Do you know where your dongle is?
"I'm afraid your dongle is missing."
"Is that bad?"
"Yes. Yes it is. Your device will no longer work. You should always keep track of your dongle!"
"So my dongle is important then?"
"Yes. It certainly is. A man should always know where his dongle is at all times. I check my dongle each day to be sure it is functioning properly."
"Gollee!"
"It is only responsible to know about your dongle and about how to keep it safe."
"OK. Thank you."
"You're welcome. And remember, make sure to keep track of your dongle at all times."

Dr. Seuss Flower
If God ever asked Dr. Seuss to design a flower, it would have been the Bull Thistle. With it's large size, thorns, fluffy purple head and parachute seeds, it surely fills the bill.

Your face with a dog's tongue.
You holding a gun.
You and your pit bull.
Your tattoos.
Multiple pictures of you and your motorcycle.
Multiple pictures of you posing for selfies.
You posing with the carcass of an animal that you shot.
You being drunk and holding a drink.
You smoking anything.
You sitting in a car.
You partially dressed.
You making a gang sign.

Which Lives Matter?
I can't help but notice that when a child gets caught in gang crossfire, there is no protest. When an African-American is shot by another African-American, there is no protest. But when a black life is taken by a police officer, people are lying down on the freeway. If I take a step back and look at that picture, it seems that a lot of emphasis is being put on a little symptom of a much larger societal problem. But, that's just my opinion and if I disagree with the protest I might be called a racist. Still, regardless of what "color" the child is (Note* my biracial child says that we are all brown), it breaks my heart when one gets injured or killed. And it hurts my faith in humanity when no one stops (traffic) to cry with me.

If Black Lives Matter...
Do something to stop the violence. Go protest for a baby who was shot in the head.

NUC
I'm building a NUC. It is a PC that is roughly 4" x 4" x 2" (or maybe smaller). The hard drive and memory are purchased separately and this little unit has a 250 GB hard drive and 16 GB of RAM. It comes with built-in WiFi and that hard drive looks like a memory stick and (of course) there is no cooling fan.

Repugnant
Repugnant
Unassociated Press
June 8, 2017
Iran called Donald Trump's comments about terrorist attacks "repugnant." After Trump looked up the word repugnant, he cleverly countered by calling Iran a loser...

Christoper Columbus Memorial
Christopher Columbus was a hero when I was a child. But that was before the era of political correctness and a lot has changed since then. "Columbus Day" is no longer a "holiday" like it was when I was a kid in school. Of course, back then, "Martin Luther King Day" was not a holiday. Columbus has now been linked to slavery and crimes against indigenous peoples.
So, I was quite surprised to find a Christopher Columbus memorial (from 1931) on the Minnesota State Capitol grounds!

I Disagree with Trump on Paris Climate Pact
Dear People of Planet Earth,
As an American citizen, I would like to go on record that I disagree with President Donald Trump's decision to quit the Paris Climate Agreement. He did this without my approval. In fact, it appears to have been done without the approval of most American citizens. This is shameful in so many ways in a country that is supposed to be governed of the people, by the people.
Sincerely,
Kevin J. Curtis
