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 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 322: How to spot an enemy of Liberty
It’s Day 322 of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve and Day 82 of Ohio’s WuFlu Curfew. Deb and I are well, but this winter sucks. In today’s header image you’re looking at a simple meal — a couple of hot dogs garnished with jalapeño relish, a big serving of...

Day 320: Camping, Coulter & comments
It’s Day 320 of The First Ohio Shutdown and Day 80 of Ohio’s WuFlu Curfew. Deb and I are well. My introduction to camping didn’t come from family. There were no outdoorsmen among my close blood relations. When we took...
Day 315: Take it back
This is Day 315 of The First Ohio Shutdown and Day 75 of That Curfew Thing. Deb and I are ok. Today, once again, the Ubi Libertas header image isn’t a picture of knife. I didn’t take the photo recently...
Day 314: The Extreme, Part I
It's Day 314 of flattening a 15-day curve and Day 74 of a three-week curfew. Deb and I are well. Yesterday morning she observed that my header images lately have all been...
Day 284: One-one-two-one
Welcome to 2021, my friends. Deb and I are well. Full disclosure: We broke tradition and actually did go out for a while on New Year’s Eve. After gassing-up Deb’s near-empty truck we settled in at Squeek’s for a big ol’ plate of nachos — made with love by...
