Fatalities 2025

I just learned that actor Pat Finn, probably best known from "The Middle," though also from story arcs on "Friends" and "Seinfeld" (and lots of other shows) died of bladder cancer on December 22nd. He was 60.

RIP, Mr. Finn, and thanks for sharing your talents and adding laughter to the world. Condolences to your fans, friends, family and loved ones.

NFL 2O25

I did not expect Tomlin to step away from his head coach position after losing last night. I guess the Rooney's were expecting more than another first week playoff loss out of their team. Considering how beat up the team was and having a 42 year old QB, I thought they did well to have another winning season. Perhaps it is time for a change. It's too bad that there aren't great coaches sitting and waiting for a franchise to call them.

Fatalities - 2026

Scott Adams, creator of the hugely-successful "Dilbert" comic enterprise, has lost his battle with prostate cancer. He was 68.

I greatly enjoyed the Dilbert-verse and am glad he found something that brought joy to so many (him too!) while giving him a great life. It's awful it was cut short, though.

RIP, Mr. Adams, with condolences to your fans, friends, family and loved ones. Thanks for all of the laughs.
Wow.. I am still a fan of his comic books..

What are you drinking right now?

I like dark lagers too. I was drinking Dark Shiner and Modelo Negra before the liquor store where I fed my habit went out of business. My new store didn't carry the Dark Shiner or 1909 that was my go to so I tried Yuengling which is lighter for sure and six bucks a case cheaper. Yuengling has a Black and Tan that is very good but not cheap. I can buy Yuengling Traditional Lager at my new store for 27 bucks or at Costco at 22 bucks a case. Being as I drink lots of beer, it made sense to make the change.
I am drinking Coffee this morning. It's fresh ground Columbian from Costco.

THOUGHTS ON MICROSOFT ENDING SUPPORT FOR WINDOWS 10

My main gripe is they made everything hard to do, what used to be a one clik chore is now 2 or 3 cliks, and that is if you can find where it is !

Besides they have made the security updates auto install, does not matter if you do not want them, and once installed they can not be rolled back ! ! !

And then there are the small quirks like the single click opening for things, (I do not like that, it has been double clik as long as I can remember), the default look that seems to keep coming back for things even though you change/customize them, etc.

My biggest gripe is after an update it screws my Ethernet drivers up and I have to do a song and a dance to use the internet again ....

Oh and not to mention my Canon PCS makes the security scream because it is not able to play nice with M/softs security, and the only way to stop the naggin, is to buy a "compatible" printer ....

Way to go Gates, I said I was too old to learn Linux, but I learned how to use your garbage didn't I ?

Never say never !
