2017 Follower of the Year Award
Yes, it is that time of the year again, when I narrow my list of followers to those that aren’t doped-up on thorazine or any other anti-psychotic drug, sift through the handful of followers that remain, and choose a Follower of the Year. Past winners have been so self-effacing that they have asked me to never mention them again. Actually, it was their lawyers that asked, in writing via a court order.

Limitation of Statues
Regardless of whether you may be Republican or Democrat, Right Wing or Left Wing, Conservative or Liberal, White or Black, can we all agree that this Confederate general’s statue needs to be removed?
Why should we all agree to remove it? Take a closer look at that face …
Math is Supposed to be More Precise Than This
I was a math major for 2 & 1/2 years in college until we started learning about number systems that don’t really exist except in theory. The voices in my head that don’t really exist except in my head seemed eager to try those theoretical number systems. That was a red flag for me. I immediately switched to a business major and doomed myself and career to selling products made with quality that only existed in theory.
However, what has stuck with me for lo these many years since college is the beautiful precision of mathematics and the gum from my dorm room floor. So I was appalled this holiday season when I took a look at this bottle of sparkling water we were serving …

Our Holiday Blog Schedule
I’ve given the staff of Jim Flanigan Looks at the World some time off over this holiday weekend to spend time with their children, some of whom also happen to be their nieces and nephews, but they wanted me to pass along this holiday snapshot I took of them at our Christmas party …
Without that good bunch of guys, I would not be able to keep a steady stream of drivel coming your way. Now without their efforts this weekend, here’s the unsteady stream of drivel I have lined-up for your reading pleasure …

Who or what is leaving these footprints?
You have all seen pictures of supposed Sasquatch footprints.
I have even blogged in the past on mini-Sasquatch sightings.
But what the heck is leaving this footprint that I encountered along our local trail?
A Winter Poem
This is the worst day of the year for me. It is because of how short the amount of daylight is today. I know, tomorrow on the Winter Solstice is actually shorter when it comes to daylight, but that is a day when I can celebrate that henceforth the days will start to lengthen until that damn Summer Solstice. So today I weep, gnash my teeth, rend my garments asunder (really a bad idea when it is cold out), and am generally a sullen mess. The bottom line is that nobody can tell the difference in me from a typical day. However, it has been sunny today, so that has helped my mood. Before the sun got off its lazy ass and rose this morning, I was already out briskly walking while I wrote this poem about the dearth of daylight today.
Waxing Poetic
There’s a cute holiday commercial for Apple’s Airpods (bluetooth earbuds) airing now in the USA that contains a very disturbing scene …

Cold Man Walking
I have lost weight this past year, about 10 pounds. Who knew that a combination of exercise and a sensible diet would result in weight loss? I still have 10 pounds to go, but they will have to wait until Spring as I prepare to face the upcoming gauntlet of holiday tables of gluttony with less exercise.
We are all fatter just from looking at that picture. I should just increase my exercise, but it looks like it may decrease. Here’s why.

Well Done Alabama
Today, Alabama is rocketing up my list of favorite states.
- Mississippi? Eat Alabama’s dust!
- Oklahoma? You are not worthy.
- Wyoming? Why not Alabama?
Special shout out to Erica from Alabama and author of thegingereffect.com. The nightmare is over. Well done and thank you.
