I found this amusing.
Just the three of us.
Tomorrow morning marks a week that we’ve been left at home. We as in Liam Dog, Asscat, and I. The youngsters took off last Friday morning for a week or so in Colorado. They are on a mission. Les...
Three months now.
I really need to stop thinking about this upcoming election. An election with the two worst candidates in American history can have no good outcome. The weather continues to be hot and humid. T...
Welfare for grocery stores?
Let’s throw some truth out there. Total SNAP benefits in 2014 were $74.1 billion, benefiting some 46.6 million people with an average of $125.35 for each person per month. Never mind the people w...
Still alive.
What I would really like is to step outside into fifty degree weather. It has been six months since I’ve experienced that. I miss it. It has been very hot and humid here. Today may be the first o...
Still reading.
All is quiet here in this, the second whitest city of its size in the USA. Cops haven’t shot any unarmed people here in a couple of years. And that poor guy lived, rolling away in a wheelchair wi...
Storm is a brewing.
I tried to get an early start again yesterday but failed. I mean 8:30am wasn’t too late but I was trying for 7am. I went down and put on a pot of coffee and fed Asscat. When Liam Dog and I went o...
Such is life.
I decided to try something different today. Yesterday I didn’t roll out of bed until noon. So pathetic. There was no need for that twelve hours of sack time. I wasn’t finished with my ‘morning’ c...
Daydreaming.
I did get the front lawn mowed Wednesday. And then it started storming and raining which has continued since. Four days now, off and on. 1.17 inches in the last seven days. The back yard. The cle...
Settled routine?
I’m still reading the summary of philosophy book. It’s amazing to realize that most thinkers had the whole thing figured out long before the big three Abrahamic religions were fabricated basicall...
Stupid humans?
The number one google search in Great Britain the day after the vote was “What is the EU?”. Stupid humans. It took me three evenings to watch the thirteen episodes of season four of “Orange is t...
A brave new world?
There hasn’t been anything going on around here. It’s been hot and humid. Unusually hot. Liam Dog and I did manage two long walks. One on the 8th to the library to pick up the latest book, “End o...
R.I.P. USA
So, that’s where we are? A choice between a rich racist dumbass or a warmongering corporate whore? And just a reminder: 14 POINTS OF FASCISM Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism ...
A mission.
Liam Dog and I finally got out for a much needed walk yesterday. It was a short one, but nice. When we returned I got to work on the mower. I couldn’t find the roll of bailing wire so I found an ...
Mr. Handyman.
Liam Dog and I managed to get up and moving a lot earlier than usual this morning- 9am! We went downstairs and I put on a pot of coffee and put the pork roast in the crockpot. I did it my sis-in-...
Last day of May.
“He (Plato) concludes that as a species of image-maker the sophist belongs to those who deal in semblances. Their forte is in the construction of contradictions which, they freely admit, are inte...
Something, anything?
I’ve finished reading “Postcapitalism: A Guide To Our Future” by Paul Mason and “The Other Slavery” by Andres Resendez. That’s three books for the month of May and eleven for the year so far. Pre...
Chicken tacos.
It has rained steadily for the past twenty-four hours. And the temperature has been steady at 54 degrees. There was thunder early this morning. I know my debris piles in the yard are now thorough...
Progress?
Cooler weather has returned. Last night at 8pm it was 59 degrees here and 96 degrees where I’d just returned from. The backyard is halfway raked. Several huge piles of debris are waiting to be b...
1180 miles East. Once again.
The flight East was uneventful. It actually felt rather routine since I’ve now made four round trips since December 3, 2014. That’s nearly ten thousand miles. Crazy. I had to wait outside at the ...
Perfect timing!
It is 100 degrees outside right now. It is the first triple digit day this year. It is 71 degrees back home. I’m leaving in the morning. I’d call it perfect timing. Things are as good as they can...
A scared little man?
Mom found a doctor through the grapevine that she wanted to go see. He specializes in the “super glue” method for cracked vertebrae. She called and got right in. After that appointment that docto...
More truth.
So yeah, nothing new here. Just watching the world spin.
All good stuff.
I had a good talk with Mom this morning. She thinks she’s ready to try it on her own again. Maybe she’ll make it more than three months this time. We’ll see. I just booked a flight for May the 5t...
Sanity waning?
This morning started as usual. Wait for the bathroom light to come on. Mom is usually up early to pee, without the light, and then goes back to bed. Or if later, up for good turning the light on....
