Nothing much. in A small but passable life.
Email from the library telling me two novels on my list had arrived. I went and checked them out. I’m halfway through a non-fiction heavy on economics. I thought I deserved a break. I read the fi...
One failed delivery. in A small but passable life.
I will bear with the madness of the jumping erratic cursor and scribble a short entry. The new frig was almost delivered on the 27th of July. Home Depot uses a third party delivery company who w...
Monsoon. in A small but passable life.
I’ve finished reading the nearly 900 page novel “4321” by Paul Auster. It had taken me nearly a month. I’d taken a two-day break in the middle of it to read Noam Chomsky’s “Requiem for the Americ...
Out and about at 108 degrees. in A small but passable life.
I told Mom when I came in that I was heading out at 9am this morning. She said the Price Is Right comes on at nine. I said you can stay home and watch it. Not quite an hour later when I went back...
Is this news? in A small but passable life.

Restoring serenity. in A small but passable life.
At 3pm today the temperature was 116 breaking an all time high for the day set back in 1905. I believe that is the 5th or 6th daily record broken since I’ve arrived, stupidly, for the summer. Now...
Please! in A small but passable life.
Okay, here’s the deal. With Mom’s permission we killed her Verizon contract and bricked her Samsung Galaxy 4 smartphone over a year ago. She was pissed that the bill kept going up and it was even...
Try it again? in A small but passable life.
“He is undoubtedly an idiot, but do not underestimate how good he is at that.” -Naomi Klein The sad thing is that I don’t have to say who that quote references. It’s been nearly a month since I...
Onlineus Interruptus. in A small but passable life.
They are called Arizona rooms. When Mom and Dad first bought this lot in the RV park there was nothing but a concrete slab here on the lot. They parked their motorhome next to the slab. Dad neede...
Adding green. in A small but passable life.
The republicans made fun of Obama bowing down to the aristocracy/dictator/assholes of Saudi Arabia forgetting how baby Bush knelt and kissed the hand of said asshole. And so of course, Trump did ...
Been busy. in A small but passable life.
Trump is just something nasty that America has vomited up. Just saying. The list of projects I had planned on doing here while I was away for 360 days is slowly being whittled down. Yesterday Mo...
Two firsts! in A small but passable life.
Last week, I think it was Friday, the temperature was a record breaking 108 degrees. The last few days were unusually cool, including a sixty-something degree day. We’ll be back to nearly normal ...
Mission #5623 in A small but passable life.
Drama on PB. Caused by an asshole, like always. Let’s hope karma bites hard. Mom’s birthday dinner went well. I hadn’t realized it until we were seated that a year ago Mom and I had went to the v...
Sitting right here, again. in A small but passable life.
At 12:19pm today it was 94 degrees here and 49 degrees back home. I had another good nights sleep last night. I slept with the windows open again. I went through all the financial stuff with Mom...
Exit 198 in A small but passable life.
I did manage to finish “The Eleven Million Mile High Dancer” by Carol De Chellis Hill (a re-read) before I left. That’s twelve books for the year so far. The flight West went off without a hitch....
Two hours to go. in A small but passable life.
3pm. Two more hours until my ride to the airport. Everything is packed away. The check-in bag ended up weighing 36 point something pounds. The scale I used is a digital scale so hopefully it is a...
Not me. in A small but passable life.
It’s just not funny anymore. It’s just pathetic. Pathetic and sad. And a bit disgusting. MSM of course loves it for the revenue stream. I’m satisfied in the fact that no matter what happens I can...
Still too much! in A small but passable life.
Daughter and I got out and about Tuesday. We went to Lowe’s where I bought a five foot piece of 1½” Schedule 40 plastic pipe and two caps. That will complete a project I’ve meant to do for years....
I think not. in A small but passable life.
Saturday the high temp here was 46 degrees. Today it is above 80 degrees. I’m making progress with the sorting and packing. I zipped up the big check-in suitcase and dragged it downstairs to put...
One more week. in A small but passable life.
It seems as if the weather is mocking me, knowing that a week from tomorrow I may not experience this brand of weather for a long time. It has been cool, overcast, rainy, and thunder storming for...
Annoyingly so. in A small but passable life.
Mom called a week or so ago. And of course she told a tale that was weeks old. She had fallen, again, but decided she was fine. Then later, weeks later, she was hurting and decided to call an amb...
Too much. in A small but passable life.
Honestly, I need to stay away from the news sites on the interwebs. A small town of about 8000 folks in Wisconsin. A 65 year old man calls 911 for medical assistance. The pigs get there before t...
Strange times. in A small but passable life.
How about that whole United Airlines thing? Crazy, eh? I’m still wondering how the terrorists got past the TSA. They were dressed like terrorists and were even openly displaying weapons. But yet ...
