    Scrambled Eggs!!

    That is military slang for the gold braid that senior officers wear on their hats; Lieutenant Colonel and up in the Army, Marines and Air Force, Commander and up in the Navy and Coast Guard. My family and our ancestors have served our country (and England before the Revolution) for at least 8...

    Armadillos

    Had them around for 20 years and could usually give the problem individuals lead poisoning before they did any major damage. Left the rest of them alone. Maybe that was a mistake. They are undermining the steps from both my porches.Since they are mainly nocturnal I haven't had an opportunity...

    Barefoot boy view of The Hideout today.

    I have to walk an hour or two every day. The Hideout's 120 acres of native range and woodland is a wonderful place to do that walking. I have to go pretty slow and use a staff, so I am seeing things that I used to see when I was a wee tad exploring the woods around my childhood home in North...

    All of my local stations currently broadcast analog signals on their channel number. Each also broadcasts HD signals on channel number point 1, and several have HD signals (weather, for example) on channel number point 2, point 3, point 4, etc. When analog broadcast goes away next month will...

    The wonderful, awful cookies.

    Yesterday afternoon I was at the kitchen sink and was surprised to see a couple of emaciated horses and a burro grazing in my back yard. I walked out to greet them and discovered a couple of distraught teen girls running up my drive calling to the steeds, followed by a man with a tub of grain...
