Cat tracks on the counter... in These titles mean nothing.

I no longer play solitaire. I got to Genius level and decided that was far enough. Though.... a person does wonder what comes after Genius.

I just learned that ironic quotes around words, like now that I’m a ‘genius’, are called scare quotes. It always bother me, ‘genius’ that I am, to discover I didn’t know something. Are you familiar with the term? If so how long have you known about it?

I’m almost to the end of Rich Man, Poor Man. I had to quit because something bad was going to happen. I may read backwards from the end so I can skip the bad part.

Snow is gone, still no rain. Water is high along the Mississippi but no flooding here. My yard is a mess. Lots of cow tracks. Lots of Gracie detritus. Not sure when I’ll be in the mood to do anything about it. No flowers showing up… that I’ve seen.

I have to write something for Sunday. Am thinking about the time we sold PIK corn in Crystal Lake IL and saw the movie ‘Terms of Endearment’.

Two tractors are in town - one getting new back tires (and a new rim) and the other is having its wheels moved in or out - I’m never sure what’s going on.
