HAT Excursus 6: Reasonably Insignificant Horse Feathers     From the South Carolina Lowcountry, where it’s delightfully misty and cool, I say: Hello to my hometown of Marietta, GA; where no pathogen can keep the dogwoods from blooming. Semper Fidelis to the Marines in Oceanside, CA. August in Jacksonville is worse than your hills. Warm Belarusian greetings to my friends in Minsk where you could use a little warmth right about now. And to Stirling Castle overlooking the Forth Valley, salutations from Studio C and… HERE’S A THING: Excursus.Become A HAT Patron

HAT 26: Wolves, Sheep, Sheepdogs, and Turd Weasels  A figure of speech. An idiom. A colloquialism. An expression. There are many way to verbally illustrate the perpetual mechanisms of crisis response among the people.Whether in response to a saber-toothed feline attack, the irrational actions of a demented emperor, or a global plague; there are three categories of reaction. I’ll break them down for you on… HERE’S A THING.Become A Here's A Thing Patron

HAT 25: Arrested Development  So, it would appear, that after 165 generations of  higher human cognitive development we are here. The entire world is the 1st day of kindergarten where everyone requires instruction on hand-washing and cleaning up after oneself. Yay, us. Maybe it's time to put down the game controller, step away from Batman and the Bachelor, and grow the @#$& up.Here's A Thing on Podbean   Here's A Thing Patron Page    HAT Twitter   HAT Facebook   HAT IG

HAT: Special Edition - If by: Rudyard Kipling    “If” by Rudyard Kipling is a spectacular evocation of Victorian stoicism. It was written in the form of a father’s advice to his son. An awful lot of lunacy is spreading among a fearful populace. A certain amount of fear keeps one’s wits sharpened, but irrational panicked fear is destructive. In light of this, I give you the words of Rudyard Kipling.Please donate to the cause by becoming a patron of the show HAT Patron. Many thanks and keep charging up the hill of authenticity!
