A brave new world? in A small but passable life.
There hasn’t been anything going on around here. It’s been hot and humid. Unusually hot. Liam Dog and I did manage two long walks. One on the 8th to the library to pick up the latest book, “End o...
R.I.P. USA in A small but passable life.
So, that’s where we are? A choice between a rich racist dumbass or a warmongering corporate whore? And just a reminder: 14 POINTS OF FASCISM Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism ...
A mission. in A small but passable life.
Liam Dog and I finally got out for a much needed walk yesterday. It was a short one, but nice. When we returned I got to work on the mower. I couldn’t find the roll of bailing wire so I found an ...
Mr. Handyman. in A small but passable life.
Liam Dog and I managed to get up and moving a lot earlier than usual this morning- 9am! We went downstairs and I put on a pot of coffee and put the pork roast in the crockpot. I did it my sis-in-...
Last day of May. in A small but passable life.
“He (Plato) concludes that as a species of image-maker the sophist belongs to those who deal in semblances. Their forte is in the construction of contradictions which, they freely admit, are inte...
Something, anything? in A small but passable life.
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. in A small but passable life.
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? in A small but passable life.
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. in A small but passable life.
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! in A small but passable life.
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? in A small but passable life.
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. in A small but passable life.
So yeah, nothing new here. Just watching the world spin.
All good stuff. in A small but passable life.
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? in A small but passable life.
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. in A small but passable life.
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. in A small but passable life.
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! in A small but passable life.
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. in A small but passable life.
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? in A small but passable life.
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! in A small but passable life.
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. in A small but passable life.
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 . . . in A small but passable life.
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!!! in A small but passable life.
Done deal. in A small but passable life.
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. in A small but passable life.
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...
