Living the Nightmare (Updated May 6).
Original January 25, 2021 Post: Below is a lightly revised post I made to Facebook back on December 17th. I decided to bring it over here to have it within easy reach, and also so I could number each of the entries. After I first posted the picture above, a commenter of another political stripe…
Movies Seen Recently: Transporter 2, The Game, Dune Drifter
Transporter 2 (2005) – I actually like this one better than the original. The mainspring to the plot of first Transporter movie was Frank (Jason Statham) stepping outside his strict self-imposed rules for no good reason, and it got sillier and schmaltzier from there.

Doesn’t look impoverished, either. But pretty forgettable for all that. Which is why this description is so short. Blind Fury (1989) – I really,…
Sketch of the Day Omnibus Post.
My sketch-of-the-day posting has been a little spotty; late last week my modem died, and I’ve been trying to be frugal in the use of my hotspot for desktop internet access. (Apparently DSL modems are ancient technology. Who knew?) Three posted for sale in my Etsy shop… …and two from my sketchbook:
Bigger Than the Big Lie.
[I posted this on MeWe today, and wanted to reproduce it someplace where it would be easier to find.] The left loved to toss around “The Big Lie” when discussing Trump’s allegations of widespread voter fraud. Here’s the thing: There’s an entire category difference between an assertion which may be factually false (I’m not saying…
