Always.
A few days ago we had our hottest day of the year so far, 97 degrees, and right now thunderstorms with a spattering of rain are blowing through. Crazy. While Mom and I were out running errands ye...
off Exit 198.
I had gotten an early start. I was at the bank before 9:30am. After nearly an hour waiting I was finally seated at a desk. I only had three tasks to complete. And alas, because of some legal mumb...
No egg laying rabbits here!
Last Easter I woke up in the woods after my thirty day sojourn. I packed up my camp and hiked out to the road. I brewed my coffee and sat and waited for my ride. Daughter’s mother soon arrived an...
A story for another time.
For a couple of days there it was too windy and cool to lay by the pool so I ran errands. I wandered around Walmart for two hours while Mom had her mani/pedi done. I didn’t see anything I wanted ...
Cringe worthy?
The political ads started up on the TV this past week. All four of the candidates are obnoxious, with Bernie’s being the least obnoxious, but obnoxious nonetheless. The least “cringe worthy”? Two...
...question!
I finished reading “Battlefield America” by John W. Whitehead. We, as a country are definitely heading into a new paradigm. Related to the book but gleaned from elsewhere is the fact that this e...
Turds.
At the beginning of this election cycle there were nineteen human turds floating in the republican toilet. Now there are two?, three?, four? left. Someone needs to just flush the damn thing. An...
More truth . . .
The only difference between humans and other animals is that humans can make stuff up. Write that on a piece of paper and look at it now and again. Look around. Look at everything we’ve made up....
Finally. DRUMPH!!!
Done deal.
This is crazy. I wrote yesterday’s entry yesterday. And this morning while perusing my morning news I ran into this: http://www.rawstory.com/2016/02/tripping-without-lsd-how-your-brainwaves-can-p...
Got to go out.
Yesterday was another warm day at the pool. 86 degrees outside. Daughter called yesterday morning. She said that gas prices had bottomed out at $1.18 a gallon before easing back up. Unreal. Yes...
Purgatory.
Two more overcast days with highs in the low eighties. I ran errands instead of lying by the pool. I did another round of grocery shopping. I took Mom to a doctor appointment. I took Mom to the l...
Clueless.
Today was a record breaker. It was the earliest day in the year ever for the temperature to hit ninety degrees. I still managed a few hours lying by the pool. I’ve always loved the feel of my hid...
Forgot a book!
So, I write two entries and forget to mention that I’ve finished reading “Lights Out” by Ted Koppel. It was an eye opening book. I’ve thought about the premise often but Koppel really researched ...
95%
I thought I’d be able to complete this lifetime as a landless peasant. No such luck. My brother and I now own the RV lot and everything on it. Anyway, it took us nearly a week to go through ever...
A shredding day.
A cold (er) front moved in Sunday night. 50mph winds ripping across the desert valley. That brought in a week of Winter (ish) weather. High’s in the fifties, lows in the thirties. One whole week....
One more step.
Mom’s doctor appointment Thursday afternoon was a bust. He was the referral from the GP so the next step in the process, I guess. He was a ‘rods, screws, and pins’ surgeon. Mom has two cracked ve...
Sorting out.
I’ve got the kitchen sorted out and stocked up for at least a week or two. I renewed my Arizona ID card and library card. When I was at the library today I perused the used books for sale shelve...
1180 miles West, again.
4pm. 74 degrees here. 28 degrees back home. Daughter hasn’t called yet. Probably because she knows I’ll laugh at her. Anyway, the flight was good. Only a half hour late landing. The plane had to ...
Perfect timing.
6:36am. 26 degrees with a wind chill of 17 degrees here. 50 degrees there. Everything is on track, so far. Yesterday morning I walked to the library. There was a thin glaze of ice on the sidewalk...
Getting 'er done!
Okay, okay, okay. Yesterday was a productive day. I got everything picked up, packed up, and piled up. I got my carry-on packed. I may need to re-pack it to make sure there is nothing extra in th...
So what.
10am. 13 degrees here, 52 degrees there. Three more days here. I haven’t gotten anything done except sit here and think about all I need to do. I called Mom last evening to tell her when my fligh...
No motivation.
Well, I guess it’s something to look forward to. It is 21 degrees here with a wind chill of 7 degrees and snowing a bit at 10:39am. It is 52 degrees with a high of 68 degrees predicted in the des...
Dammit.
Daughter returned from her Mum’s yesterday saying her Grandma had called. I was to call her back. I tried her cell phone. Got shunted to voicemail. Called her house phone. She said she’d just g...
Just like every day.
I’m losing track of time or losing my mind or maybe a little bit of both. I know things are written down as they occur, here and elsewhere, but I’ve never gone back to look. So it was last night ...
