I know, but also a Very Bad Thing [...]
1. I somehow managed to drag Better Half to a gun show this weekend, but to say it was a little disappointing would be putting it mildly – lots of antique stuff and war memorabilia, but even fewer modern [...]
The first car I more-or-less owned (it was technically my parents’, but it was “my” car) was a 1986 Honda Accord LXi, and was a remarkably decent car for a teenager with a brand-spanking new license. I had grown [...]
Yesterday, I had the misfortune to fly into Philadelphia International Airport (*waves at Sebastian*). It has been at least a year, and probably two, since I have been in that particular corner of the world, [...]
I guess it is time for another one of these. The general premise is that you are free to ping this post (and every other post in this category), as long as you link back to it. Consider it [...]
I am not entirely convinced this is the best way to make use of my YouTube account (you know, the account I just rediscovered this evening, after apparently having it for a year and not remembering opening [...]
Just to screw with the Brady Bunch’s attempts at maligning certain collections of words on Google, I thought I would do my (admittedly little) part to derail their plans. As such, behold how carry permit [...]
Better Half and I are in something of an interesting predicament at the moment… Thanks to her job, we have a fully-furnished temporary apartment at a rather nice complex. Additionally, her new employer moved all of our effects across [...]
Home shopping can be quite interesting… you get to see large tracts of the land around you, the varieties, designs, decoration styles, arrangements, and features of all of the various homes can be quite intriguing, and there is all [...]
You know you are in Tennessee when the airport you fly into not only has a simulated veranda, but also a plethora of rocking chairs (all occupied, by the by) to go on it.
Better Half and I [...]
By the time you are reading this, Better Half and I should be on our plane and in flight over some state other than Kalifornistan (assuming no delays or other such problems). Furthermore, barring a [...]
Back in March before the Heller decision one of the local radio stations had the DC gun ban as one of their topics, and had a constitutional lawyer named Michael Gross on for commentary. In the interview (which can [...]
It is always interesting to see one’s whole life packed up into tan-colored boxes and spirited away…
Posting will be light for the forseeable future, once again. Oddly enough, I am actually headed away from water this time, [...]
A standard, mark 1 mod 0 MasterLock will NOT fit a Pelican 1200 case.
That might have been useful to know. Suggestions (for something that is going to contain a reasonably nice pistol and [...]
As I previously mentioned here, Better Half and I will be moving out to Tennessee sometime in the near future. Unfortunately, one of the difficult aspects of moving is what to do with certain items, such as firearms, ammunition, [...]
Two hundred, thirty two years and still kicking… Not too bad.
Better Half and I are off celebrating in a little town that does not do fireworks (this is Kalifornistan, after all), but I thought I would leave [...]
You know you might have watched too much Firefly when you see visitor hits from Beaumont, Texas, and accidentally read it as Beaumonde.
Yeah…. my coat is kinda a brownish color, actually.
A while back, I finally had to go to registration-only comments due to the copious amounts of comment spam I had been receiving. Afterwards, commenting was a little slow, but considering I never really received that many [...]
Well, ladies and gentlemen, the second portion of my adult life is complete.
Kind of a bold statement, I know, and one really has to wonder how I, someone in their mid-20’s, can actually come out and say [...]
