Exit 198
I did manage to finish “The Eleven Million Mile High Dancer” by Carol De Chellis Hill (a re-read) before I left. That’s twelve books for the year so far. The flight West went off without a hitch....
Two hours to go.
3pm. Two more hours until my ride to the airport. Everything is packed away. The check-in bag ended up weighing 36 point something pounds. The scale I used is a digital scale so hopefully it is a...
Not me.
It’s just not funny anymore. It’s just pathetic. Pathetic and sad. And a bit disgusting. MSM of course loves it for the revenue stream. I’m satisfied in the fact that no matter what happens I can...
Still too much!
Daughter and I got out and about Tuesday. We went to Lowe’s where I bought a five foot piece of 1½” Schedule 40 plastic pipe and two caps. That will complete a project I’ve meant to do for years....
I think not.
Saturday the high temp here was 46 degrees. Today it is above 80 degrees. I’m making progress with the sorting and packing. I zipped up the big check-in suitcase and dragged it downstairs to put...
One more week.
It seems as if the weather is mocking me, knowing that a week from tomorrow I may not experience this brand of weather for a long time. It has been cool, overcast, rainy, and thunder storming for...
Annoyingly so.
Mom called a week or so ago. And of course she told a tale that was weeks old. She had fallen, again, but decided she was fine. Then later, weeks later, she was hurting and decided to call an amb...
Too much.
Honestly, I need to stay away from the news sites on the interwebs. A small town of about 8000 folks in Wisconsin. A 65 year old man calls 911 for medical assistance. The pigs get there before t...
Strange times.
How about that whole United Airlines thing? Crazy, eh? I’m still wondering how the terrorists got past the TSA. They were dressed like terrorists and were even openly displaying weapons. But yet ...
I, on the other hand . . .
Dan Quayle and DJT.
Memory lane.
I finished reading “Insane Clown President: Dispatches from the 2016 Circus” by Matt Taibbi. Two quotes from the book: “America has been trending stupid for a long time.” “A lot of American cult...
Another book.
I found an email Wednesday from the library. A book! A new book! After my morning coffee I took off walking to fetch it. While I was there I ordered another book off my list. I spent the rest of ...
Evolution of the peepshow?
Sunday before last I was up 2.2 lbs. in mass. This Sunday I was up .2 lbs. Not sure what happened there with that nearly three pound weekly loss a few weeks ago. I eat and defecate about the same...
Not a word.
I finished reading “A Most Improbable Journey: A Big History of Our Planet and Ourselves” by Walter Alvarez yesterday. That was the book I’d checked out last Monday. I’m still waiting for two boo...
Very strange weather?
Sunday morning after waking up at my usual 10am I pulled back the blanket over the window and found huge snowflakes falling from the sky. It wasn’t accumulating as the ground was much too warm. B...
Holey socks.
I’m still sitting here. I finished reading “The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule” by Thomas Frank. He’s the guy who wrote “What’s the Matter With Kansas?” His predictions have come true in K...
No Winter?
I had to look to see when I’d last scribbled in here. Sixteen days ago. Wow. Okay. Where was I? Monday before last Liam Dog and I walked to the library to check out the two books waiting for me. ...
Indeed.
I finished reading “The Kingdom of Speech” by Tom Wolfe. An interesting overview on the phenomena for sure. Wednesday I walked downtown to the library to return the book. I also ordered two more ...
Popped his cherry!
Barely into his second week as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States and he’s killed his first U.S. service member and an eight year old girl. This occurred in Yemen. I don’...
Here we go!
Another book.
I finished reading “America at War with Itself” by Henry A. Giroux. “We are already living amongst the ruins of the future.” -Henry A. Giroux I actually went out for a walk yesterday to the lib...
A re-cap!
The loser thinks he's king.
What about the grizzlies?
Less than forty-eight hours until the president elect with the lowest poll rating two days before swearing in in poll history is sworn in. I tried watching some of the hearings, but I couldn’t d...
