Hold my beer…

You may or may not have heard that Planet Fitness is having an issue. They let a tranny into the women’s locker room and when a woman took a picture and complained about it to management, they cancelled her membership. There were calls for a boycott and all sorts of stories trying to ‘soften’ the […]

Not my job

Ladies, it’s time for you to STFU and step up. Same for all of you virtue signaling guys as well. “The future is female!” you scream. “Equal pay!” you scream. You point to Caitlin Clark vs just the NBA league minimum and lament how that is unfair. The fact that you can say this with […]

Dead to me…

“There’s no crying in baseball!” ~ Jimmy Dugan, A League of Their Own Baseball has been around for what seems like forever. From tiny mitts and heavy, baggy uniforms to the sleek equipment that have today, baseball has seen it all. As long as I can remember I have loved baseball. My earliest memories of it were […]

Pain Levels

I have lived with pain in my joints for as long as I can remember. It was mostly background pain when younger, things you didn’t really notice, just took ‘an aspirin’ and went on about your business. Of course, playing volleyball and 16″ softball (which is anything BUT soft when new) didn’t help my fingers […]

Ukraine, again

Despite his plans to step down as party leader, McConnell said, “I’m not leaving the Senate.” He added, “I’m particularly involved in actually fighting back against the isolationist movement in my own party and so many others as well.” McConnell mentioned Ukraine’s fight against Russia, a cause to which the US has allocated tens of […]

good neighbors

When Mrs. TPoP and I bought our first house, we didn’t know any of our neighbors. Over the next few months, we discovered that the ones to our right went to high school with us. This made conversations pretty easy for a while. We also soon developed a friendship with the people living in the […]

immigrants

America is a nation of immigrants. Other than Native Americans, who also may have originated on another continent, everyone else got here first from somewhere else. After that, you got ‘native borns’. The colonies were founded by different European nations, and when America rebelled and won its freedom, you had people here from all over […]

A first for me

I have a fairly new machine at my current shop. It is perhaps three years old and runs pretty well. Mostly. The last few months there has been a clutch inside that is slipping. It spins until it sees another piece of paper then sends the paper forward thru the machine. Occasionally it doesn’t see […]
