UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

  1. “Oh, *that* kind of grave robbing? Lead on, Chuck!” 😈

  2. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    What? I say “What”?

  3. Heh, this is going to be fun. Tradition says you need to drink at least one bottle of MD 20/20 before going to the graveyard.

  4. At first I was thinking of something like a potato battery … nope!

  5. If you take a dead “D” cell battery, take out the carbon rod from the center, cut a strip of galvanized sheet metal about an inch (2.7 centimeters), take a small jar for canning, suspend the rod in the center and the strip on the side, pour in drain cleaner, you’ll get 1.2 to 1.4 volts DC. 10 of those connected to an inverter will give you 120 VAC at 0.5 amps. Do NOT keep them in the same area you live in however, the fumes will burn your lungs. Just something I learned in chem class in high school. You’d have to top-up the jars every few days, however. Any type of acid will work, even salt water. I think the teacher was a survivalist…

  6. Scheffler, Hovland and Conners Share the Lead at P.G.A. Championship
    Jordan Spieth, who needs a victory at Oak Hill to complete the career Grand Slam, and Justin Thomas, who won last year’s tournament, just made the cut at five over.

Did they miss me?

I gotta tell you folks, when you take as long a break as we just recently did you can wonder how it’ll be to “come back to work,” as it were. I did wonder at times. Thankfully, Dawn and I seem to have managed to slip right back into our groove.  Even better, so have Chuck and Rosa. Yeah, yeah, I’m assigning life-like qualities to beings that technically don’t exist. Writers are notorious for doing this with their creations. In fact we come up with all sorts of flights of fancy… I mean, what if all we’re doing is tapping into some alternate dimension where all the people and things we’re writing about are real? And what happens if they ever get wind of that and take us to multiverse claims court for using their likenesses without permission? It’s also not uncommon for writers to do their own forms of “dimension hopping” and intrude upon the worlds they’ve conjured to discuss all sort of existential issues. Grant Morrison famously did this in Animal Man, and Stephen King did it in his Dark Tower books. But that ain’t me. I’m just gonna say it felt like Rosa and Chuck welcomed me back along with the rest of you, like they’d just been on a long and peaceful coffee break waiting for me to give a knock on the door and summon them to the stage. Whether or not you buy into that hogwash, it probably at least says something about their strength of character.
