But, do we sufficiently outnumber the smugly ignorant oligarch-acolytes and the chronically indifferent?

"Driving" into a ditch? How about careening on two wheels, tweaked up on crystal meth, aimlessly firing a pistol out the window, blaring Kid Rock through blown speakers, naked, into a toxic waste pond...again?

Will somebody explain how those who loudly promote the 2nd Amendment as an antidote for government overreach simultaneously cheer federal secret police and armed troops on U.S. soil?

Sign says "Only One America King" with a photo of rock and roll legend Elvis Presley, who was often referred to as "The King."

Over 90°F with high humidity in New Orleans (what else is new?) but great turnout for #NoKingsDay. Here my wife displays a sign we co-created.

Last Delgado Dolphins home game of the season (vs. Baton Rouge Community College). Listen live dolphinradio.org (I'm producing/engineering)

It really isn't half--closer to a third--but they're really, really noisy (and smugly ignorant). *sigh*

I'm proud to honor the "No Buy Friday" boycott. Of course, I also have yet to get out of bed, so....

Just as the night follows the day, First Felon supporters on social media will respond to reasoned arguments and critical thinking like a toddler with Daddy's iPhone: "🤣🤣🤣🤣" Ignorance is curable; smug, arrogant ignorance? Not so much....

Soooo glad I never have to grade another paper or score another exam!

Happy 2025 to all, especially the people I've never met who, for some inexplicable reason, follow me here. Here's hoping your new year is utterly peachy!

I have an account at a wholesaler that sells computer networking gear. Went by for some Ethernet jumpers for my community radio station. Noted they were made in China, and said the $11 pack could be $22 next year. Clerk replied with glee, "Yeah, but then you can charge your client $44!"

Sigh...

• An artist needs more than just one brush or a single color of paint.
• A gardener uses many tools to help things grow.
• These things, like you, bring me joy.
• This thing is @#$%ing cool! Watch this!

Okay...maybe NOT the last one....

Good catch! I've reached a point where I no longer get sunburn, I go straight to basal cell carcinoma! I've had so many things sliced off, frozen off, and nuked off, I've lost count. Wouldn't it be something if it turned out RF exposure played a role? Naahh!

Much, much neater than my shack! No, really.

At first I thought it odd that strangers would "follow" me on here and I would follow 'em back, but then I realized I've kinda been doing something similar since my first 40m CW QSO back in '68. Then I thought, "1968? Geez, I'm old!" Next thing I'll be rambling on about bodily functions on 75m!

"Moving on" and "putting the election behind us" is kumbaya BS. It's as if your ne'er-do-well brother-in-law set up a meth lab in your living room and relatives say you shouldn't kick his skeevy @$$ out because he's "an entrepreneur" and doing so would "hurt family unity."

Wowsers! Ham radio stuff on social media without the taint of 7.200 or 14.313 wafting about? 73 de K5IQ
