‘Ridin’ with Biden’?

I'm Ridin' With Biden | Joe Biden | Know Your Meme

Someone sent us this on Facebook last night. Can you think of anything more pathetic?

Really, the slogan ought to be “Hidin’ with Biden,” to capture the essence of him hiding in his basement. “We are dedicated to making Joe Biden the 46th president of the United States.” Hair-raising.

Then again, if you like rioting, race hustling, sweetheart deals with China, dirty dealings in Rumania, and total Far Left Crazy every hour of every day–well, this has got to be your guy.

How we could have sunk to this…

Bell Mountain (Bell Mountain, 1) - Kindle edition by Duigon, Lee ...

While I’m waiting (and waiting and waiting) for something better than totally sporadic internet access, at least I can go outside and work on my new book, Behold!

Yesterday a new character just strolled into the story and did things. I love it when that happens! She came out of nowhere–never saw her until she was onstage. Well, I do pray every day for the Lord to give me the story that He wants me to tell, to make it fruitful in His service and worthy of its readers. So far, that’s just what He’s done.

Now I guess I’ll try to cover some nooze. I’m not making any promises: this thing can conk out on me at any moment.

Still Not Fixed!

Well, I’ve just spent 30 minutes yelling (literally) at some Verizon schmendrick who couldn’t tell me when I’d have internet access.

See, as soon as I got home from the doctor’s, our %$#@$ internet immediately began going in and out again, totally frustrating my ability to work and driving me flat-out crazy. I mean, where’s my hatchet? Where’s my shotgun?

Anyway, the guy said they’re having “a major cable problem” and he don’t know when it’s gonna be fixed, maybe by 8:00 tonight–but that’s a really big maybe.

And now I’d better stop before the accursed thing conks out again.

My Royalties (Oh, Boy)

The Bell Mountain Series - Reformed Reviews

Well, that little medical adventure cost me two hours out of this morning. They want you to do eye tests with your stupid mask on, fogging up your glasses. Most informative.

Meanwhile, I got my royalty statement yesterday. I am now the Crown Prince of Bazukaburg.

No, no, not that kind of royalty. This is the report on how many of my books were sold during the last quarter.

I can safely say I have sold more books than people who haven’t written any.

And there goes the $%$#@# internet crapping out again!

‘Can Fools Create Wise Computers?’ (2014)

An idol is an idol is an idol…

Let’s not forget it was some cockamamie Computer Model that told us the Chinese Communist Death Flu From China was going to kill off 2.2 million people in the United States alone: and on the basis of that asinine prediction, we coughed up our liberties and practically murdered our economy.

Can Fools Create Wise Computers?

No, morons cannot create wisdom, nor sinners righteousness.

All we can really create is Artificial Stupidity. And are we paying for that

‘Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee!’ (I’m Back?)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I have to go to the eye doctor this morning, but first a hymn–Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee: music by Beethoven, sung by the Mennonite Hour Singers, background sets by God the Father.

And Patty has been using this machine for two hours already and says it hasn’t conked out once–so let’s pray the bad stuff’s all over and we can start rebuilding our blog.

I’ll try some longer posts when I get back.

Tomorrow

First thing tomorrow, I’ve got to go to the eye doctor and sit around in his waiting room with the stupid mask on.

Three minutes is all the time I’ve got to post this.

It’s killing my blog.

Sleepy Kitties

In all probability, I’ve posted this before. But with me losing internet access every two or three minutes, I don’t have time to be choosy.

We’re fixin’ it, we’re fixin’ it, they said….

Am I Here or Not?

Well, well, they were supposed to fix our problem yesterday; but whatever they did, they killed our internet access. Killed it dead.

So we called again today, and this time the promise was that our access would be restored this afternoon or early in the evening.

If this post gets published, does that mean it’s fixed?

We have learned not to expect people to do the things they say they’re going to do.

Meanwhile, this business has made a shambles of this blog, just about a smoking ruin. Viewership is now dropped back down to 2015 levels. All that work undone!

Wonder how long it’ll take to build it up again.

Internet According to Lee

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I’m here again to let you all know Verizon, while in the process of “fixing” Lee’s internet connection, managed to knock it out completely. Lee has spoken with Verizon and is hoping their promise to fix it as soon as possible will happen this time.
