It was time for Jet's yearly appointment with the vet. $400 vaporized in an hour. That said, I love the vet we use. He's a Shepherd expert, so he's a wealth of information on how to deal with Shepherd mixes like Jet and Aria. He's also pretty tuned into the pet care industry, from food … Continue reading Jethro goes to the Vet
The World Needs More Pauli Walnuts
Hah..haha.... https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/robert-iler-harassed-sopranos-set-tony-sirico-1235316129/ “When all the molesting stuff gets talked about… people always say to me, ‘Did anything happen like that on your set?'” Iler said. “And I’m like, you think Tony Sirico was standing around, if there were people eyeing me the wrong way, like ‘Oh, Rob looks really cute today,’ Tony Sirico is just … Continue reading The World Needs More Pauli Walnuts
More Music
https://youtu.be/N-aK6JnyFmk If I didn't tell her, I could leave today... Think about modern music. How vapid it is. Dude here wrote a song because things were shitty and he went for a walk in the freezing cold to get his head straight. Came back and wrote a blockbuster. How many today could take an ordinary … Continue reading More Music
A Binary Choice
A long time ago in a city far away, I used to work on call center gear. I'd travel around with a co-worker, Dan the Call Center Man. Dan was a classic liberal. He was an interesting dude, and we became friends, even though he was of the left and me on the right. We'd … Continue reading A Binary Choice
Welcome to Texas
It's summer complaining season around here these days. Mostly from the locusts. It's hot! Is it? This is what North Texas looks like in the summer. It's not even that remarkable. Not as hot and dry as it's been in the past, and certainly not as mild as it's been the last few years. I'd … Continue reading Welcome to Texas
Jasper Gets a New Home
It's been a week since I brought Jasper to his new home. I've had some texts back and forth with the new owners, as they learn about Jasper and he learns about them. Pretty typical stuff. When you think about it, he hasn't been away from us or the other dogs for any time in … Continue reading Jasper Gets a New Home
Diminishing Returns
I've been off this week. Had big plans. Plans that had to change. Why? Behold: Not even the hottest part of the day either. The heat is so bad, it's nauseating. I'm strugging to keep my plants alive. Although the sunflowers and wildflowers I planted seem to bo doing OK. Even the persimmon tree seems … Continue reading Diminishing Returns
High Hopes
I've been off this week. You see, the company I work for has a policy that all vacation has to be scheduled all at one time. They want it booked, so it's burned whether you use it or not. I have 20 days or more. So, about every quarter I scheduled a week off. All … Continue reading High Hopes
You don’t see that every day
We had a quiet Independence Day around here. I expected Herself to drive back from her trip on the 4th, but she posted a day earlier. So we had a whole day before she'd have to head back to work. I myself am off this week. Neither of us are big on huge loud parties. … Continue reading You don’t see that every day
Been a Long, Long Time
Back in the day, back when my kids were way young, I'd go shooting with my friends nearly every weekend. Typically we'd go to the shooting center at Manassas Battlefield park, because it was fairly close and super cheap. We'd shoot skeet and sporting clays. We'd also go to other sites. There was one on … Continue reading Been a Long, Long Time
