"First post from the WordPress IOS app, to auto-publish to Facebook." Welcome to the new world, Brian. It's going to be a brave new world. You are such an early adopter at times, then other times, you are so reluctant to change or to try out things. No more typing into a FB small text entry window with all of its quirks and/or bugs. This seems a lot easier than typing up your post in FB, and then … [Read more...]

Build of Busted Knuckle Garage
April 24, 2017 By
This is a structure I built last night and "painted" (weathered) tonight. Still needs roofing shingles to be put on, as well as the signs.

President Trump’s State of the Union Address – “unemployment”
February 27, 2017 By

Let's take a few minutes to dissect that number to judge the validity of that statement. There are roughly 323 million people living in the United States. If there were 94 million people unemployed, that would mean, the unemployment rate is now at 29%. In 1933, in the … [Read more...]
