Our now-unsupported blogging software is acting up again, making it extremely difficult to automatically post stuff to the site.

As much as it pains me to say this, if you want to keep up to date with my posts, check out my page on Facebook.

I hope to do a serious revamp of the site in the New Year. In the meantime, hope you all have a safe and happy whatever holiday(s) you observe.

The party's over

I thought the raccoons that regularly visit our patio were a well-mannered, docile pair.

Perhaps they are. But it seems the word has spead through the Procyon lotor community that a free midnight snack appears in the neighborhood daily, and it has attracted some furry miscreants.

A new raccoon appeared last night, commandeered the food bowl, and intimidated the others. We've decided to stop feeding them before scores of the hairy devils descend here every night.

Funny looking cats

We noticed a stray cat and her kittens in our area a few weeks ago, so we started putting out food. Last week I looked out and saw an opossum chowing down.

Bought a cheap trail camera and set it up last night. Turns out we have a pair of raccoons who are sharing a nightly snack.

It's far from over

America is about taking risks- and making mistakes and doing the right thing... eventually. I'm old enough to look back and realize the United States is capable of acts of both stunning achievement and jaw-dropping stupidity, often simultaneously.

But the one thing about America and being an American is knowing that, like a huge pendulum, eventually things swing back from the extreme. Not without effort and debate and cost and lost lives. But sooner or later, things always do get better. And then we'll swing to the other extreme and repeat the process.

The country managed to survive Nixon, Ford, Reagan, two Bushes and one Trump term. We'll get through this, too.

Norman Mailer once said the true religion of America has always been America. He's right. I believe in America. And there are enough believers to insure that despite its disturbing oscillations, we'll always find our way.
