Chattanooga bus crash producing quite the political hot potato.

On Sunday, we're apparently going from a high of 70 degrees to snow showers and 26 degrees in the evening.

Made the silly mistake of arguing with a holocaust denier online.

The last generation to see the number tattooed on their arms.

The last generation to see the survivors of the evil that humanity is capable of.,

I fear for their future.

@kdfrawg A long time ago, after my gunshot wound and resulting chronic headaches, I was prescribed strong pain killers. I was fortunate enough to learn to tough it out rather than over medicate as I never liked being numbed. Makes it easier to deal with the stuff I have going on now.

First major cold snap. Many broken bones in my past. Getting old. Pain.

I've discovered that bourbon is a HELL of a lot more effective than Advil or Motrin.,

@kdfrawg 49 degrees and raining. It was a short visit
