I dedicate this clip to Trump. After watching his "100 Days" interview on CNN, I feel dumber.

How the hell is Trump in Italy? I thought convicted criminals were not allowed to travel outside of the U.S. Italy should arrest and deport him.

It's incredible how easily everyone in this administration lies. "Lies." That's an old-fashioned word, but a beautiful word. It means sort of not telling the truth. Everybody knows this administration does it better than anyone, anywhere at levels never seen before.

If the Minnesota Twins lose their first home game of the season this year -- which is today -- they won't be able to serve beer at the stadium anymore.

Because, you can't get beer out of the bottle if you lose the opener!

Hey! Why hasn't Trump visited Toronto, the site of the most recent horrific plane crash? Oh yeah, that's right: convicted felons aren't allowed in Canada.

After four inches of light snow in Winona, Minnesota, last night (Feb. 14, 2025), I bought an EGO 24-inch self-propelled two-stage snowblower. Today I tried it out for the first time and made this short video.

There is no such thing as The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Only Congress can create a new federal agency. Anything Musk and his fake department does or says is fake, and should not be honored by government employees.

I just checked Google Earth (2-10-2025) and it shows the name of the body of water between Texas, Florida and the Yucatan Peninsula as "Gulf of America." I find this to be irritating, ridiculous and a little offensive.

The "Mystery To Me" album by Fleetwood Mac is one of my all-time favorite albums. And, while their version of "For Your Love" is great, The best song on the album, that I never get tired of hearing, is Bob Welch's "Hypnotized."

Is that Multnomah Falls? Our daughter lived in McMinnville, Oregon, for a couple years and we loved visiting all the parks and waterfalls in the area.

Hey... I liked that song and played it on a couple radio stations I programmed in the 1980s. Great acoustic guitar riff intro and good crunchy guitar solo and fills in the middle of the song.
