Their loss, not mine! in A small but passable life.
With the government $600 in my account I went shopping again. I went to Sweetwater. I found a Yamaha acoustic guitar for $199. Out of stock. I found a Roland: Go 88-key portable piano on sale for...
Alone again. in A small but passable life.
Daughter was here for a week. My oldest niece and her daughter were here for a few days. They got everything done that was needed to be done. One pick-up load to charity. One pick-up load went ho...
Finally! in A small but passable life.
It only took thirteen days for the whole “Sell your car in ten minutes” fiasco. I dropped the car off Monday. Was told the “Instant Payment” should be in my account in two or three hours. I guess...
Accused, again. in A small but passable life.
I always get a kick out of being accused of being a Democrat or Liberal. Especially when the accuser has no idea that the label is totally nonsensical, like all other labels are in modern politic...
Easy? For whom? in A small but passable life.
I spent three or four hours on the phone with carvana on Saturday. My phone wouldn’t send the three pictures I needed to send (front and back of DL and odometer). The damn thing just kept saying ...
Calculations. in A small but passable life.

Progress made! in A small but passable life.
Mom’s trailer is cleaned out and organized. It is ready for Daughter and oldest Niece to sort and cart off the piles I’ve made. Stuff I would take to the Goodwill is all out in the carport and in...
Exactly six years ago. in A small but passable life.
December 4th, 2014. That was the start. I flew out here to check on Mom. Just to get a better picture of where she was at both physically and mentally. She was fine. I flew back home at the end o...
R.I.P. The best Mom in the world, 1937-2020 in A small but passable life.
Mom died this afternoon. She went peacefully and quick. She had never woken up from the emergency surgery. I didn’t have time to be with her. But Nurse Ashley was there with her. Nurse Ashley is ...
Very good news and very bad news. in A small but passable life.
Which do you want to hear first? Where did that question originate? All google seems to care about is the question, not the origin of the question. Daughter’s covid test came back negative. And s...
Still waiting X2. in A small but passable life.
Daughter is still waiting at home for her covid test to come back. She’s still feeling the same. No better, no worse. I had a moment of financial weakness and ordered three items from my amazon w...
Waiting. in A small but passable life.

Karma, bitch!
Still 264 to 214, but . . . in A small but passable life.
It looks like Biden, so far, has Nevada by about 12,000 votes which would give him the 270. But, get this, he now has Georgia, so far, by about 1000 votes and Pennsylvania, so far, by about 7000 ...
264 to 214. in A small but passable life.
All Biden needs is Nevada and to maintain the lead in Arizona. Drumpf can have the rest. Prop 207 passed here. Arizona has become the 13th state to legalize cannabis. I guess I called it right by...
Found gold! in A small but passable life.
Yesterday afternoon I dropped Mom off at her hairdressers and I wandered next door to the Goodwill store. I was told by Nikki that I had forty-five minutes to wait. I perused the aisles until my ...
Finally! in A small but passable life.
Yesterday, a mere ten days after the 145th plus 100 degree day, the high was 66 degrees. Very, very nice. It won’t last though. It will be back up into the 80’s by day after tomorrow and maybe 90...
Another record set. in A small but passable life.
Wednesday a record was set for the most triple digit days in a year since 1896. 144 days it has been 100 degrees or hotter. The old record was 143. And we may add another day today. This year we’...
