Archive for June, 2014. 365 Notes: 158 – Weakness in the face of adversity. Posted by David Croft in Uncategorized. I spent nearly 6 months establishing the habit of writing every day. It was hard. Very hard. One emotional shitstorm, with the ensuing depression, undid it all. Writing every day, it turns out, is much much easier. 365 Notes: 156 – The enemy of my enemy. Posted by David Croft in Uncategorized. Naturally, there is considerable thought in the region, rich in nutbars though it is, that these p...

Any regular visitors to this spot will know I am a tad hurricane obsessed. This started a little over 10 years ago when Hurricane Juan came roaring ashore in Nova Scotia as a category 2 storm, getting only slightly downgraded by the time it hit my place.

The Middle East has a scary new bad guy: The Islamic State of Iraq and The Levant, nee The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, nee The Islamic State of Iraq.

At six or seven they brought me more foul concoction to drink,...And here...
