No, you are not seeing things. You do not need to adjust your screens. I am seeing the same thing you are, so cancel that visit to the optometrist. To paraphrase the bald kid from the Matrix: “There is no tree.” This prompts me to make the absolutely very last post on the Tree of… Read more »
I know not to do it. You know not to do it. Heck, everyone knows not to do it. I’m counting my chickens. And taking a victory lap. Will I jinx it? Can I snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Follow along and find out why I say the pen is mighty, but an… Read more »

Country folk hate city folk. And vice versa. And on and on. We have deep-rooted hatreds in America. Despite our “enlightened”… Read more »
