I’m adding archived “ongoing letter” entries as I find them.  I’m doing a deeper search in my computer archives to see what I can find.  See “archive” in the Categories to read them all.

I believe it was 2001 when a virus hit my computer, so entries between 1998 and then are likely gone forever.  We’ll see.

anything to declare?

by

Jeremy Hansen left Earth ten days previous with his American astronaut buddies.  They took off, presumably, from somewhere in the United States.  They just arrived back home yesterday evening.

So, did Mr. Hansen have to carry his passport with him?  I can imagine a guy in uniform standing on the raft next to Artemis II space vehicle, waiting for him to come out.  “Do you have anything to declare?”

two-faced policies

by

Donald Trump is a complete buffoon.  He says he wants Americans to buy American stuff and “make America great (again)”.  Yet, when Canadians decide they will do the same and not buy American alcohol, the United States says it is an “irritant” and wants us to start buying yankee booze again.

Alcohol, ‘Buy Canadian’ policy flagged by U.S. as trade irritants: report

How two-faced is this?!  His administration continues to show how unjust it is.

wingless

by

After a long day of working, I thought it would be nice to bring home some wings.  I phoned Floyd and told him I’ll bring home a box of chicken wings.  However, despite what the sign says, Save-On Foods has no wings.  Their wing oven broke two days before.

You’d think that, without a working wing oven, they wouldn’t put the sign up.

Four other places in town were also out of any hot food.
