Advanced Virus Remover

I got my butt handed to me today. Advanced Virus Remover attacked a customer’s PC and I spent the afternoon trying to remove it. I’ve got to return tomorrow.

This thing loads so early and deep that is actually inhibits the Task Manager, so I can’t kill avr.exe. I’ll try running [...]

Obama's Call

From Josh Rogin at The Cable:

Obama will announce the addition of 30,000 new U.S. soldiers and marines for Afghanistan and up to 6,000 more troops from international partners…

In his speech Tuesday at the West Point military academy, Obama will outline a mix of a new counterinsurgency-heavy approach for Afghanistan and a new counterterrorism-heavy approach toward [...]

Darius Rucker Must Die

We’re watching the CMA Awards and Hootie done blowfished the place. Please, I beg you, in the name of Carrie Underwood and all she represents, don’t let this thing infect Country Music.

To My Supporters

Gird up thy loins as have I. I am shredded from two glorious days of leaf sucking. I am currently renting a few Yuengling and the hot tub awaits. Thereafter, I expect to dine on turkey soup thickened with Basmati and club sandwiches.

Next week will be strange, to say the least. [...]

There's No Place Like Home

The Wife’s twin sister did a bang up job, yesterday. We stocked up on meat and veggies at Costco on Tuesday, while picking up one of their huge chocolate cakes to take for Thanksgiving.

In the last week, we’ve endured airport fare and other epicuria not worth mentioning. An exception was some great sushi [...]

O2BNHVN

That’s the Georgia plate on an SUV I saw this morning leaving my neighborhood. It also had a Victory Junction Gang bumper sticker.

Last night on Survivor, Laura commented that “They’re better off,” when Shambo mentioned a brother and sister who predeceased her.

During Thanksgiving dinner, my brother-in-law asked me if I thought Obama was the [...]

Black Friday

I had to run a package to UPS this morning for the Wife and was surprised to find her store doing good business. She doesn’t have any special sale going on and her customers are generally elsewhere on this, the biggest shopping day of the year.

Leaving the post office at Battleground and Pisgah Church, [...]

The Ghost of Tom Joad

I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving. The Wife and I will be traveling to Raleigh to celebrate with her twin sister and their three children home from college. There will be lots to eat and we’ll be warm and happy.

But I’ll be thinking about a woman and her small child huddled [...]

The Rising Tide

I’m about halfway into the first of three books that Jeff Shaara has written about WWII. I got hooked on his Civil War novels and this one doesn’t disappoint.

Obviously, The Rising Tide begins with the conquest of North Africa and the subjugation of the idiot French and Italians, not to mention the Germans. [...]
