No JC Penny On This Mall
The NukeFamily spent the weekend in DC. We went to the Mall. The one without the stores. It was my first trip, but it won't be my last. Although the weather was overcast with light rain, it actually kept the crowds down and made navigating the monuments easier. The Smithsonian was having their Annual Kite Festival at the foot of →
Where Have I Been?
This has been the bane of my existence for the last week: I had to get it finished due to a quick weekend trip and the threat of rain. Overkill? Maybe. My next project is to build a canary cage out of cinder block. See you Monday.
Take The “L”
Remember that Motels song from the 80's; Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over? Yeah, heard it in the car today and started wondering why I didn't have this thought back when I first heard this song, and then I realized that back then, there were probably copious amounts of beer involved. Come to think of →
What The Hell Is This?
You knew it couldn't last forever, right? I don't know, I guess I just got sick of looking at that stinking same old template; I mean, it's been a year since I did anything substantial to this thing. Please give me all of the feedback you'd like; let me know what you think about it; likes and dislikes. It's by →
A Bird In The Mouth Is Worth Two In The Paw
Did you hear that they finally found the gene that causes shyness? They would have found it sooner, but it was hiding behind some other genes. In related news; the murder of 4 rednecks remains unsolved as all of the DNA is the same and there is no dental record. Speaking of teeth; what has 12 tits and 26 teeth? →
That Was Quick…
Today marks the 1 year anniversary of Nuclear Family Warhead. Please save your applause until the end. A year ago, I thought that starting a blog (called it a website back then) with my neighbor about stay at home Dads would make us millionaires! Who wouldn't want to read about the trials and tribulations of 2 stay at home Dads →
Scammed By The E*TRADE Baby
Talk about your down economy. I was watching TV with NukeGirl this morning before school when a commercial came on for the Clipo Hippo. Who do you think is the star of this shameless attempt to extort money from hard working parents nationwide? That's right, the E*TRADE Baby. I know it was him. The commercial isn't on You Tube or →
That’s How I Used To Roll
NukeBoy2 had a birthday party to go to today. It was at the local skating rink. It's about what you would imagine a family run skating rink in a small North Carolina town to look like; 1978. I've been here many times for various birthday parties that the kids have attended, and one that we hosted, but the nostalgia never →
Like A Summer In Juneau
OK, maybe it's not Chicago weather, but we got blasted with a decent snow storm Sunday night into Monday morning. We got about 4 1/2" here at our house, but some places nearby got as much as 7". School was cancelled Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday we had a 2 hour delay. The kids had a blast and the washing machine →
Two Tales Of A City: Part II
Previously I told you about the Women of Juarez and how they are being slaughtered in numbers that should be too big to ignore. I intimated that maybe the authorities aren't as culpable as it would seem. The reason for that goes beyond the corruption that has plagued Mexico for decades. In recent years, it has less to do with →
Two Tales Of A City: Part I
My hometown of El Paso shares a common border with it's sister city, Juarez, Mexico. Most cities have to look to Europe to find a sister city; ours was just a stones throw away. You didn't need to have a great arm for that rock toss either. The border between the 2 cities/countries is the Rio Grande river; the subject →
