Reich of fools

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. […]

Mad about Harry

January 18, 2023 by Dave Knadler

prince harry and his ghost-written memoir Spare

I have not read Spare. Why bother? All the interesting excerpts are already out there. I have read those, for free. Spoiler: Prince Harry once froze his todger. Spending $18 at this point won’t make Harry’s life any better. He’s already pretty well off:  $60 million in the bank and a lot more where […]

The Cartwrights
stand their ground

michael landon in bonanza episode the stranger

One of these days I’m going to watch all 431 “Bonanza” episodes in order. I would like to tabulate, for my own edification, how many homicides the Cartwrights were involved in during the course of the series. I’m guessing quite a few.  The other night we were mindlessly scrolling for something to watch and […]

It’s a chatbot world

January 14, 2023 by Dave Knadler

I‘ve been messing around with ChatGPT, the AI chatbot that promises to take any writing project and remove the need for human involvement. As a blogger, I’m excited about this technology. Once I’m finally freed from this clacking keyboard, I’ll have lots more time to stare moodily into the middle distance. Or perhaps take […]

True crime confidential

January 13, 2023 by Dave Knadler

I probably need to lay off Dateline for awhile. It’s gotten to where I can identify the killer about 10 minutes into any episode.  When they get to the part about the “shocking new development” that “turns the case upside down” – let’s just say the development is not that shocking to Inspector Dave. […]

Don’t call it food

January 10, 2023 by Dave Knadler

  It was with great sadness that I read of the impending closure of the best restaurant in the world. Many’s the time I’d stop by after work for a couple of fruit-leather beetles and a grilled reindeer heart. That was some good eating. But nothing stays the same in this world, does it? […]

One enchanted evening

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

We watched “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” last night, thus ending my 57-year streak of not watching it. When someone else grabs the remote, you sometimes end up viewing stuff you might not choose alone. Here’s the IMDb synopsis: “A bitter, aging couple, with the help of alcohol, use their young houseguests to fuel […]
