Last Saturday, Mrs. LFM and I returned to the venue I wrote about in my 15 April 2010 article, Off the Beaten Path. This time it was just the two of us, which paid off because we were able to be more stealthy and therefore met up with some things we wouldn’t otherwise have seen. […]

Doers and Talkers By LFM The Doers and the Talkers Are as a breed apart. While Doers work and get things done, The Talkers never start. The Talker never does a thing But bend the Doer’s ear, The noise he makes comes from his mouth, Not tools and working gear. This happens from a simple […]

Many of the most entertaining movies I’ve ever seen are in the so called “B movie” category. There is a lot of absolute crap to be found there to be sure, but the number of true gems that one uncovers among them makes the hunt worth while. Once upon a time, in my neck of […]
