What an interesting Fathers Day. My children all went in together and got me a Blu Ray DVD player. Holy Cow, does it improve a movie, even a standard disc. My kids know I am a real movie buff, this came as a complete surprise. Not only did I get the player but also a […]
Ford Vehicles: The Ford Mustang Bullitt
What I told my children they could get me for Father’s Day. Of course what I would really like is an authentic 1968 Mustang GT outfitted like the Bullitt car, but that’s just me really dreaming.
Back when I had money, I almost bought a Mustang GT, but passed on […]
It is two o’clock in the afternoon & the Wyoming sky overhead is angry. Its been thunder & lightning for over half an hour alternating with rain & hail. Nothing like a wild Wyoming spring thunderstorm to scare us all to death. The thunder sounds like its right in our back yard, the result of […]

Years ago I took prescription Allegra D. It did a […]
I sent some grandpa valentines to Heidi, Jon, & Tina’s kids, enclosing a few dollar bills in each one of them. (I remember how exciting it was when I was their age to have my Grandmother [Sarah Ruth Hannah] Mortensen press a quarter or half-dollar into my hand.) Times have changed but money still seems […]
I decided to resurrect an old police/fire radio scanner that resurfaced while I was going through a box of stuff in my closet. It is a Realistic (Radio Shack) Pro-30 w/16 channel VHF & UHF scanning capability. It will not handle the 800Mhz stuff, but is plenty good for this remote corner of Wyoming.
