This is a political post. If interested, please scroll down.                                     I read electoral-vote.com daily. They are very astute. I love their observations. But the other day they basically dismissed Biden because of his his dabate performance. I was shocked….

  Last night, a strange and, no doubt, vicious creature got into my office. I’m please to report that I survived, unscathed.    

As I was born in Detroit (a 1957 model), I like keeping up with my birth city. For four decades the magnificent Michigan Central Station sat empty and ruined; the poster child for all that was wrong with the city. Then in 2018, Ford stunned everybody by announcing their purchase of the wholly derelict building…

…is wide.

  I have known, a bit, Andi for a number of years now. She came up to me recently and asked if I gave tours of the Cross House, as she had some good friends who had history with the house. We had a grand time with much laughing and exchanging stories. On the third…

Seven ago, a very attractive young Brit, Leo, purchased a famous sailing yacht with plans to restore her. Her every inch proved rotted. The attractive Brit did something which proved wise. He began vlogging on YouTube. Which now has almost 500K subscribers. Today, he dropped a video about the yacht touching water again for the…

In February, I posted about my Old Fine kitty. She used to be just simply Fine but about a year ago I started calling her Old Fine in recognition of her very advanced age. It has also been clear for some time that she was suffering from congestive heart failure. Yet, she was eating well,…

This is a political post. If interested please scroll down.                                 Since 2013, Democrats have been developing plans to improve border security and create a more humane way of immigrating. And guess what? Since 2013, Republicans have been blocking all…

This is a political post. If interested please scroll down.                               Recently, I did a post stating that I anticipate the #1 issue Republicans will use to attack Democrats will be our border with Mexico. Everything though that Republicans will assert…

I have been wanting new floor registers for my house. One website had some lovely registers but I could not decide which model I liked best. Then I realized that I did not have to pick just one. So, I picked my two favorite models. Scroll down…                …

This is a political post. If interested please scroll down.                                   This is an election year. So, prepare to be progressively bombarded every month leading up to November. You will though be bombarded with stuff that is reality-based, and…

At the beginning of the year my plan was thus: Finish the library. Finish the cat fence. Move into the Cross House. But life came along…as it is wont to do…and smacked me upside the head with a cosmic 2×4. At the end of April, just as I finished the Library, the city slapped me…

As y’all know, in August I discovered that I had lead poisoning. I learned that 3.5 is normal. Anything above 5 is considered a concern. And mine? 13.4. I abruptly stopped scraping off old lead paint from the Carriage House. A month later I had another test. The number had dropped to 11.6. Today I…
