Yeah, I’d go on vacation, too
As Rasmussen reports this morning: The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14. These figures mark the lowest Approval […]
More gratuitous dog-blogging
I’ve got a new camera (a Nikon D-5000) and have been trying it out. This (above) is Howling Wingnut, known simply as Winnie. And here’s her sister, Barking Moonbat, aka Marti (short for Martian — which Sandra thought she looked like as a puppy): Here’s Winnie again, showing off her fierceness: Meanwhile, here’s Marti with […]
Marching on Washington: 9/12/09
[Hat tip to Ace of Spades for the photo; no, that’s not me, but I wish it were.] Sandra and I are flying from Denver to Washington DC next month to march on the Capitol on 9/12. As someone who was a registered Democrat for 37 years until last fall, I am appalled at the […]
Project 2,996: Remembering the 9/11 Dead
Three years ago, I participated in Project 2,996, an effort to remember all those killed in the 9/11 attacks. I was randomly assigned Rob Peraza; in the process of writing my tribute to him, I ended up having contact with his family and was able to express my heartfelt condolences to them. Project 2,996 is […]

Welcome to adulthood
It’s scary at times how well Randall Munroe (author of xkcd) captures our inner thoughts. ..bruce w..
Brisket-blogging: Sunday morning aftermath
OK, I had planned to blog more (and post more photos), but once things got rolling Friday morning, I was pretty much too busy. Here’s how the cooking schedule turned out: Friday, 6 am to 2 pm: smoked 4 briskets, which I then double-wrapped in foil and put into a 180-degree oven (until Saturday afternoon). […]
Brisket blogging update: Friday morning
Yes, I did get up at 5 am this morning and started up the coals in the smoker’s firebox. The flames were visible at first, and given that our deck can be seen by lots of houses (and a few roads) for quite some distance, I had concerns about the fire department being called. Fortunately, […]
Brisket blogging update: Thursday
I’ve just spent an hour or two cleaning both the smoker (which I haven’t used since last October) and the grill (which I haven’t used in since at least April). I now feel quite virtuous, probably unduly so. I’ve had six (6) briskets, each weighing about 7 lbs, marinading since yesterday, along with 3 elk […]
