Grill that Corn

Whenever I buy corn, I see people peeling it at the store and throwing away the husk. I understand that you want to see what's under there. But the corn lasts longer if it's in the husk. I like to keep mine in the refrigerator in a paper bag. I don't use plastic because it will sweat. I like the husk on my corn, because I like to grill corn. When it is grilled, it does not need butter or salt. The flavor from steaming inside the husk is the best way to make it in my opinion.

Presidential Worst-Case Scenario

By Kevin J. Curtis I think unless you have your head in the sand, you will probably agree that the worst thing that could happen to the USA in the next Presidential election, is that Trump and Biden would run against each other again. I’ll be honest, I think Donald Trump is the worst thing to ever happen to American politics. He lies constantly. He does not even seem to know what truth is. His motivations are self-serving; and his ideas are either politically incorrect, or they just don’t make any sense scientifically or logically. Plus, Trump tried to steal the Presidential election—and started casting doubt on the election process for years (before), in order to be ready in case he lost. Which he did. His followers don’t seem to care, nor do they realize that Trump could never reciprocate the same kind of loyalty he demands from his allies. But even though Trump didn’t win, and I was glad about that, we ended up with Joe Biden. Joe is bent on idiotic policies that are going to m...

RAIN!

I think it rained more today than it did all summer. It's been raining the last few days. The grass went from crunchy brown to green and now I have to mow! Today was truly magnificent! It rained, the sun came out, it was cloudy, it rained, the sun came out, more clouds, more rain, it just kept doing that all day long.

Go Get Dad!

When I walked outside this morning and saw the rabbit... well the headless rabbit, I knew it was likely the work of a bird of prey. But I couldn't help wondering if there is a rabbit mafia, and Bugsy was sinking the head in the drainage pond down the street at that very moment. But now, what was I supposed to do? I momentarily thought about charging into the house and yelling for everyone to come outside and "take care of" the lifeless body. But I'm dad at my house. All of those unpleasant tasks, like unclogging the toilet, battling hornets in the shed, disposing of unknown bugs in the house, fixing broken things of all kinds... those are the things the rest of the household will come screaming to me to resolve. I guess it should make me feel good, that I am the answer to so many of life's issues that nobody (including me) really wants to deal with. "Go get dad!" is the "battle cry" of the family... So, I got a bag and grabbed the freshly ...

The Rich Buy the Law

While some people have skillfully orchestrated a war between the races, the real issue is between the extreme rich and the poor. Conservatives and rednecks who are more like the minorities they've been taught to hate than they are like the rich guy who they believe will save them. People of color who liberals have convinced are unable to better themselves and need not even try. Meanwhile, all of our politicians are wealthy and one former president has top secret documents in his possession. Any of the rest of us would be staring through jail bars, but the filthy (and I mean filthy) rich hire lawyers to manipulate the law on their behalf. But few see through the smoke, because their own agenda is a small view. They are out for themselves and unconcerned about anyone else.
