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....
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....
