We don’t mean to say it in a bad way. But it certainly is a jumble this morning, isn’t it? Example: We had a big stir here in the Washington Post about the Northern Lights being visible here as a result of the current solar disturbances. You can see that is a purely relative display […]

We just had a flurry of fun with this project. Not the first time for fun, but this time it was something new. The below was the Chairman’s first book. It was done around the time dinosaurs ruled the planet in 1979. This is what it looked like the first time we saw it, only […]

Milton is an apt name for a storm, and the impact of them on paradise. The poet said it in “Paradise Lost” but last night’s storm has left much of what where it was, though covered with debris. The full damage inflicted is not yet known. There is talk of tornedoes and storm surge on […]

Those were the words from a lady in North Carolina who said “if you come for the looky-loo on the storm damage, you out to try to help.” Good watch words with the anniversary last year’s horror that started some of the others we have shared through the messaging of the lst year.

Down on The Farm? We got a minor entanglement with the treasurer’s office that caused us to consider residency stuff there and here. And over there. Residency and jurisdiction are just some of the issues in the air and this one was on the windshield this week. Virginia permits assessments of personal property to be […]

So, Surprise Tuesday is coming up, and we thought we would give a gentle reminder. Not a flashing red light, or a siren or any of that. The annoying claxon horns have been rattling for so many months now that is time to calmly and reasonably look at the horizon and recognize what we all […]

Legal told us to insert the reminder that the opinions contained below- and above- are those of independent contractors and necessarily those of Socotra House Publications, LLC, Arlington, VA.
