Today is a holiday. In order for a retired person to make a holiday meaningful, I went to work — and my work is blogging. Break continues tomorrow.

Keep your nickel, Ephraim.

The state bumper stickers made it all the way from puny little NewMexiKen to big time Hullabaloo by Thursday. And to think where they’d have been without Debby’s quality control. You got them ready for prime time, Debby!

Ephraim, why don’t you try to break your record for percentage of your posts that are nasty and totally worthless? Right now you’re at 100%. Personally, I don’t think you are capable of going under that.
