My Part is Done
I’m sure you all are tired of reading about my vehicle troubles. I’m sure this won’t be the last post about it. Base problem, the truck is 15 years old. It was given a new frame, but it is starting to age out. Major safety issues: Right front wheel bearing is bad Left front wheel…

50% done is half ass
This is filler as I’ve not looked at the news nor anything else on Friday. As I’m writing this at 1830 on Friday, my hands are almost as grease covered as the worker’s hands in the image. I’ve been up since 0700 and have been at work on the Truck since 0930. First stop, the…

One step forward …
Tuesday I picked Ally up at The Fort at No 4. On the way home, we stopped to do some banking and pick up some groceries. As we were walking to the bank I said, “Oh, it is closed.” “Why?” “Because it’s Sunday.” “Huh?” I then got home and posted “Tuesday Tunes” to show up…

Where there’s smoke, there are arsonists
Ally and I have had some long conversations about winning the hearts and minds of the middle. The common saying is, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” This is normally true. Sometimes it is not. In 2016, my parents expressed their disgust for Trump. They were convinced that he was doing horrible things. Today, there are…

TDS is a sickness
While scrolling through X, looking for something to write about, I stumbled on a posting regarding Trump’s annual physical and its results. /Trump’s 2025 Annual Physical Results The post and almost all the comments are of the “It’s a fake!” or “They’re lying!” His temperature is normal. That can’t be because it is just an…

Document Object Model
A modern website is a complex system of inter related pieces. Each of which must work correctly and communicate correctly with the other parts of the system. As website creators, we break the design into the Frontend and the Backend. The front end is anything the end user sees, while the back end is responsible…

How Many Languages Do You Speak?
In computer languages, there are very few that are structurally different. FORTRAN is like COBOL, which is like Pascal, which is like BASIC, which is like ADA, which is like … Forth is not like those above. Nor is APL or Lisp. Assembly languages can be used in structured ways, just like FORTRAN, COBOL, Pascal,…
