- Georgia O'Keeffe was born in 1887
-
Georgia O’Keeffe is significant among American artists of the 20th century. She is renowned for her contribution to modern art.
She was born on November 15, 1887 and was the second of seven children. Georgia Totto O’Keeffe grew up on a farm near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.
She decided to pursue art as a career at a young age and studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York pursuing traditional painting technique. She experimented with abstract art forms for 2 years while teaching art in Texas. Her charcoal abstracts gave her personal insight to expressing her feelings and ideas.
There are many who like me felt that the elements of some of her work had the stark resemblence to female anatomy — particularly the flowers. Nonetheless she remains a tour de force in the world of art and will likely remain so for the forseeable future.
She was born November 15, 1887, near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin and passed March 6, 1986, at Santa Fe, New Mexico. She is rememmbered for her large-format paintings of natural subjects and the skyscrapers of New York City as well as the architecture and landscape of northern New Mexico.
Rest in peace.

- National Seat Belt Day 2025
-
I recall the idiot Senator John Land pushing for and getting a seat belt law in South Carolina.
I recall wishing someone would take a stick and ram a seat belt so far up his ass that he would wear it forever as a sign of his meddling into the lives of the voter.
I recall his retirement when I wished he would die.
Yes, I resent seat belts.
I think they are for pussies who need them and parents who have lost children do not need to be forcing their guilt for not taking better care of their children while traveling in automobiles on the rest of the voting public.
Senator John Land did not represent me in this endeavor.
He will remain a stain upon my memory of the backward inbred big nanny South Carolina laws in general.
While I feel sympathy for the family who lost their daughter resulting in this push which the stupid legislature forced on the rest of us I remain vehemently opposed to them and their actions as well.
We don't need people deciding what we must do just because some parent failed to guard their child's life and lost her.
To hell with Senator John Land, retired senator who was a big nanny moron legislator. Wouldn't you know he's a stupid democrat.
To hell with the parents who lost their child due to neglegence and made us suffer for their failure.
To hell with the South Carolina seat belt law, big nanny government at it's very most imposing.

- Gerard Butler's Birthday 2025
-
One of my favorite action stars nouveaux is Gerard Butler.
When I first engaged his portrayal of Mike Banning in Olympus has Fallen I was sure we had a butt kicking winner on the cusp of international fame.
Such that it was became what it is. He is now one of the last words in take them out and count the bodies later type hero.
Gerard Butler is a Scot born in Paisley, Scotland, on November 13, 1969.
He took an abrupt career change from pre law to acting and he attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama toward that end.
He has done a lot of different types of characters over the years but first and foremost I pursue him as an action figure and hero in the best traditions of not taking any crap, kicking ass and taking names.
Today is his birthday. He is 56 years young today. I hope he makes many more action flicks in the vein of London has Fallen and Olympus has Fallen. Long live the action thriller and Gerard Butler ! What an incredible action star !

- West Columbia has become most Uncivilized
-
Last week I was attacked by a high school student from Gray Collegiate Academy who obviously and mistakenly thinks I won't bust a cap in his stupid "high school Harry" head. I don't know his name, only that he was a scrub riding with someone in his brown subcompact automobile.
I rolled down my window and yelled "The speed limit is 40" after following them for several miles doing 20 miles per hour while the driver was texting on a cell phone.
The passenger jumped out of this vehicle and attacked me. He struck my windshield twice with a clenched fist and then kicked in my door all the while yelling threats.
Of course, there was no law enforcement in sight and I did not have my weapon with me at that moment.
Now I don't travel anywhere without my loaded firearm — which I intend to use in response to any and all further threats by black thug ass boys exhibiting that distinct lack of raising they have become known for — and this little asshole displayed.
I really don't care who "does" or "does not" like it either. Irate parents beware. Teach your children better than this. I have been pushed beyond my willingness to cope with ill behaved unmannered hellspawn.
Though this notion makes my dear mother very unhappy; it will be my pleasure to defend myself at each and every transgression of my personal safety in the future. This little thug had no right to threaten me for any reason and I will not tolerate any further incidents. I have a right and the ability to defend myself accurately from 300 feet.
I felt my life was endangered by an ill mannered stupid little boy I could have snuffed from a distance had I been prepared. I will never be unprepared again.
Black fragility be damned. Fuck you and die little zero character no redeeming value negro boy.

- It is the birthday of Rodin
-
When I was a child I would look at "The Thinker" in awe and wonder about the meaning of the piece in relation to that who I was and would become.
It was sculpted by François Auguste René Rodin who was a French sculptor.
He was born on November 12, 1840 in Paris, France. He passed on November 17, 1917 at 77 years of age in Meudon, France.
His work began during the impressionistic period and continued through the modern art period.
He is considered by many to be the founder of modern sculpture.
He was trained traditionally and took a craftsman-like approach sculpture. He had an ability to model complexity, turbulence, and exquisite details in clay.
He was married and had two children.
Today is his birthday. We are at the 185th year of his birth.

Today is Veterans Day.
It is a federal holiday. It is observed annually on November 11 and honors all those who have served in the U.S. military.
Federal employees are granted the day off, and many other businesses, state and local government offices, and schools are also closed in observance of the holiday.
Veterans Day is a legal holiday established by law. It is one of the 11 permanent federal holidays.
Federal buildings, post offices, and banks are closed, but other services like grocery stores and restaurants are often open.
I am a veteran of the US Navy. I don't expect special treatment. I do, however, enjoy attending the parade uptown at Sumter Street every now and then. Very few things give me the warm and fuzzies anymore.

- Dave Loggins Birthday 2025
-
Since I was a kid I have enjoyed the music of Dave Loggins. He released "Please come to Boston" the year I graduated high school and I have indulged his performances until his passing last year. I have particularly enjoyed "Pieces of April" — both his version and all the many covers of the song.
David Allen Loggins was born November 10, 1947 and he passed on July 10, 2024.
He was an American singer, songwriter, and musician.
His most famous works include the 1974 hit single "Please Come to Boston" as well as his 1984 duet with Anne Murray entitled "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do".
He was born on November 10, 1947, in Mountain City, Tennessee. Prior to embarking on a career in music he worked as a draftsman and sold insurance. He is the second cousin, Kenny Loggins, another singer-songwriter who has passed this earthly existence after an illustrious career.
Mr Loggins died in Nashville at the age of 76.
Rest in peace.

- Ecommerce takes TOO long to ship
-
I decline to be an "amazon prime" customer. I may buy certain items but I pay for the shipping and hold them in utter contempt unto the ends of the Earth. Furthermore, I decline to participate in online reviews and such rot because I'm spending my money on merchandise and that is my sole interest in the transaction. Some female wretch in India doesn't need to try and coerce me to submit a positive review for anyone in a group of people I find morally reprehensible.
I'm so sick of idiot companies like amazon and their ilk thinking they're some universal club that requires participation after the sale in areas better left alone. My only two nieces are thusly preoccupied lemmings under the spell of Amazon ... standing ready to cast themselves off the nearest cliff in the name of online ordering and prime delivery.
I love them both but they infuriate me to the nth degree with their pursuit of this affectation I refer to as amazonitis. There appears to be a preponderance of those who cannot think for themselves in my life. Particularly among the females I do not control. They get it honest, however being the product of similar parents.
So I get to continue waiting forever for my online orders to arrive. Amazon isn't the worst shipping problem, either. I'm pretty much totally giving up on ecommerce as of today. There are now very few outlets with whom I will conduct online business in the future. Enough is enough.
Boo !

- National Dunce Day 2025
-
The classical dunce is someone who is stupid or slow witted. All the negativity of such connotation is totally deserved. Well now, the dunce cap — once a symbol of respected scholarship has become diminished and relegated to the the dullards of the world who now wear it as a symbol of all they AREN'T.
The dunce cap seems to be the creation of one John Duns Scotus of Duns, Scotland. He was a scholar and a Franciscan priest. It was thought to inspire the flow of wisdom and like most other things began as popular theory only to become a source of negative connotations — indeed becoming used by some teachers to embarass children who were underperformers or who displayed inappropriate behavior.
The word "dunce cap" appears derived from "Duns men" which devolved to "dunce". The observance of National Dunce Day on November 8 coincides with the death of that medieval scholar after whom it was named.
Today is National Dunce Day.
It is an item of intellectual curiosa to me personally having never experienced nor witnessed the application but I see absolutely no reason to celebrate stupidity or band behavior so I will refrain from any celebration of the cap, the idea, or the day.
I would think it highly appropriate to embark on the study of acquiring a new skill or subject matter expertise as a substitute for reveling in the stupid poor behavior so prevalent today anyway.
A good National Dunce Day to you. This day was made for that stupid group of people who are without redeeming quality whatsoever. The democrat party of the United States and the people of New York in particular who are so utterly stupid as to elect a socialist muslim invader to be mayor of that shithole.
Let the stupidity flow even more democrat scum.

- Fountain Pen Day 2025
-
There was a time when I favored the fountain pen as a writing instrument. I believe the time frame was high school and I was on a cursive handwriting kick which lasted into my early 20s. I practiced a lot and cultivated a decent freehand script for which I was complemented by many — with the most honor being derived from my good friend the late Dewitt Casey who often commented on my handwriting.
Nowadays the idiot school teachers don't believe cursive is a viable skill in the world so they have stopped teaching it in the local public school system. Further evidence for the fact that there should not be a public school system populated with a bunch of woke stupid bitches out to indoctrinate the students into their libtard world.
So the fountain pen is a writing instrument which features refillable reservoir for ink. The inki is delivered to a metal nib for writing via gravity and capillary action and in an ideal world this provides a continuous supply of ink.
The reservoir stores ink. This is made available from either a bottle, a cartridge, or a built-in mechanism like a piston or vacuum filler.
The nib is the metal tip of the pen that makes contact with the paper and deposits the ink. Nibs come in various sizes and shapes, which determine the line width.
The feed is a slit or channel which regulates the flow of ink from the reservoir to the nib.
Then there are the barrel and cap which form the outer encasement of the pen. The cap protects the nib and prevents the ink from drying out.
Fountain Pen Day is typically the first Friday in November annually. This places it on Friday, November 7th this year.
The purpose of the day is to embrace, promote and share the use of fountain pens.
However, my particular tastes have evolved to the text editor such as Notepad++ over the manual writing endeavors of my past. So much for a beautiful handwriting, eh Dewitt ?!

- National Saxophone Day 2025
-
I have always been partial to the music of the saxophone. My favorite musician wielding the instrument was the late great Clarence Clemons, who used to be in the East Street Band and play with the woke asshole Bruce gd Springsteen. Be all of it as it may the music of Clarence Clemons holds a special place in my heart for the riffs he belted out with such power and apparent ease.
The Saxophone was invented by one Antoine-Joseph "Adolphe" Sax. He was born November 6, 1814 and passed February 7, 1894. He was of Belgian extractioin and invented the saxophone in the early 1840s. It was patented in 1846.
Therein lay the beginning of my enamour which started sometime shortly after high school and lasts until this day.
The greatest saxophone player who ever lived is said to be Charlie Parker. He was born in 1920 in Kansas City, Missouri and is considered an influential ground breaker saxophonist and jazz virtuoso. They called him "Bird" and I must say that I have enjoyed his improvisation in the genre of jazz very much over the years as well.
The four main types of saxophones are the soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone. They are seen in listings in order of pitch from highest to lowest. They share their basic construction allowing saxophonists to swich between them with relative ease.
Sax Type Description Soprano Smaller and higher pitched often presents with a straight body Alto Most common type particularly for the beginner, and is tuned to E flat Tenor Deeper sound frequently found in jazz ensembles Baritone The largest of the four with lowest pitch and a deeper, more "raw" sounding tone

- National Chinese Takeout Day 2025
-
Good Chinese Take Out is one of my weaknesses. I may not agree with their politics. I may become infuriated with their pilfering of our intellectual property. There are likely a million things I hate about China and the Chinese in general. However ...
I consume their food with considerable relish.
I dare say I like all Chinese food except for possibly for those dog and cat dishes which I have yet to gain the nerve to try.
Today is National Chinese Takeout Day.
It is held each November 5 for the enjoyment of Chinese takeout and the support of local restaurants.
I'm afraid that I'm a prisoner of my palette. So even as Happy Family and Seafood Schezwan will likely continue to be ordered by me in the near future I remain recognized when I enter the local Chinese restaurant for their take out. By the way, I also enjoy talking trash to the counter lady as well. You can call it weakness. You can call it hypocrisy. You can deride my personal nutritional choices all you want. Every now and then I intend to partake of a little Chinese takeout.
If you have a place with good Chinese takeout just let me find you and I will impart some of my hard earned retirement fundage on you and take your food home.
Happy National Chinese Takeout Day !

- 2024 Trump Won Harris Lost THANK GOD
-
Riding the wave of extreme disgust the electorate has cultivated for the idiot power mongering crook ass democrats, The Party Of Hate, Evil, And Satan — and that idiocracy they would impose upon The Republic, Donald Trump won the US Presidential election by soundly defeating Kamala word salad Harris.
Mr Trump saw victory in the Electoral College with 312 electoral votes to Harris' 226. He won every swing state — including the first win of Nevada by Republicans since 2004. Mr Trump won the national popular vote with a plurality of 49.8%, making him the first Republican to win the popular vote since George W Bushhole in 2004.
He took on the never ending lawfare charges posed by the democrats in an unsuccessful effort to defeat him he became the first so-called "convicted felon" to be elected to office and the second president to gain a second nonconsecutive term. The consequences of the brigand democrats responsible for this travesty remain to be fully realized.
Luckily the voters are seeing through the lawfare and the lies and the subterfuge of the evil democrat party which does nothing to endear itself to the people opting instead to try and gain power and fund their evil reign and control mechanisms over the nation ...
Which luckily is pretty much fed up and having nothing to do with any of it by and large — libtards not withstanding.

- National Housewife's Day 2025
-
In the world of careers a much maligned yet essential life's work is that of the housewife.
The housewife is a respected position to hold because the homemaker is an essential aspect of society and the raising of children and the management of the family and castle.
Today is National Housewife Day.
It's the day we show appreciation for the housewife and all that comes under the purview of that exalted position in humanity.
Those tireless efforts to transform a house into a home cannot be understated or underestimated. That is why this day is for the homemaker and why it is so well deserved.
The idea has come to the fore that just because someone stays home all day that this is somehow a lesser position in society because the proper running a home and household is quite a bit of work indeed.
National Housewife Day is not something that should happen but once a year. It should be a celebration of the mothers and those who keep our lives in that order we have come to appreciate so.
Happy National Housewife Day to each and every housewife on the planet !
