This postcard pretty much sums up the economy these days. Although… I must admit my attitude has improved now that I got the first covid vaccine dose. Of course someday the grim reaper will tap me on the shoulder. Just not today.

Here I am smiling like an idiot
The problem with this plan is that someone is sure to ask, “What the hell are you smiling about?” – but I am going to try it anyway. It works for the dog!
The Thermostat Wars
Who is cold and who is hot at your house? Teresa turns the FAN on at bedtime. It’s a post-menopause thing, she says. She does generate a lot of heat. If only we could corral all of this thermal energy? Later, after the fan is off, she goes into a type of sleep that generates […]
STONKS
Apparently some folks on the /WallStreetBets board of Reddit decided that they didn’t like the big hedge funds betting against GameStop stock. So they decided as a group to buy, buy, buy that stock. I am thinking a few of them pulled out and made a life-changing profit; and many others lost their shirts. I […]
Not a good idea to drive like that
This old postcard is cute and all, and the young lady has no choice but to sit close in this loveseat-equipped jalopy. When I was young and single, my girlfriend and later, wife, would sit close like that. She didn’t have to, the car was a 1966 Dynamic 88 – She could have sat like […]
When the trouble started; jungle cat edition
So my wife says, “Why did this lady take a tiger to the beach?” I take the postcard and stare at it. “There’s a tiger in this picture?” That’s when the trouble started. EDITOR’S NOTE: I originally posted this a few years ago, but Teresa’s snoring last night sounded like I was in bed with […]
I’m not putting my mouth on that dude!
It’s a good thing that they changed the CPR to chest compressions only, (To the tune of “Stayin’ Alive” just by coincidence) – With this virus going around, and the general paranoia about all things hygiene that will linger for years after for sure, CPR is scary. CPR contraptions such as this antique device would […]
We miss getting smashed with the neighbors
The folks in this postcard send a message back to their drinking buddies back home, and I can see why they would miss the fights, brawls, and getting smashed with them… … So why are they standing in front of their camping trailer looking as miserable as can be? Don’t they like playing cards and […]
Back seat drivers should be licensed too.
You probably know a few people who comment on other people’s driving, yet they repeatedly ride with said driver at the wheel. It makes no sense. We could at least regulate this activity, for the sake of traffic safety. It appears that an effort was made decades ago. This example expired in 1972. I like […]
Stubborn as a mule?
I have often heard the phrase, “stubborn as a mule”. Yet here are 20 mules pulling some heavy load through a desert. It’s not like the driver is able to do anything to force them to do so, the mules in front are out of reach and probably can’t even hear him. They are too […]
