We need to support whoever is running against Mike Johnson. It would be funny if he wasn't re-elected and this was a moot point.

We are going to the Van Buren (AR) Fall Festival Saturday. Better than being home in Oklahoma.

As a retired person, YES! I'm tired of depositing money quarterly into Federal and state taxes because my income is distributed four ways and the withholding tables fail me.

I've been cranking, to the limit of my car stereo, DragonForce. I'm 68 years old.

I get Medicare email from Dr Oz. I treat it as spam, because it is fraud.

People have the false belief that the candidate with the most money wins. But that isn't democracy. We need campaigns like what Obama did, getting the vote out. And proclaiming the truth.

I'm officially old. BS in CS in 1981. Was working in IT when PCs came out. The BIOS of the originals left slats A: and B: open for floppy drivers, and started counting hard drives at C:. A second hard drive would be D:. Network drives usually started at F:, but that is another story.

Try the highway between Petros and Rocky Top TN. Half the distance there is no cell phone support. I used to buy Rand McNally atlases long ago.

I'm so glad I retired five years ago after working 40+ years in IT.

People complain about ICE being racist. Well, they recruited from groups like the Proud Boys and such. Most were Jan 6'rs, but all were racist following Trump.

In Durant, OK Trump said there was a drug factory that was also processing nuclear material so they took it out.

Amazon is in trouble. I ordered an exercise system, it got near me and disappeared. Canceled it, ordered a different unit. Amazon says it's in Katy, TX but the USPS tracking number says Little Rock, AR.

Iran needs to buy an atomic bomb from Pakistan, put it on a launcher on a ship. Sail to the coast of Florida and aim for Mar Lago when Trump is there.

So Trump wants to send help to Russia for their little plague issue. Let's send RFKjr. On a one-way ticket.

Happy Sputnik day! Never forget the lesson of Sputnik. The same rocket that put Sputnik in orbit above you could put an atomic bomb there.

I remember when that song came out. I later had a vinyl album with that song. I still have a CD of that album.

I was a fun guy Saturday. Changing oil in my garage, neighbor's young sons riding within short range of their home. I put out four traffic cones on the sidewalk across my driveway for kids to weave through. Each had their own fun.

My neighbor just traded his full size p/u for a small Buick SUV. I bet he doubled his gas mileage.

I miss our Presto Hot Dogger. Put 120V through up to 6 hot dogs, making them the heating element. Faster than a microwave.

I have a wonderful idea. If Trump doesn't want to be impeached and convicted, he can Nixon and resign.

Got a new grill today. Assembly wasn't bad. But the grilling grates had coating coming off. Called support. They asked for pop and pics of griddles. I should have new ones next week.

Just ignore the Federal numbers until regime change, and new crunchers take over.
