Yay, Joe Biden won. But the rot that exists inside the United States, mostly with brain-dead right-wingers who are spoon-fed fascist propaganda 24 hours a day by a network owned by a nihilistic, elderly Australian billionaire, is not going anywhere any time soon I assure you. The President has gotten his fake DOJ investigation andContinue reading “I regret to remind you that the United States is absolutely fucked”

Our long national nightmare is (almost) over – for now
It would be fair to say I have a lot of feelings and emotions about the confirmation that Joe Biden will become the next president of the United States in 75 days. Of course, relief is the most overwhelming one. I’ve been very clear that the re-election of Donald Trump could have been the deathContinue reading “Our long national nightmare is (almost) over – for now”
Quick update/VOTE!
Yes, things have been quiet around here. With the latest surge in COVID-19 cases we’ve been holed up at home and trying to organize where we can for our move, but much like the rest of the world, we’re just waiting to see what happens with the election this week. For our part, we votedContinue reading “Quick update/VOTE!”
Sold!
After a whirlwind weekend that saw our home booked for somewhere around 20 showings, we received four offers and just signed the paperwork on a purchase agreement to sell the house for considerably over the asking price. (If everything proceeds as scheduled, it’ll be a matter of public record, but for now don’t want toContinue reading “Sold!”
Goodbye, good boy
We had to say goodbye today to our beloved Houston dog. His joint and hip problems kept getting worse and worse and he wasn’t going to be able to handle either being dragged in and out of the house for showings or even to a doggie daycare. The truth is we probably let ourselves beContinue reading “Goodbye, good boy”
Who wants to buy a house in Las Vegas?
Our house is officially for sale. You can see the listing here for yourself. We’re not scheduling any showings until Friday to hopefully build interest and then in this supposedly seller-friendly real estate market the hope is to have received an offer by the weekend. It’s all very exciting of course and the culmination ofContinue reading “Who wants to buy a house in Las Vegas?”
And the house is on the market
Well, almost. Technically it doesn’t go on MLS sites and all of that officially until Tuesday, but we signed all of the paperwork with the Realtors today and are listing the house at $360,000. Everyone says it will go quick, but we’re trying to temper expectations around here. Still it’s an exciting time. The lastContinue reading “And the house is on the market”
Going Out Of Business Sale!!!
It’s been a quiet week at the ‘ol blog here, but not for us. We’ve been working 16-hour days getting things ready for our moving/garage sale this weekend, which starts this morning. I’ve been working all day at work and then the evenings and poor Tanya has been working literally all day, but we gotContinue reading “Going Out Of Business Sale!!!”
In remembrance of 1 October
October 1st will always be a rough day for me, no matter where I may live. Today is the third anniversary of the worst mass shooting in American history, a distinction I fear that will be surpassed in the near future, just as it didn’t take but about 14 months for the shooting at PulseContinue reading “In remembrance of 1 October”
America is now a mafia state
Wanted to share this really great interview with Sarah Kendzior, a scholar of authoritarianism who has written an excellent book recently about Donald Trump, which frames him correctly not as a “corrupt politician” but as the head of an international crime syndicate. Just take the 5 to 10 minutes to read the interview, but wantedContinue reading “America is now a mafia state”
