I have a confession to make. Folks in North Idaho communicate with each other through Facebook. Yep, a few have their own websites, but my wife has proved to me that to keep up on activities here, you need a Facebook account.

“La La La I Can’t Hear You”
Yep. It’s about unanimous that my immediate family (and a few others) are unsupportive of me. Somehow, I’m expected to be miserable for the rest of my life and must continue to pine over my deceased wife until I too wind up in the grave. I’ve gone from irritated to just plain done with the…

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.

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.
