“Scientists” – Curmudgeonly Monday

March 9, 2020 Herb 3

I have been writing vignettes, articles, opinion pieces, poetry, and whatnot since before I ever had a typewriter, word processor, or computer. The advantage of the computer is that, if you are a pack-rat like me, you save all kinds of things. Continue Reading[...]

Profanity Is Not A Sign Of Intelligence

March 2, 2020 Herb 15

Curmudgeonly Monday I think I will make this a new, weekly feature where I just rant and rave and carry on about things that make me feel surly, crusty and ill-tempered. Or old, which makes me feel curmudgeonly. Something that my favorite Continue Reading[...]
