So…this humungous boulder falls on the glass skywalk, and watch out below!
I couldn’t find out where this thing happened; but what really puzzles me is how anybody ever thought it’d be a swell idea to tack this glass walkway to the side of a sheer cliff. Are people getting more daft by the day?
There are more than enough ways for death to overtake you, without inventing new and exotic ones.
Nine-armed starfish are hitting the beaches of Florida. Where’s the soothsayer when you need him? I mean it’s gotta mean something, doesn’t it?
Not that the starfish have done any harm (yet!), but some of us get nervous when things are out of place.
I was sitting outside in the shade, reading, when I chanced to look up from my book to see a big black bear come ambling straight for me.
What could I do? It was only a few yards away from me and my broken hip barred any attempt to get away. I was a sitting duck. But he only spared me a glance or two and then wandered off into the parking lot. Two police officers were trailing him.I took their advice to go back indoors.
Patty and I are both still sick. But the bear looked plenty healthy.
A grey tree frog looking for love. You should hear it when they sing as a quartet.
I don’t feel like writing up the nooze today. Don’t feel like much of anything, if the truth be known. I will have to settle for mere mentions.
*The acting prime minister of Canada–he wasn’t elected–has revealed himself as a king of tyrannical nitwits. He has proposed to forbid consuming meat and dairy products, and private ownership of cars. “Just think of us as Venezuela with cold winters!”
*Director of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s purse was snatched–by an illegal alien! Not much security there, eh? The cops caught the thief with the purse… and some $3,000 in cash that was in the purse. Why was she carrying so much money?
[Confound it, my hip hurts! Maybe if I were to sit down in the sun and have a cigar, it would go away.]
(Do I have time to post another critter video? Or take a hymn request? We’ll see.)
Chicken, dog, and cat. Dog attacks chicken. Cat defends chicken and forces dog to retreat. Dog is at least twice the cat’s size. And look at all the feathers! That chicken was doomed, but for the cat’s heroics.
How do we humans understand this? I think the Creator is trying to teach us something.
A sky full of stones
To this day nobody knows why showers of rocks fell on the town of Chico, California. The rocks fell for four months and then stopped.

No one knows where the stones came from, or why Chico was their target. It is said that someone called “The Ghost” wrote in to the local newspaper to take credit for the rock showers. He or she has never been identified.
There’s a One Step Beyond episode that gets into this (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0507859/). But not very far. The trail dries up pretty quickly.
There’s still so much we do not know.
This video slays me every time: fuzzy little rabbit chases big black dog all over the yard. How many factors have to be seriously messed-with before this can happen? And what in the world would the rabbit do if he caught the dog?
Calling all cars! Calling all cars! Kid asks question at school board meeting!
I’m still a bit cheesed off by a news story that I covered yesterday–
One high school student attends a school board meeting and asks a simple question: why aren’t there American flags in the classrooms, although school district rules say there are supposed to be? And the school board… calls the police! And not one, not two, but three cop cars come and arrest the student–who is also suspended on the spot.
Question! Does this police department have NOTHING better to do? How many officers did they think they needed, to arrest one unarmed high school kid? Or were they there simply to obey any order given, no matter how unreasonable or unjust?
But this is what happens when you change the rules and local school boards aren’t local anymore, not accountable to the community they’re supposed to serve, but rather to state and federal departments of “education.”
President Donald Trump has been talking about abolishing the U.S. Dept. of Education. So has the new secretary, Linda McMahon. Can they do it? Can they get these Far Left school boards and teachers’ unions out of our hair–and out of our paychecks?
It’ll be a better country if they can. We might even be able to save free speech.
And we need to ask our police authorities, “Is it still ‘Protect and Serve,’ or have you got a new motto we need to know about?”
Do you think taxpayers’ money should go to pay for “sex-change” operations… for prison inmates (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/priorities-georgia-democrats-storm-chamber-bill-end-state/)?
The Georgia Senate passed a bill to keep that from happening. The vote was 100-2. (Can you say “mandate”?) But in the Georgia House, all but five of the Democrats stalked out of the session–stormed out in protest.
What’s with these kooks? Do they really, truly, deeply believe that public funds–that normal people had to go out and work for–ought to pay for these bizarre and pointless quasi-medical procedures? What is that supposed to DO for Georgia? I mean, I could see it as an unconstitutional punishment (“cruel and unusual”), but I can’t even imagine how Democrats see it.
Be warned. This is a thing that can poison our civilization. Maybe even kill it.
Maybe that’s what they want.
For decades “Man Bites Dog” was the world champion goofy headline. But now, coming out of Tennessee, I think we have a new one: “Dog Shoots Man” (https://www.westernjournal.com/forget-mauled-pit-bull-man-shot-pit-bull/).
It seems the dog’s owner was sleeping in bed, with his girlfriend, when the dog decided to jump onto the bed and get in on all the cuddles. All fine and dandy–except somehow the dog’s paw made contact with the gun’s trigger and the sleeping owner got shot in the leg. That’ll wake you up.
But hark! Here is the question:
What kind of kook sleeps with a loaded gun in the bed?
We are given not a hint of a reason. I want to like The Western Journal, but this is pretty abysmal reporting.
We already have more than enough of that.
[Gee, you could make a contest out of this. Complete the sentence: I sleep with a loaded gun in my bed because __________. Winner gets a water pistol.]
