The highest rank?

Yesterday Mom wanted her hair done. So off to Nikki’s we went. (A nice hug from Nikki for bringing Mom in?) After that Mom wanted to go to the fabric store. While she was in there I went next doo...

POOF?

Columbus Day. Indigenous Peoples Day. Day One of the Greatest Genocide in human history? Anyway, this is what I always think of on this day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Day_Storm_of_1...


October 07, 2017

I was right, again.

I’m usually right. Well, I’m right a lot of the time. This may come from the fact that I have time to sit and think through things a fair bit. Yesterday we went and looked at the scooter. Mom tes...

Here we go again.

Evening before last, the day I re-surfaced the carport, I made chicken enchiladas. A simple recipe. Boil and then cut up two chicken breasts. Mix up the chicken, a can of cream of chicken soup, a...


October 05, 2017

Always remember.

Yesterday was busier than most. I woke up at the usual time. Had two cups of coffee while finishing up clearing crap off the carport and porch. I went to the grocery store with a fistful of coupo...


October 03, 2017

So yeah.

It’s a maybe not. 100 degrees is predicted for both Saturday and Sunday. I had to put aside the Lewis & Clark journals for a bit. I’m kinda getting annoyed with their attitude. It’s like if ...


October 02, 2017

Just saying.

Yesterday it was 100 degrees. Maybe that will be the last 100 degree day for the year, maybe not. A definition is called for here. Terrorist: 1. a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidati...

TV online.

I’m so tired of people calling Trump a piece of shit. It’s an insult to shit. Shit has uses. Trump is useless. Yesterday was Mom’s nail appointment at Walmart. So, that meant I could wander aroun...


September 28, 2017

As always.

The nights are still cool enough to sleep with open windows and the A/C off. But the days are forecast to return to the upper nineties for a week or so. November 8, 1805. Lewis & Clark have r...


September 24, 2017

Ignorance unbound.

First, the weather. The A/C has been turned off and the windows opened for two nights in a row now. It was sixty-five degrees in here this morning when I woke up. The daytime highs haven’t reache...


September 22, 2017

Fall!

Today may the first day since I’d arrived on May 1st that the daytime temperature won’t rise above ninety degrees. We’ll see. October 19th, 1805- Lewis and Clark are on the Western side of the c...


September 18, 2017

Nine years.

For only the second time since May I was able to turn off the A/C and open the windows at midnight. It was 75 degrees at midnight and 75 degrees this morning at 8am. The forecast calls for night ...

More errands.

Yesterday was a fine uneventful day. Coffee and reading and putting together a crockpot of soup in the morning. After lunch I drove Mom to her GP. In and out fairly quickly. Back home for NPR on ...


September 14, 2017

Maybe a cookie?

We left the house yesterday morning at about 10:30am and didn’t return until nearly 2pm. One of the last stops was a mall. A shopping mall of pretty good size. It was sadly deserted. What stores ...


September 11, 2017

Today will be fine.

The phone rang before 8am this morning. I let it ring until Mom picked it up in the house. A few minutes later she came out and said it was for me. Daughter, calling with a question about the cam...

A few more weeks.

Yesterday I gave Lillie from across the street a ride to Nikki’s beauty shop. I dropped her off and went to St. Vincent’s thrift shop for a look around. I didn’t see anything new. I went to Walma...


September 09, 2017

Back to normal?

Why am I seeing ads for gun silencers on PB? Most odd. Or just stupid? I went to the hospital yesterday to have lunch with Mom. I ate all mine. She ate none of hers. I went back home. Mom called ...


September 08, 2017

I'm envious.

Mom went to go play with her friends yesterday at 1pm. Less than an hour later Lillie from across the street called and said that mom had passed out at the table. She was bringing Mom’s car to me...


September 06, 2017

Amused.

Mom didn’t bring it up yesterday so I thought it prudent that I shouldn’t either. Maybe she just didn’t realize what day it was. I remember a couple of months ago when I happened to mention that ...


September 05, 2017

Life is life.

I’ll call it a productive day in that I actually did something. This morning I went to the grocery store and wandered a bit. I forgot ketchup. This evening I went to the pool house to shower and ...


September 04, 2017

Here she comes.

I’m amused by the conservatives habit of making up derogatory names for liberals. Especially when the liberals really have ever only used one for conservatives: stupid. libtard antifa Really? Th...

A Houston cousin.

Mom has finally heard through her brother in Midland about his daughter and her family in Houston. Their house never flooded but is basically on a small island. They are currently hosting/housing...

Dipshits.

Hypocrisy. Both Republicans and Texans. They both say “Fuck the Federal Government” until they need money. Dipshits. The common folks though, we’d better say “there but for the grace of the flyi...


August 31, 2017

Just sayin'.

I did write an entry every day for nearly a week. I found that it really emphasized how utterly boring . . . no wait, not boring. I’m never bored. Let’s say uneventful and unworthy of being chron...

Cursor fail, still.

I finished the novel “The Silent Corner” by Dean Koontz. Apparently this is going to be an ongoing character and story. He’s good at those. Okay, so Photobucket craps out on the freebies and OD i...
