Jun. 2nd/3rd '2015 So, apparently it is not safe for men or women who wish to dress "inappropriately" in the Country of Uganda. And most especially in the "Iganga District". Yeah, those folks are kinda what we Americans used to called "old fashioned" or "prudish". Yes, it seems that women who wear "mini-skirts" and men who wear their pants (or Trousers as the British say) below their belt line are in danger of...

May 31st /Jun. 1st '2015 So, I will give Pennsylvania some credit. They have WILDLIFE. As in creatures or nature. Holy Guacamole folks, I can't go anywhere in this State without seeing Deer, or Rabbits or Turtles, or "Punxsutawney Phils" running around. They are literally everywhere you look! Western PA. is like...

May 30th/31st '2015 So, there is high absurdity around Bulgaria folks. Yeah, especially with the town of Nova Zagora, in southeastern Bulgaria. And most especially with it's Mayor, a man by the name of Nikolay Grozev. Yes folks, the good Mayor has ordered a Decree. An "official proclamation" if you will. The Honorable Mister Grozev was so upset with the rising number of fatal auto accidents in his municipality that he...

May 26th/27th '2015 So, I'm going to apologize in advance for any possible offense, because the last thing in the world I would ever want to do to any of you Dear Readers is offend you. But, the fact remains that I have an observation that is both true and absurd, so it must be shared. Are you ready? Are you sitting down? Do you have your "thick skin" on?

May 24th/25th '2015 So, I heard an observation on the radio today and it really made me think. Yeah, there is a terrible tradition in America of "we the people" turning every sacred and honorable commemoration into an excuse to shop "the sales" that are advertised by the various chain stores and then celebrating a day off from work and simply enjoying an excuse to party with friends instead of remembering the...

May 23rd/24th '2015 So, working on the road and away from home is a challenging type of lifestyle that most people never experience and certainly don't fully understand. Of course, truck drivers and military folks know full well what I am referring to, but for the rest of you, here is the long and short of it. First of all, there is no "weekend". There is no "Thank God its Friday!" on the road. There is no sleep-in Saturdays or lazy Sundays either. Your two days off each week are...

May 21st/22nd '2015 So, did you see THIS absurdity in the news? Probably not. But thats OK, because you visit me to get all of your absurd news, so now you just did. Anyway, the topic of today's edition is this - at what point does a "victim" become forced to assume a bit of personal responsibility for their own circumstances. In other words, are you a "victim" or just a plain old "idiot" if you pay $35 for a...

May 19th/20th '2015 So, I'm currently working in a mountainous region of our country and I have found that the normal a.m. radio offerings I usually avail myself of are unavailable. This is how I stumbled upon a local NPR affiliate on the f.m. dial that was broadcasting something other than their usual "liberals good, conservatives bad" narrative. Yeah, they were exploring a topic that I found both interesting and absurd. It is called...

May 17th/18th '2015 So, I apologize for the lack of updates these past few days folks, but the "real world" of work and earning money must come first. Anyway, today's edition is all about how there is no such thing as simply "news". In other words, the news used to be a plain and simple relaying of the facts as they happened. You know, like...

May 13th/14th '2015 So, it has happened again, but this time it was directed towards my Wife. I am referring to the stupid "Phone Scammers" of our world. I honestly can't believe some folks actually fall for this crap, but apparently they do or the morons would not still be attempting it. Now for those of you who are long time readers of me, you may recall...

May 7th/8th '2015 So, so did you happen to see this article? Sometimes even large businesses in America become completely absurd. The Mars Company, maker of the confectionery treats "snickers" and "twixt bars", has announced that even though they manufacture and sell the candy known as "M & M's", they don't want you to eat too many. WHAT?!?!?! Yes, you read that correctly. The Mars company is...

Yeah, if you've ever had all of your belongings packed up randomly by strangers then you know what the meaning of absurdity is. If you haven't, count your blessings and give thanks to God because it is no fun at all. Of course, my Wife has done everything around here thus far since...

It could be a house, or an apartment, or a condo, or a friend's place, or even a Parent's house where you have been "crashing" for going on......forever. People tend to like to stay in one place. People like to...

May 4th/5th '2015 So, you can learn a whole lot about the people in different parts of the country by what kind of programming they have on the radio. Unlike television which seems to be fairly uniform throughout America, radio is still very much a "local" or "regional" medium. I like to listen to local a.m. talk radio no matter what "market" I am in. ("market" is a fancy radio advertising term that roughly translated means...
