Man sells all to travel 1200 miles to discover the love of his life is actually an AI character. She (it?) was apparently portrayed as as "a wealthy farmer searching for a husband, featuring videos of an idyllic countryside lifestyle and promises of romance, financial security and a comfortable home." DOH! Gotta admit, she's pretty … Continue reading Finding love in bits and bytes
The Morning Bark
Something cool happened at the end of last week. Really cool, literally it dumped from 90s during the day to 60s, with it being 45 at night. That is Texas. Hot, up until it's not. It's like someone turned off the furnace. Every year it happens, and every year it's glorious. The dogs love this. … Continue reading The Morning Bark
A bigger project than I thought
I had high hopes this weekend of clearing out some of the old man hoard pile. My goal is to cut loose the workbench I never use and replace it with shelves. Maybe cut loose the drill press and bandsaw I haven't used in years. I'm getting over that old man "I may need this … Continue reading A bigger project than I thought
Gratuitous Dog Pic
Every now and then I'll look over and realize I'm being studied by Winston. Aria rarely has these looks.
Living in a bubble
I listen to podcasts as I work. Usually Adam Carolla and Joe Rogan, but others. This week, Rogan had Michael Douglas. Looked like it could be a good interview and a break from the eggheads he's had on lately. I can only take so much alien talk. Turns out, it's not great. Old boy nattered … Continue reading Living in a bubble
New Shoes
My dog walking shoes when it's warm are my last pair of Saucony runners. Their light, comfy, and good on the feet. But wearing them ends, like it did the other day, when it gets cool out leaving dew on the grass ever morning. I don't like walking with wet feets, and the water soaking … Continue reading New Shoes
Rebirth
Last weekend I had the pups at the park. It was a stunningly beautiful morning. Crisp, with dew on the grass. Lots of stuff to sniff... The trails smelled of leaves that you smell in the fall. Lots of critters were out and about. Most of the summer, that grass was dead, brown with a … Continue reading Rebirth
Gratuitous Dog Pic
Every time we're walking at the park, we need to play in the creek. Wouldn't be a big deal, but it's under the highway bridge, down a sandy embankment. Aria can take or leave it. Winston pulls like an OCD champion. It's a struggle to pull him away on days when the creek is low … Continue reading Gratuitous Dog Pic
You had one job
That job is that you raise your kids to be the best they can be, better versions of you. You really can only give your kids a few things, among them unwavering love and support and the best education you can afford. Nichole Hannah-Jones is the SideShow Bob haired black woman that conjured up the … Continue reading You had one job
Getting Fit?
Normally this post at the beginning of the month would be a tale of triumph and gains. I've had one of those. I've lost a quite a bit of weight. How? Not eating. I've been sick for over two weeks, just this Monday starting to feel halfway decent. I go forever with not so much … Continue reading Getting Fit?
