Ridin’ high

It’s Day 376 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve. I’m ok, Deb’s holding her own and Scout is back to being The Best Dog Ever. Credit for the pup’s quick recovery goes to...

Checkin’ boxes & more Seuss

It’s Day 346 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve. Deb and I are ok, thanks. Some of my friends may have seen me popping back up in a familiar place, separate from my Ubi Libertas Blog presence, and...

Here’s to great days

It’s Day 344 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve. As Deb and I (who are doing well today, by the way) get closer to our next escape, focused on applying what we’ve learned with the Bumper Bunker to The Ernie Experience...

Day 329: Jammin’

This is Day 329 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve. Deb and I are okie-dokie. And we’re gettin’ more snow. By the time it’s all over, this round could bring the most we’ve seen...

Day 327: Two good dogs, one good bar & a word of advice

This is Day 327 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve. Deb and I are just great. This post’s header image, a snapshot Deb took in our living room the other day, captures “that look” — it’s our girl Scout, our companion...

Day 325: Call it by name

This is Day 325 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve and Day 85 Ohio’s WuFlu Curfew. Deb and I are doin’ well. Each of our escapes last year came to a close, of course, when we arrived back at Second Chance Ranch and shut the engine off. The header image today...

Day 324: WBMFTTSTNE*

This is Day 324 of flattening a curve that can’t be and Day 84 of a curfew that isn’t. Deb and I are ok. We got another six inches of snow, maybe a bit more, here at Second Chance Ranch on Monday night, just like last week. As I was out doing my minimal shoveling...

Day 318: Shower song

This is Day 318 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve and Day 78 of Ohio’s 21-day WuFlu Curfew. Deb and I (who are just fine, by the way) went out to dinner with friends the other night. I could tell you about it in an ordinary way, or not at all...

Day 316: A week of disability

It’s Day 316 of The Oligarch Olympics and Day 76 of Ohio’s Boo-Hoo Curfew. Deb and I are well. Maybe it’s the vitamins. This is also Day Seven, for me, of being “disabled” by the planet’s biggest social-media platform. I still suspect...

Day 282: Fondly remembered

Here in Ohio we’ve had 267 extra days to “flatten the curve,” and an unenforceable 21-day curfew now has been in effect twice as long as originally advertised. Deb and I are doing well. Status quo, as they say. Flashing back yesterday to our 2012 trip to West (By God) Virginia triggered memories of the vehicle that took us there, a 2005 Chevy TrailBlazer...
