My HEB Adventure

I thought I wrote about this. Damn, I'm old. I go to doctors a lot. It's what happens after cancer therapy. You collect doctors. In this case a cardiologist. Not that anything's wrong. What sent me there in the first place was bullshit. It was a seperated rotator cuff and a hangover that I mistook … Continue reading My HEB Adventure →

Well, that was exciting.

I do my best thinking while walking the dogs in the morning. This morning, I was thinking about how when I leave to walk the dogs, the people that are speeding down my street are the old timers, heading God-knows-where. They are ahead of the soccer moms as the most hazardous thing to pedestrians in … Continue reading Well, that was exciting. →

Free at last, Free at last…

Well maybe not "at last" I knew I had jury duty this week, but forgot what day it was. Turns out, it was today. I was dreading it.

How long, Lord, must I call for help,but you do not listen?Or cry out to you, “Violence!”but you do not save? Why do you make me look at injustice?Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?Destruction and violence are before me;there is strife, and conflict abounds. Therefore the law is paralyzed,and justice never prevails.The wicked hem in the … Continue reading How Long, O Lord? →

Survival Gardening

It’s all BS, Part 2

I listen to talk radio every morning as I feed myself and the dogs. Usually, it's Mark Davis on 660AM. I like the banter between him and Mike Gallagher every morning. This morning they had a converstation about how republicans are in trouble over the Dobbs decision. Supposedly Gallagher had 'conservative women' callers from Texas … Continue reading It’s all BS, Part 2 →

We had nearly two months of 100+ heat. Then, rain and lower temps. It's supposed to rain … Continue reading It’s Raining →
