On this day…

Just passing the time here. Killing trees one tiny trading card at a time.

2022: Day 88 – Odin Unit

I am grateful to the British, American, and Ukrainian soldiers volunteering in Odin Unit and other organizations to help defend Ukraine from the Russian fool.

2022: Day 85 – Taylor Hawkins

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be rock drummers. Ringo Starr aside, rock drummers seem to almost be cursed. You will be missed, Taylor Hawkins.

2022: Day 82 – Madeleine Albright

Go well, Madame Secretary. Thank you for sharing your brilliance, resilience, compassion, and strength with your fellow Americans.

2022: Day 74 – Pierre Zakrzewski

Sometimes, even Fox News has to face reality. I may not respect the organization you worked for, Pierre, but I respect the work and sacrifice. Go well.

2022: Day 68 – Irpin

Today I'm grateful that I didn't choose a career in politics. I am almost always against war -- yet I find myself feeling like Ukraine could use some help. F-ing politics. FU Putin.

2022: Day 67 – Brittney Griner

Wherever you are, I hope you are being treated well and that you are able to return to your home and family soon.

2022: Day 66 – The Comet Line

As part of the Comet Line in World War II, Monique Hanotte helped over 100 allied soldiers escape German-occupied Belgium. Never underestimate women. Go well, Ms. Hanotte.

2022: Day 58 – Mardi Gras

On February 27, 1827, the first Mardi Gras to be held in New Orleans after Louisiana officially became a state, began. Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!

2022: Day 57 – Hearts of Lions

Black regiments, soldiers, nurses, and others served heroically and selflessly in the US Civil war. It was one of many examples of a people fighting for their country despite how they were treated by it. Congress is finally considering formal recognition of these...

2022: Day 56 – Hank the Tank

Bar the door and lock up your food, Tahoe dwellers. Hank the Tank and his pals are hungry and they don't care about your security systems.

2022: Day 54 – Thank you, Mr. Easley

Projects like these daily news sketches are excuses to look beyond what we do in some of our normal routines. Without this, I may have never heard of Joe Tom Easley who served his country and its citizens. From fighting for his country to fighting for gay rights, he...

2022: Day 53 – Hello, Dolly

Twenty-five years ago, scientists cloned a sheep. How far have we come since then? Have advancements improved our lives?

2022: Day 51 – Plastics? Nope. Asphalt.

The asphalt industry may be the big winner in the infrastructure bill. We all like a well-maintained road. Is asphalt the bomb? I don't know. Go ask your mom.
