Yesterday's entry.
Let’s start with the weather. It has been the usual crazy end of November weather. Saturday topped out at 72 degrees. Saturday night was a night in the mid-sixties. Yesterday it was in the sixtie...
Thanksgiving.
It’s been a week since I’ve posted an entry. And that means I have no idea what I’ve done in the past week. I’ll just scribble what I remember. Jassy and I hit a few more thrift shops and flea ma...
A walk in the rain.
Last night was a pleasant warmer night than nights past. It was 45 degrees at midnight. I pulled the goosedown bag off the bed and crawled into my summer bag and my three blankets in nothing but ...
Countdown.
The upcoming trip started as a curiosity. I had priced bus tickets. Close to three hundred dollars and nearly two days on a bus. Outrageous. Even though I have enjoyed several cross country bus t...
Escape?
We got the Thanksgiving dinner shopping done. It was a bizarre shopping trip. We didn’t have a list. We got things we just ran into that were on sale. We decided to wait on some items. It felt al...
Finally Winter?
I walked to the library a couple of days ago and found the third book in the trilogy. I also have the new King, Koontz, and Grisham on my waiting list. There was a really good review of King’s ne...
Cold around the corner!
Let’s get the weather news out of the way first. Friday night was a fifty degree night. Saturday was a thirty-five degree night. Last night was a sixty degree night. Today it was 74 degrees outsi...
A good day.
Another glorious day! Not too cold last night. 42 degrees at midnight in the van. I woke up at 10:30am. 51 degrees in the van. I wondered if my atomic clock had reset coming off daylight savings ...
First cold night.
This is the time of the year with the awesome temperature swings. By mid-afternoon with the temps in the mid-fifties outside the van, sitting in the sun will warm up the van to above eighty degre...
Two walks this week.
A few days ago I talked Jassy into going along on my walk. I didn’t have to convince Liam. He’s always ready to go. It was a beautiful day. Warm. Not a cloud in the sky. Not a bit of breeze. Bea...
Shake it off.
I finished reading “The Sixth Extinction” by Elizabeth Kolbert today. I haven’t read much in anthropology in the last several years so a couple of new facts were revealed to me in this book. The ...
A new pee bottle.
I finished reading “The White Plague” by Frank Herbert Tuesday morning. I packed up and spent the rest of the day over at the student union. Yesterday Jassy, Liam and I went for a nice long walk....
Clarification.
The best way to protest is with your wallet. Quit buying, quit working, quit paying taxes, whatever, quit being a production unit to the oligarchs. The chart below is the explanation for the abov...
Midnight to noon.
The best way to protest is with your wallet. Quit buying, quit working, quit paying taxes, whatever, quit being a production unit to the oligarchs. Well hell, I’m doing my part to protest that’s ...
Liquid squid?
Ah . . . but we seem to be wandering here . . . Liquid squid. Think about that for a minute or so. Anyway. Life goes on. Jassy received a package from her Grandmother today. A cookbook and prin...
Accomplishment, eh?
Done. Done. Done! I finished the last book of the “Wheel of Time” series by Robert Jordan today. Fourteen books. Well, fifteen counting the intro volume. Over one million words. I still need to l...
Weather change!!!
September 4 I walk. I walk everywhere I need to go. I don’t need to go to many places. I find stuff when I’m out walking. I found a really nice kitchen trashcan. It has one of those step-on thing...
Visit is over.
Where was I? Oh yeah, Oklahoma City. A four hour drive to eat at Cracker Barrel. Mom and Sis and Sis's granddaughter Sadie met us there. They had dropped off the grandson Cooper at his grandparen...
Road trip?
Last night I received an email from my sis-in-law. I guess Mom had changed plans for the third time and has decided to come over for a visit. Tonight was my oldest niece's wedding in Amarillo. An...
Something new.
I've never typed an entry into this box before. I copy and paste from Word on my laptop. The reason I am now is because I'm at the library on a library public computer. Typing on a clackety old k...
Just checking in.
I guess I've been neglecting to write, both here and my handwritten journal. Lack of motivation? Lack of anything to write about? Perhaps a little of both. Things are going well. I am so impres...
Asshat!
Liam is an ass. I don't know what time Clayton left to be to work at 11pm for an overnight shift, but I was here at 10:45pm and I could hear the little asshole barking and howling as I walked up ...
Communication restored.
Mom sent me a phone card and a check for $40. I'll use the phone card and put the check in the bank as I have no use for money right at the moment. I had $3.98 left on the EBT card. We went to t...
Semi-roommate.
They are used to having roommates. I'm not used to being a semi-roommate. But so far it is working. It was a warm night last night in the van. This morning I was up fairly early and reading whe...
A request.
Due to popular demand here's a picture request fulfilled: Yeah, Liam looks cute, but sometimes he can be a pain in the ass. And yep, Jassy just keeps on getting more beautiful. The unusual l...
