President Trump – Roscoe's Story

Three small changes October 1, 2020
Three small changes Earlier this week I cancelled my Twitter account. The darned thing had become a time sink of very little value. Also this week I enabled comments to posts at my personal website. Not that I'm expecting to get any, but still. As long as it doesn't become a spam or bot magnet, […]
Remembering how I used to do it. September 28, 2020
Remembering how I used to do it. Sunday nights often find me jumping around the AM band, trying to find an acceptable radio station that I can listen to while drifting off to sleep. My favorite is only good Monday through Friday; on the weekends programming there changes and becomes more annoying than relaxing. To […]
Friday Night College Football September 26, 2020
Friday Night College Football Tonight's Middle Tennessee vs. UTSA game is being played here in San Antonio at the Alamodome, a venue where I've watched a lot of football. I'm following tonight's game via radio broadcast, though. I tried to catch the game on Roku's TuneIn Channel but, once again, there was no audio playing […]
After a surprisingly productive early Thursday... September 24, 2020
After a surprisingly productive early Thursday... ... this late afternoon finds me relaxed and mapping out my major project for the next few months: cleaning off the back porch and cleaning out the garage, throwing away as much trash as I can get away with. Tomorrow and Saturday should allow me time to make a […]
Running blogs within a blog... September 22, 2020
Running blogs within a blog... ... makes sense to me. Having one central place where my blogging activities can be found simplifies things for me. And that one central place is Roscoe's Story, my primary website. The screengrab seen above shows all three blogs as I currently have them running. The larger, central column of […]
College Football Saturday! Yes! September 19, 2020
College Football Saturday! Yes! My favorite way to follow football has always been to listen to good play-by-play coverage over the radio. I can close my eyes and “see” the game much better while listening to the radio than by watching on TV. And I'm happy to find a full schedule of live games playing […]
Back with the ICCF now September 17, 2020
Back with the ICCF now Several days ago I reactivated my membership in the International Correspondence Chess Federation and now have a two-game match in progress there. It's been over a decade since I played any games under the auspices the ICCF, what I considered then and still do as the premier place for serious […]
Another head-scratcher September 11, 2020
Another head-scratcher This morning I was notified by a club in which I play that I had won another game with the White pieces. And this is another victory that has me scratching my head and wondering: why? Black's army had stormed out after my conventional opening and launched a powerful attack on my Queen-side. […]
This morning's yard work... September 9, 2020
This morning's yard work... ... courtesy of last night's storm. When I stepped out my front door this morning I was greeted by the sight of a fair-sized branch (maybe six feet long and very bushy) laying in my yard. Storms like the one that came through the area last night often bring down sticks […]
A little Labor Day win September 7, 2020
A little Labor Day win This win was not mysterious at all. The game didn't end with a checkmate, that would have come many tortuous moves into this game's future. But with my material advantage (my White Bishop and Knight vs. his lone Bishop, and an equal number of pawns) I would have been able […]

Pray for the First Family

No post-war leader has ever had to endure what this man has had to endure since ascending to office.

None have had to face the injustice he has had to endure.

America and the World already owe @realDonaldTrump more than we can ever repay.

I think so, too.

I couldn’t care less what anybody says, I think @realdonaldtrump is a great President. He has stepped up to the plate in this crisis like a champion.
