In one of my Viking groups, someone posted the typical I am Viking poser image. I replied: “Spikey leather and eye liner are not a Viking’s tells. His scars and beating heart are.

Russian and American astronauts are onboard the International Space Station (ISS). Nuclear war breaks out between the two nations. Each group of astronauts is ordered by their nation to take control of the ISS any way possible. What do you do? I think I would surrender. NASA is not military. American astronauts are not combatants. … [Read more…]
The first container company could not get up driveway on Thursday. So we had a local company deliver a container Saturday. Very friendly and competent driver. If you are in central Ohio, I highly recommend Bins Containers. Due to fuel prices, delivery was a bit much, but storage fees are less. They deliver to Ohio … [Read more…]
For more than seven years, I have wintered in hospitals, rehabs and nursing homes. Loosing the legs, becoming a double amputee knife maker did not happen suddenly. The legs came off a bit at a time. There was also the heart attacks, septic shock, and organ failure. Combined, although I fought it, I have spent … [Read more…]
