It's been cooler in the morning lately. Aria spends all morning watching and chasing squirrels.
No Kings, My Ass
Saturday is the 'big' no kings protest, where the assorted fruits, nuts, berries, and professional malcontents will let their TDS all hang out, hooting and hollering nitwittery. Honestly, I forgot about this. It's not a thing around here. As a matter of fact, when I sized up the map, the closest one to me would … Continue reading No Kings, My Ass
Life Finds a Way
Saw this whilst walking the dogs. Cracked me up: The prettier bunch of flowers busted through the crack in the curb, and is growing in a pile of curb detris. Wish my plants were so motivated.
Moving Slow
Monday was a holiday. A badly needed one for me. You see, I'm rarely home on the weekends. So if I can't do housework in the evenings I have free, it doesn't get done. The last few weeks, I've been busy every weeknight. So the house was a mess. So was the monster truck. So … Continue reading Moving Slow

The design software is going to set me back another Benjamin. At least it's a perpetual license. I'll look and see if there's Linux freeware. I'm sure there is. I have … Continue reading As if…

Jet with my oldest when we were in Broken Bow OK. She took him out for a walk and came back with one of the funniest lines I've heard: "Hey! You didn't tell me he takes big ol' man shits!"
The CDL Dilemma
First, there was the Indian fool that did an illegal u-turn, killing three. Dude didn't speak English, and never should've been issued a Commercial Driver License (CDL) whatsoever. Then, in Oklahoma they arrested 130 drivers in conjunction with ICE, and wound up with this gem: He should have used the proper "illegal alien," but otherwise, … Continue reading The CDL Dilemma
