The Indecision of Mr. Goodell
I’ve had this ESPN article loaded in a tab for almost a week now, without reading it. I figured a bit of distance would make the article less likely to make me angry. It didn’t work. As I write this, … Continue reading
A Tale of Two Buildings, and other thoughts on The Christmas Blizzard
I make no secret that my day job is doing Facilities Maintenance at a large local grocery store. At my particular location, there are two buildings. The older building, built in 1977, originally housed The Store until 1996, when the … Continue reading
A dispatch from the 716….
That was a three-day stretch to remember. And we didn’t even get the brunt of it this time. I honestly don’t recall a previous time when we lived under an official blizzard warning. Winter weather, winter storms, sure…but an actual according-to-Hoyle … Continue reading

They don’t make Honorary Sheriffs like they used to
Since Herschel Walker is apparently citing his status as being an “Honorary Sheriff” or some such thing among his law enforcement expertise credentials, I’m reminded of this scene from the brilliant film Inherit the Wind. The more things change….
A long time ago, in a Queue far, far away….
Respect the Queue. You may only enter the Queue at the end. Attempt no other point of entry. Do not stop moving along the Queue, for any reason. Do not allow anyone to join you in the Queue. Do not … Continue reading
Someone’s gonna be re-taking “Knots 101”
Imagine you’re in charge of piloting a tug boat, pulling a barge, from Erie, PA to Buffalo, NY. At 4:30am or so you finally make port in Buffalo, pleasantly cheered by the good time you’ve made on a breezy night … Continue reading
