This morning we awoke to dark clouds & pouring rain. My mood & interest in dealing with the rest of the world never recovered. This will probably be a short one. Usually after I get up, let the dog out, & have breakfast, I spend the morning going over the news & seeing what's interesting. … Continue reading Monday, August 26, 2019 →

Well, this explains everything.

Like George W. Bush & the Commisioner of Major League Baseball, this explains everything.

Trump suggests ‘nuking hurricanes’ to stop them hitting America – report | Donald Trump | The Guardian

Y'all, he's talking about nuking hurricanes. Who'll be the first congressmen to support it, the first pundit to explain why it's good, actually, & how long before it becomes another "joke" by our wacky president, you reckon? — Read on amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/aug/26/donald-trump-suggests-nuking-hurricanes-to-stop-them-hitting-america-report

It's raining again. Not quite the gully washer of yesterday's pour, but it's coming down fairly decently. A lot of wind, a lot of that rolling, rumbling thunder. Sounds angrier than it (probably) is, though Tropical Storm Dorian is heading to the Gulf as New Orleans prepares for another brutal rain. I miss New Orleans like … Continue reading Sunday, August 25, 2019 →

In the wake of El Paso and Dayton, the list of averted mass shootings keeps growing — ThinkProgress

It's been bucketing rain all afternoon but the storm's moved away. All we hear is the distant roll of thunder, like the last mumbled complaints of a bad argument. It's been hot & humid for the past couple weeks without a cloud in the sky. A storm is brewing in the Gulf, hurricane season has been … Continue reading Saturday, August 24, 2019 →

It occurred to me today that I start these things with a quick rundown of my mood & my overall physical health. I think I sort of prefer that because that is the least interesting part of any of this. Anyhow. It's actually been a decent day. I woke up with a very unhappy stomach, … Continue reading Friday, August 23, 2019 →

Okay, let's quit messing around & get started. The Funk has, more or less, left me. However, I have been moving today, so the Sleep hasn't tried me, & have had multiple communes with the front yard. I'm going to have to do something about that. With is too much of a hassle & without … Continue reading Thursday, August 22, 2019 →

So it has been an interesting day, hasn't it? The President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, showed his ass to the entire world all day long. He just did, don't argue with me. I don't care if you thought it was the most masterful stroke of politics since Kenndey curb-stomped Nixon or Reagan made Mondale look … Continue reading Wednesday, August 21, 2019 →

The Funk has its claws deep in me. I am down & discouraged with things in general. I can't help but wonder if this is worth the effort, if there's anyone paying attention, if I want anyone to pay attention. Maybe I just should find another kitchen hereabouts & consider that's it. The Funk plus the … Continue reading Tuesday, August 20, 2019 →
