November 4th Election

For my sins I live in Columbus, Ohio, which sits in self-proclaimed splendor in the middle of Franklin County, which is in the middle of the great State of Ohio. Or so I'm told.

The city of Columbus is run by a group of Democrats who are so incompetent that with just a little more effort, the place will look and feel like Los Angeles, California. We've got an election coming up on November 4th, and all the offices are uncontested. There's not a Republican to be found anywhere. What's worse is the property tax situation, which I'll describe below.

Keep reading as you like.

Gun Shows and Private Sales

 Where've you been Jack?

I've been away. No, not that kind of away Glen Filthie, and I'll thank you in advance for not making obscene noises during this impromptu apologue. I went to Sylvania, Ohio to visit my brother California Dave, who is staying at his dear old mother's condominium while she's someplace in Pennsylvania. I arrived on Wednesday, October 8th, 2025. Although many pointless and annoying deeds were done during my visit, the main event was the gun show on Saturday.

Keep reading as it amuses you to do so, but I must warn you that if you're a freedom hating liberal of any stripe, go read the fiction on CNN. You'll be happier and you won't find me or anyone like me on CNN - I don't read CNN for the same reasons I don't drink water from the toilet.

Happy Birthday!

Today is my birthday. I was born on October 2nd, 1952 (a Thursday) at around 6:00 AM. That makes me 73 years old today, and believe me when I say I can really feel it. This gettin' old business ain't for sissies.

Tonight I'm going out to dinner with my brother Big Mike. His birthday is on the fifth, which is highly appropriate. 

At my age I suppose I should pontificate a bit, and so I shall. I've watched civilization in the U.S. change from the late 1950s through the turn of the century up through today, and I've seen things I never thought I'd see. I stay away from crowds and downtown events because of the very real possibility that a riot or shooting or both might break out. I grew up without helicopter parents or a readily available phone. I got vaccinated for polio, and that was that.

There's more, but I'm tired of writing. Have a great day and thanks for reading!
