A Pirate on the Prairie

Flying the Jolly Roger in the Midwest

Welcome to A Pirate on the Prairie, a place for me to share whatever insights, thoughts, and opinions that strike my fantasy. Viewed another way, it is my place in the crow's nest for a 50-something pirate to shout into the teeth of the hurricane.

“Old Flame” (Alabama)

“Alabama - Old Flame (Official Video)” https://youtu.be/tP8cYNZj8eg

“Why Lady Why” (Alabama)

Well, I have been reliably informed by a relationship expert with a perfect record in the romantic relationships department that he is probably just obsessed or feeling nostalgic. 😏 “Why Lady Why” https://youtu.be/t9QI97DSIwI

“This Night Won't Last Forever” (Sawyer Brown)

We can all be thankful at one time or another for that small mercy. IYKYK. “Sawyer Brown - This Night Won't Last Forever (Official Music Video)” https://youtu.be/b2hlu3alK_4

“God Blessed Texas” (Little Texas)

I have only passed through Texas by automobile and airplane, but I did date a beauty from Texas while I was working in California. I have seen nothing to contradict Little Texas’ claim. “Little Texas - God Blessed Texas” https://youtu.be/mbH60wCO-Yw

Solo Miniatures Wargaming

I was watching YouTube videos and browsing the suggested videos that were being proposed to me by YouTube, when I came across an interesting, relatively short video on the topic of solo miniatures wargaming by the Giggan (@Giggan-h2r) YouTube channel. While I have posted about my interest and progress towards playing tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) as a solo participant, I haven’t mentioned my interest in solo board wargaming and solo miniatures wargaming. And I am intere

“Holding Out for a Hero” (Bonnie Tyler)

I always liked this song from the Footloose soundtrack. Rest in peace, Bonnie Tyler. “Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out For A Hero (Official HD Video)” https://youtu.be/bWcASV2sey0

Healing Medicine

I expect most men that have some experience with women will agree with this message from Laurin of the Flourish with Laurin YouTube channel. A woman’s touch can stir the blood, bring focus, or inspire calm. And yes, it can be medicine for a guy. “A woman’s touch is real medicine for men.” https://youtu.be/0Q7QR7p3haQ

Totally Worth It?

🇺🇸🌊🤔 Four months imprisonment for living your dream, if only for a moment? Some might say that is totally worth it. Hopefully he was still able to separate from military service without receiving a punitive discharge such as a dishonorable discharge or bad conduct discharge.

Happy 250th Birthday, USA!

Happy Independence Day, Patriots! In honor of the occasion, I am sharing an exchange between a military representative of King George III and some of his more unruly former subjects. Admittedly, I am not entirely certain that the reply from Patriot leaders is entirely accurate, although the sentiment is absolutely on the mark. “If you do not desist in your opposition to the British, I shall march this army over the mountains, hang your leaders, and lay waste to your country w
