(Old Style Medical Emergency). Had a chat this morning with pals in Colorado and down on the Chesapeake. The former reported -15F, with a slow increase to maybe -5 later in the morning. Chesapeake reports rain and much “warmer” in the 30s, which is about where we are in Virginia’s gentle-climed Piedmont. The nice Lady […]

So, the Saturday Zoom call got squashed by the ice storm out in Pac NORWEST. We rescheduled for Sunday, eager to talk about what happened on the Hill, but it turned out to be not much. They tried to impeach the former President again, or they actually did impeach him- again- and he was acquitted. […]

(Our modest Virginia snow and ice. More to come today. I could show you a picture of the truck-wreck, but I think this is illustrative enough, you know?) Oh, I know things are not going to amount to much, but the icy rain in Texas contributed to dozens of accidents. The nice lady in Red […]

Editor’s Note: There is some stuff going on all around us that is extremely interesting, and while tinged with some of the appurtenances of the old United States, seems like something altogether new. It will be fun to see it unfold, and naturally the entire editorial slate was summoned for critical theory indoctrination and the […]

Well, we are doubling down on some crazy stuff this week. A look at the number of extra-constitutional decrees from the Oval Office is interesting. One positive note, President Biden seems to be able to perform on camera, which is an improvement from his description by opponents as being in cognitive decline. Of course, the […]

It is cool living in these times. There is excitement in the air. I thought we had seen it all- generally good economic times, fending off international threats with fair success. The air was cleaner than it was in our youth. We were free to do just about anything legal. Not a perfect system, since […]

The snow came like they said it would. Prediction was a little off, of course. The nice lady in the red dress said it would be “one o’clock.” I had to do some presumptive work on that one, since she could have meant tomorrow after lunch or that tiny little hour in the darkness while […]

I got all wound up last night after reading the article in what used to be Time Magazine by a journalist named Mollie Ball. She enthused at length about the people who saved the Election. They saved it by…well, you know. I must have been enthused with excitement about the unity showed by the AFL-CIO […]

Bryce Update (Bryce Resort reported some Virginia ‘powder’ snow this week.) Editor’s Note: Socotra LLC is not delving into real estate, nor speculation. We accidentally helped sell the property next door to world famous Refuge Farm, but that is another unrelated event in the ones we string together to make our lives. This came from […]

Another interesting week and ripples swirl on the exposed part of the Swamp. Retired General Austin has taken his post as Secretary of Defense. His first decree was to announce a “60 Day Stand Down” for DoD to ensure the new Administration’s priorities are implemented across the Department, including the spooky parts. There are some […]
