Knoxville’s 2026 snopocalypse

Knoxville we have dusting here and there on the roads

Don’t tell Cathy. I am working on a new trick.

I am going to this for general learning. I don’t consider myself an ideal candidate. Join if you can. I'm attending Contest Every Race's event, “Ready to Run” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/contest-ever...

Just going to put this out here. There is absolutely a right side and a wrong side to a Ritz cracker.

Food for thought: You don’t need a thermometer to know how cold it is outside if you have an unheated bidet

I’m having breakfast in the hotel lobby and a lady came down for breakfast in silky, skimpy pajamas looking like she just rolled out of bed, did her hair and makeup, and came straight to the lobby

I think it would be fun to have all my therapists over the years gather in one room then listen to them compare notes. Now that's new definition for group therapy!

The president has openly declared war on the American people and stated he wants to use American cities as training grounds. Call your House representative. Demand they impeach the president? You have the power! At least for now. Pick up your phone. It's an easy call. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

You know when a relative passes away and you want to try to reconnect with them so you decide to scroll through their photos on their phone? Yeah, don’t do that.

Good! Now get on the phone with your House representatives and tell them to support the impeachment of RFK Jr. They need to hear from you. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Alexa+ is rocking! Loving the conversational style. So much closer to talking to Jarvis

Whenever I feel like looking at social media, I force myself to do a lesson in Morse Toad before allowing myself to open that social media app. More times than not, the social media app never gets opening after the Morse code lesson.

What a bizarre timeline! Never thought I'd see the day that I agree with Tucker Carlson

Trump is a weak man

I think I finally understand football. It’s something to stare at while you drink beer.

Friday night

This week's dispatch... open.substack.com/pub/document...

I called Governor Bill Lee today. Have you? (615) 741-2001

I say what you are thinking so that you don't have to say it

Young her: “What’s your relation to the patient?” Me: “Father” Her: “Your relation?” Me: “Father” Her: blank stare Me: “Dad” Her: “Oh” Old man beside her: “He’s Gen X. Father is dad.”

Who is the best urologist in Knoxville?

Knoxville: anyone happen to have a 1.5” step bit I could borrow for 12 holes? Mine is 1 3/8 and I seem to have miscalculated.

Firewood, storms, and a new rhythm of life in the #ScottishBorders. There is a chat with #vanlife strangers and thoughts on thoughts on the possibility of benevolent dictators. As well as CD nostalgia, #metaldetecting, & the Normandy Mule. There is also some links. open.substack.com/pub/document...

Such a fun way to learn how to copy cw (Morse code)! morsle.fun

One year I’m going to sleep. And I mean the entire year…like a hibernating bear

Just witnessed a drive-by meter reading by my water company

Just writing up the week's adventures and realised it's August already. Here is a photo of #BerwickUponTweed's pier for #PhotoMonth

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Eventually you will look up from your phone and acknowledge that if you want your soup hot that you need to turn on the stovetop.

Your lives are algorithmic. You control it. The moment mainstream media sees a trend in decline, they switch to a trend on the rise. Control the narrative! Go to every search engine and main stream news site. Search for "Epstein", "th list", "the Epstein list". Do not stop until justice is served!

This week's dispatch is out... Around 2352 words but you don't have to read all of them... #Writing documentally.substack.com/p/dirt-under...

If you aren’t cursing at Alexa, are you really using her?

HELO We’ve begun our third day without Internet. The house has divided into factions. Food rations are dwindling. We have plenty of toilet paper. Send a checksum.

Been writing this... open.substack.com/pub/document... If you have the curiosity/attention span, there's also lot of links...

Knoxville: Is your Internet out?

I feel naked without my watch. Hmm.. What if I only wore my....

How’s your day going? I just brewed water

What do my passengers look terrified when I drive over the white dotted lines in the road saying “wocka wocka wocka wocka”?

Ah! I see AI has matured into its patronizing phase

If someone has a sticker on their car that says, be kind to everyone can I still hook the horn at them?

I find myself increasingly terse with my AI agents. Pretty sure this is how the wars begin. #skynetishere

Sometimes you just need to accept that you’ve gone too far down the rabbit hole and the only way out is to keep going

Here is my latest dispatch... documentally.substack.com/p/unmediated... should you want something to read, watch, listen to. #Writing #Podcast #Technology #Nature #Borders #TheBorders

Rush hour in #TheBorders. Day two of #AudioMo …visualisation made with #FlipVox

Home Depot…. It’s where you go when you need lumber that looks like it was cut at a sawmill with a dull blade by someone working their last day

I’ve found the title to my new book “How to F*ck Your Day in Five Words”

KPD is making bank giving out tickets at Morrell and Westland
