Later, alligator

March 22, 2023 by Dave Knadler 9 Comments

After 13 years, we’ve decided to quit Florida. I don’t expect to miss it much.   I’ve realized I’m not a beach guy. I’m not a Jimmy Buffett guy. I hate theme parks and I hate I-95 and I’m not fond of the year-round bugs and humidity. I’ve never gotten used to the sodden air […]

A writer on top
of the short-story game

March 19, 2023 by Dave Knadler 2 Comments

I’ve talked about George Saunders here before. Love his work.  Having just finished his latest collection of short stories, “Liberation Day,” I don’t love it any less.  Like most story collections, many of these have appeared earlier in various places. My favorite of the bunch, “A Mom of Bold Action,” first ran in the […]

A is for ‘Artificial’

February 18, 2023 by Dave Knadler

You’ve probably heard about the New York Times reporter who was creeped out by his conversation with Microsoft’s new chatbot.  The reporter kept pressing questions to which there was no factual answer, and the chatbot eventually started returning responses that, if uttered by a person, would seem kind of ominous. That includes professing love […]

Up, up and … down

February 4, 2023 by Dave Knadler

We were tracking that Chinese spy balloon here at the Warehouse. But now it’s been shot down off the Carolinas. Biden says U.S. fighters took care of it, but did they? We don’t trust the government. We trust MAGA and Marge Greene.   Yes, the balloon was at an altitude somewhat beyond the range of […]

Like a good neighbor

February 3, 2023 by Dave Knadler

neighbors with mini bikes.

There’s something about being an older white guy in America: At some point you feel like the kids need to get off your lawn. Figuratively speaking.  We got some new neighbors a few weeks ago. This neighborhood is OK, but there’s a somewhat decrepit rental house across the street. It’s so decrepit that it […]

Farewell to Covid

January 31, 2023 by Dave Knadler

Cute couple with kn95 masks

To the best of my knowledge, I still haven’t gotten Covid. I would like to thank my superhuman immune system, my strict adherence to scientific protocols, and a social circle that could fit comfortably in a Mazda Miata. Oh, and the Academy. Just kidding. At this point it’s all down to luck. Nearly everyone […]

swastika on CSX building in Jacksonville

These damned Nazis. They’re having a moment now in Florida. The other night, when the Jacksonville Jaguars were playing here for a wild-card spot, some cretins thought to project the image of a swastika – entangled with a cross – on a building within view of the stadium.  Yeah, the swastika and the cross. […]
