Meanwhile...: Rearranging the Furniture
http://fdtate.blogspot.com/2010/09/rearranging-furniture.html
Cause it's only knock and know-all, but I like it.". Tuesday, September 7, 2010. I've been having a hard time keeping one blog updated, so the logical thing to do (as I saw it) was to restart my other blogs. I just couldn't stand the hodgepodge of varying topics here, so my Labor Day weekend project was to separate out some of these topics into other blogs. All the Civil War posts here will eventually be moved back to Civil War Meanderings. A good deal of the transferring of posts has been done and shoul...

Cause it's only knock and know-all, but I like it.". Sunday, June 12, 2011. How I Spent My Summer Vacation. You might have been wondering after all my recent troubles, but yeah, I'm still online, though you wouldn't know it from all the activity here. I've been spending most of my free time trying to catch up my Civil War blog. But I was back online in time for the beginning of the war at Fort Sumter. Or so I thought. I posted the day before. I've also started the NASCAR blog. Or checking in on the Faceb...

Cause it's only knock and know-all, but I like it.". Thursday, January 1, 2015. My 2015 Reading List. Photo cre dit: Wikipedia. Last year's New Year's resolution was to read more, and for some reason I decided to keep track of what I read by keeping a reading list on this blog. Unfortunately, that was the only thing I did on this blog for the entire year. I'm not sure if I'll ever start blogging again on any kind of regular basis, but I've decided to make another reading list, so here goes. Delved deeper...

Cause it's only knock and know-all, but I like it.". Wednesday, January 1, 2014. My 2014 Reading List. Right before the Christmas holidays, I started a new job at the same old place I've been working. The new job is more about how much I know as opposed to how much work I can do. Suddenly, I've got more responsibilities, but more free time to kill with nothing much to do but read. 1 The Eyes of the Dragon. This is what I was reading. um, re-reading, when the calendar ticked over to the new year. ...I'm n...

Cause it's only knock and know-all, but I like it.". Saturday, May 14, 2011. Image by NASA Goddard Photo and Video. So, yeah, we're all a little skittish after the tornado outbreak. In my case, a tornado devastated a little subdivision about a half a mile from my house, then either veered away or passed right overhead. It was close enough that I heard the train sound you're supposed to hear when a tornado comes. So, yeah, that was still pretty fresh in my mind. I 'bout fell out of my chair. My first ...

Meanwhile...: "Bloodbuzz Ohio"
http://fdtate.blogspot.com/2010/05/bloodbuzz-ohio.html
Cause it's only knock and know-all, but I like it.". Thursday, May 20, 2010. A couple of weeks ago I did a Weekend Assignment. Post about poetry. The gist of the post. Was that I didn't care much about poetry unless it was set to music as lyrics. I also made the debatable point that maybe our best poets aren't really poets at all, but are songwriters. And there's all that other stuff - "stand up straight at the foot of your love," "lay my head on the hood of your car," "I still owe money to the money to ...

Cause it's only knock and know-all, but I like it.". Friday, April 8, 2011. Don't you just hate it when you're following a blog and it suddenly goes dead on you - no updates, no new posts, not a word of warning? Did the author die or is he/she going through some sort of crisis that precludes posting inconsequential stuff on the Internet? And not have to wade through photos or NASCAR results. Incidentally, I'm was working on a series of posts there - the Civil War Calendar. This was a "This Day in History...

Cause it's only knock and know-all, but I like it.". Saturday, May 28, 2011. I was very saddened today to hear of the death of Gil Scott-Heron. Scott-Heron, 62, died at a Manhattan hospital Friday. The cause of death wasn't disclosed, but he had a long, painful history of substance abuse. He never achieved much more than cult status, but was best known for " The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be televised. Scott-Heron, who had a masters in ...

Cause it's only knock and know-all, but I like it.". Sunday, September 18, 2011. The Westboro Baptist Church brought their virulent mixture of hatred, stupidity and religion to the Foo Fighters show in Kansas City Friday. Why? Who the hell knows. But the Foo Fighters fought the foo, counter-protesting the protestors by showing up on a flatbed truck to do "Keep It Clean (Hot Buns).". Foo Fighters Protest Hate Church With Gay Sex Song.
