No humor cause: Seeing a hoax; no care for child

On By admin

You’ve all most likely heard the latest virus news that hospital ERs are being overrun by antivaxxers, some of whom have taken horse medicine, or something else such as Tender Vittles to fend off COVID-19.. Let’s see, antivaxxers won’t take an FDA-approved vaccination to prevent COVID-19, but they’ll take equine...

On drummer Charlie Watts, Rolling Stones, three strikes and out

On By admin

In all the news reporting about Afghanistan fiasco, the spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant, and scandals on The Bachelorette, an item that quickly passed by was the death of Charlie Watts. I told my wife he’d died and she said, “Who?” Not a surprise. There are probably a lot...

Thoughts include MAGA/Orange to science

Are we all overjoyed and ecstatic now that our beloved Fearless Orange-Faced Supreme Leader has been restored to his rightful place in the White House as head of our country? I haven’t seen any fireworks, or dancing in the streets because of the great election turnover that took place on,...

The big time: Vaccination received, instead of refused

On By admin

Yes, I’ve finally made it to the big time. After all my years of acting on stage, as an extra in Hollywood films, or as a principle in industrial films for Bell Labs and others, I get recognized for receiving my COVID vaccination. And because I’m wearing my glasses, you...

Ask Grandpa: On solving problems: Scratch on car, divorce

On By admin

Grandpa,I am steamed! Yesterday my dad came home and told me that last time I used his car, I put a scratch in the passenger side front fender. I know I did not do that. I have not used his car in several days. Why didn’t he notice it earlier?...

On Independence Days, rockets, bizarre tales

On By admin

I hope every one of you readers had a safe and enjoyable July 4 celebration. It’s obvious that in Aurora, we love to celebrate Independence Day because the M80s start blasting in the evenings in early February and continue into late January. Some time back I’d written how, as young...

On Father’s Day, 1984 movie, and the new Winston Smith

On By admin

Happy four days after Father’s Day and five days after Juneteenth Day, or as the GOP likes to call it, “Huh?”. It seems my holiday columns always wind up in The Voice after the holidays about which I’ve chosen to write (notice how I didn’t end that sentence with a...

Environment experience in the Everglades elucidating

On By admin

The weather finally has turned favorable for all sorts of outdoor activities, such as hiking, swimming, biking, blowing off M80s in the middle of the night, tearing up the asphalt on low traffic streets and roads with rubber-burning, squealing tires, and camping. I enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors...

Memories of possible jury duty, including laughter

On By admin

A couple issues back, a concerned reader wrote in to give a voice to her opinion on the obligation the elderly have to serve jury duty, and the hardship involved in traveling, spending a day waiting to be selected, to be on a jury, or sent home. I can sympathize...

Death-defying trip in a rusted pick-up truck recalled

On By admin

This week, I thought I’d focus on something pleasant: Death. In this case, mine. Not the one in my future, but a near-death experience in my past. Back in ancient times, 1968, before I was a well respected, independently-wealthy writer, I owned a boat dealership with a partner, Ron. Our...

March significant days offered worthy celebrations

By the time you read this column in The Voice, we’ll be stepping into a nice April, or a brisk October, depending on how the USPS is handling our mail deliveries. If Louis DeJoy is still running the postal system, it will most likely be the latter. We passed some...

Reflections on past KP duty: Scrubbing pots, pans

While I was scrubbing my single serve fry pan this morning (not this morning, but the morning when I was writing this column), it reminded me of a day long past. It was a day during basic training when I, once again, had the privilege of being selected for KP...

Keeping up with national news: CPAC to the Texas world

Now that the orange-faced spectre that previously haunted the White House is off to greener Florida pastures, or sand traps, there are thousands of delusional individuals in the country who believe the aforementioned apparition will rise up from a Mar-a-Lago dumpster this month, just like the Great Pumpkin, who has...

Cold, snow? Fond memories of youthful encounters remain

If any of you dear (or other woodland-type) readers don’t feel it’s cold enough for you, I suggest you read “To Build a Fire,” a short story by Jack London. Your lips will turn blue even if you read it at high noon in the middle of Death Valley on...

Within new year optimism, first a few items wrapped up

On By admin

It was a difficult birth for the 2021 New Year’s Baby. He (I assume it’s a he because the old year always goes out with a long beard) had to be brutally yanked out with forceps, kicking and screaming, not wanting to come into the pandemic world. Thinking of kicking...

Christmas in March: A part of Home Alone movie set

Because this is my close-to-Christmas column, each year I endeavor to squeeze out something Christmas-related. Someone online told of a most memorable Christmas. I couldn’t think of any, except for those where girl friends dumped me. Other than those holiday dumpster specials, I’d have to say my most memorable Christmas...

On masks, driving a beater without a steering wheel

This week, I had a whole lotta stuff I planned to write about Donald Trump, but decided it was a waste. Donny’s gone off the deep end with hair-dye-dripping nutty buddy, Rudy Giuliani, and others hanging on, claiming that the FBI, CIA, CDC, Poncho Villa, Cher, and Emperor Ming the...
