The Place Where I Work
Sure, it’s silly. Sure, it’s immature. Sure, it’s scatological. And, sure, it’s probably unprofessional.
It’s where I work. And I love it.
The Red Room Is No More
I’m sure I mentioned this on the show, so I better post a picture of the results. The red room is no longer red and the house has been listed.
Cutting The Grass Of History
I think that is the gun the fired the first American shot of WWII. The ship, USS Ward, has a connection to Minnesota, where I live, because several members of its crew were naval reservists who had been stationed in St. Paul, MN. And I had a connection to that crew.
The connection was our next door neighbor when my family moved into the house, which my wife and I (and our dog) currently occupy, back in 1973. His name was Basil Grindall and he was one of those naval reservists assigned to the USS Ward just prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
I don’t know if he was among the sailors who fired the guns and launched the depth charges, but he was a part of the crew. His name is included on a commemorative plaque in the Ramsey County courthouse.
And to think! I used to cut his grass and shovel his snow.
So,I like to think I’ve done my part for the war effort. Decades after the war, sure, but still.
Speaking Of Snow
If you live in a part of the world that experiences actual winter, you may have seen these chalky white streak on the road a day or so before a snow event. It’s a chemical, like a brine solution, that helps keep the roads from icing up.
It’s a way to get your mind set for snow.
Don’t Fool Yourself, Tarot Can Cause Harm
First, you need to accept the fact that tarot card reading, like all psychic claims, is bullshit. It’s dressed up cold reading and cold reading is bullshit.
Before you start to say, “But, Dim, I had a reading that was so spot on…” Don’t. Remember Dr. Dim’s Maxim: The answer is never magic.
I go into it a bit more on the show.
People keep falling for this fakery.
