  • The focus is red wine and to get right to it without distraction, click The Wine Commonsewer Speaks. The rest of the enchilada is just enough of an eclectic mix of commentary on culture, food, tax, and econ 101 to distract from the focus on red wine.

    We appreciate your patronage.

Man Accused of Shooting Lawn Mower for Not Starting

Gentle Readers,

Mrs TWC just hollered over to tell me that I was in the news. I hollered back that I'm better looking than THAT guy.

I've never personally dispatched a lawnmower with a 12 gauge but I kicked the murdercycle over one time for a similar offense. In my day, I've thrown a few hammers across the room, so, yes, I'm acquainted with that feeling (no, I don't beat the family, kick the dogs, or pick fights in seedy biker bars).

Apparently I come by it honestly. My granddad once pitched a hand crank through the windshield after it kicked back and nearly broke his arm. Car didn't start, neither. Good thing Grandma ducked.

Years ago the Nielson ratings people had a guy who regularly shot up his TV set when it'd make him mad. Know that feeling too, though I don't much watch that thing.

El Jeronimo de Crow used to say that.....

.....TV is the Opiate of the People.

As Ever,

TWC
