Thin Green Line v1.6 - WordPress Theme

Thin Green Line v1.6 - WordPress Theme

Supports Wordpress 2.6+
This is a clean, snappy theme that is a conversion of the public domain template by the same name designed by the folks at SixShooterMedia. I really liked the style and class of this template so I converted it just for fun. I intend on periodicaly updating it with small tweaks [...]

Crimson Sunrise v1.5 - WordPress Theme

Crimson Sunrise v1.5 - WordPress Theme

Supports Wordpress 2.6+
Clean, classy, and crimson… that’s the best way to describe this theme. It supports widgets and discriminating tastes, and as you can see it’s fairly light with a fine classy polish. The navigation tabs add some transparent wow, and the look and feel is easy to sink into. This latest version of the [...]

Waiting for the weekend!

Waiting for the weekend!

I’m swamped with to-do’s. I won’t even start listing them… but one is to get our new Watkins Glen pictures up on my gallery (and by extension, Flickr… or vice versa). I also need to “discover” craigslist and put a bunch of furniture on there. Oh yeah, and upgrade WordPress to 2.6 [...]

Dallas city council is an intellectual black hole!

Dallas city council is an intellectual black hole!

I can’t let this go without commenting on it. For those who haven’t heard (and you are the lucky ones) there was a recent controversy on the Dallas city council over one commissioner[white] using the term “black hole” to describe the city’s central collection office… because paperwork goes in and never comes out.

I can’t blog this!?

I have a new Samsung Instinct phone through Sprint… and despite decent internet connectivity this is no way to blog. Pages take forever to load and the screen res is just too small.

Independence Day Prayer

Independence Day Prayer

For those sincerely appreciative of this great country, and the relatively cushy care-free lifestyle they’ve been blessed with, may they be granted further blessing. For those who are not… may they be cast out into the darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For our troops, grant them safe travels [...]

Who’s Discriminating Now?

Who’s Discriminating Now?

There was a time when a ballot measure banning race discrimination would have received the whole-hearted support of civil rights organizations. My how their principles change once the race discrimination is in their favor. I hate bigotry and hypocrisy equally.

Awww, isn’t dis wittle guy so… offensive!

Awww, isn’t dis wittle guy so… offensive!

Can you find what’s so outrageously offensive in the above ad? Well, duh… of course it’s got to be the puppy. This little guy is Rebel, a German Shepherd police dog “recruit” who’s been featured recently on police fliers in the Scottish town of Tayside. Now the Muslims in the nearby Dundee [...]

No Celtics On the Olympic Team!?

No Celtics On the Olympic Team!?

The 2008 NBA Champion Boston Celtics apparently had no players worthy of being sent to China to play for the US… despite spending the 2008 season wiping the court with the rest of the league. Oops… have I forgotten how successful our more flashy players can be in international play. We wouldn’t want [...]
