Diatribe: Pistols As Door Prizes? What’ll They Think Of Next?
DiatribesAndOvations ― My only experience with shooting a gun was, as a boy, on a pheasant-hunting trip with my father. He cajoled me into shooting his shotgun (against my wishes if I recall correctly) and it about knocked me on my hind end. Ever since that day, and... (more)

Diatribe: Please Don’t Vaccuum Around Our Feet.
DiatribesAndOvations ― Back in the 1970s we had shag carpeting in our “rec room”. It was a long shag and it was green. After it was vacuumed, we would “rake” it. We had a special, plastic rake that resembled the tool one might use when working in the yard and... (more)

Diatribe: Tigers In A Petting Zoo? Really?!
DiatribesAndOvations ― As a child, I was always fascinated by petting zoos. Frequently, my folks would give in to what I’m sure was incessant whining and pleading and allow me to pet some goats. I was intrigued by the double-door system at the entrance to most of... (more)

Diatribe: Cashiers That Want Our Telephone Numbers.

Diatribe: “Street Newspapers”
DiatribesAndOvations ― I support fundraising efforts of many organizations but I have little tolerance for beggars. Fundraisers that are organized, advertised and have a purpose are always more successful than panhandlers or folks with signs on the side of the road. I... (more)

Diatribe: Even Well-Trained Dogs Can Fall Out Of Truckbeds.

Diatribe: Birthday Cake In The Face Leads To Stabbings.

Diatribe: Youth Escort Policies. Are They Unfair To Well-Behaved Teens?
