What is that unnecessarily complicated and shoddily made contraption?


I’ve never before seen a hobo mobile.



I wonder who crafted this hobo mobile, for what purpose was it made, and why is it parked on the corner of West Third Street and North Third Avenue West?


Read Karamador


According to the author, “Karamador is a renaissance fantasy comic with anthro characters set in the world of Karamador.  We follow the adventures of Sir Kiljaos the lion paladin of wind, on his ongoing quest to fight off the forces of chaos.”


I very much recommend reading Karamador.  This illustrated story is a very good source for inspiration for fantasy tabletop, role-playing game players and game masters.  I also recommend Karamador for all those who love heroic, fantasy stories.

I document the permanently closed Hacienda Del Sol wall art


This art is the only remaining tangible piece from the wonderful Hacienda Del Sol, Mexican restaurant.  Although I never ate a meal here; my friends tell me that this was one of the best family-friendly restaurants in the Twin Ports.



In a few more days, this wall art will become enclosed behind a concrete wall for decades if not hundreds of years.

Ain’t Too Proud to Beg? Views on Pedestrian Call Buttons

This editorial was originally titled, “To beg, or not to beg, that is the question.”  This is my first published editorial for 2024.

What is posted on King Manor’s fourth floor bulletin board for February 21, 2024?


With this board overflowing with posts, methinks HRA should get a second, fourth floor bulletin board.  I also used this post to use the word methinks at least twice in my blog.

King Manor Residents’ Club 2024 Valentine's Day


This XOXO sign welcomed King Manor residents and their guests on their way inside the King Manor Community Room.



These are the food tables and in the background our club president Cathy.



This is the table where I enjoyed my Valentine's Day food and drinks.
