27 Ford vehicles showed-up in the parking lot where I work over the last week. All are new fleet vehicles with spot lights on driver and passenger sides and generic paint jobs. Clearly someone is about to upgrade vehicles for use in law enforcement. It’s just strange what kind of things folks leave in the…

Review: Palermo Restaurant
Palermo has been around for forever in my hometown. I never think about it when it comes to Italian food, even though I have been there 3 times prior. It is a family-owned restaurant that clams to make Italian food from scratch. Let’s get to the review! Blogger Note: on this trip we were in…

I told my girl that I wanted a burger and a beer. I’m not much of a drinker but it just sounded good. We hopped in the car and drove for about 20 minutes to somewhere I’d never been before. We parked next to a McDonald’s—not a good omen—and then went for a walk. We…

Blogger’s note: I could not find anything on the interwebs supporting the claim that rapper/performer “Bad Bunny” is transgender. The other day, apparently the NFL’s Superbowl committee announced the halftime performer as singer/performer/rapper (to be honest I do not know) Bad Bunny. 90-day guy was predictably outraged. He announced this and I wondered aloud…. Is…

Donald Trump is taking a victory lap for getting Hamas to release the Israeli hostages after two years of “war.” Can you say, “Pyric victory.” Sorry, but this is just a pause in hostilities so both sides can regroup. Hamas has no hostages, so now Israel can blow-up stuff with impunity. Also, thanks to Trump,…

For those of you paying attention or not, Zohran Mamdani is running to be the next Mayor of New York City. If you believe the polls, he is going to win. The current Mayor Eric Adams is running but had to be pardoned by Trump and is deeply unpopular. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo is running,…
