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...
Mental illness demonstrated!
Ken Ham is the perfect example of mental illness. How in the fuck can anyone be so close minded and ignorant as this dumbass?
Finally got out!
So, that was a nice walk yesterday. Liam Dog wasn’t awake yet when I headed out at about 4pm. I could have waited but the forecast was predicting rain to start soon. I had to dig out my toque and...
trailertrashgranny!
We didn’t go for a walk in the snow. Then the snow melted. It was 68 degrees this past Wednesday. Thursday it was 32 degrees. Yesterday the trees were covered with ice all day. Today it is almost...
Real snow.
I woke up the second time this morning thinking “10:18”. It was 10:10. Not bad. I got up and pulled back the towel over the south window. Snow. Snowing. There was already a few inches on the grou...
Another one . . .
Well hell. I made it to another year. 2017. Why do people say “twenty seventeen” when it is obviously two thousand seventeen? Recap of 2016- I read only twenty-two books. I sat in this lawn chai...
A good Christmas.
About a week or so ago we had some actual December weather with temps below freezing. Yesterday and today it was, is sixty degrees. And last night a narrow band of thunderstorm rolled through. Ch...
Just curious.
I’ve finished reading “The Afterlife” by John Updike. I first read it May 1997. Now nearly twenty years later I’m that much closer to the characters in age. I also read it much slower this time I...
I was correct.
Continuing with the Updike. Paused enough yesterday to note: 32 degrees here, 71 degrees there, at 2:42pm. And about the same today. And I was correct in my word choice awhile back. On Southpark...
Here and there.
10:42am- I woke up this morning and laid there for a bit. The clock in my head was bouncing around between “9:38” and “10:20”. I finally gave up waiting and looked at the travel clock- 10:02. Exa...
Gray days.
The squirrels didn’t wake me up this morning. Too cold? I woke up thinking “10:05”. I held my travel clock up (the blue night light button stopped working a long time ago) and eased back the blan...
Just life.

Active?
The past week I was certainly more physically active than I’ve been in months. Monday morning I went out walking for a couple of hours just to get moving. Tuesday I did the same, but Liam Dog wen...
No NoJoMo here!
I finished reading “The Image” by Daniel Boorstin. He published it in 1962 and it is amazing how prophetic it is. Some quotes from the book: “The imposition of power on people’s lives.” (His def...
Electoral College picks worser.
I was on the interwebs until nearly 3am last night. I’d watch one episode of “Shameless” (I’m at the end of season 3 now!) and then switch over to another tab running RT’s live election coverage ...
Worse or Worser?
Well, today is the day. A vote for worse or worser? Works Word redlined worser. I like it. It stays. I took a few days to read two new novels and got severely behind on my bookmarks here on prose...
