Better frame of mind today, despite the grayness of the sky. It's cool and there's a bite in the air. We've got another storm, Nestor, brewing in the Gulf and rain's a-coming. Batten down, y'all. The weekend's starting up, but that doesn't mean much to me. Hasn't meant much in years, frankly, and the only thing … Continue reading Friday, October 18, 2019

If nothing else, this is the world we're letting happen. Does it really do any good to pretend we have nothing to do with it? National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255 via More youth dying by suicide and homicide, CDC reports

For the record, I never could make it through Hillbilly Elegy. It smacked of whiny bullshit, much like a country club version of Jim Goad's Redneck Manifesto. Apparently that was a good call. via Lefsetz Letter » Blog Archive » Hillbilly Elegy

I pretty much checked out today. Just couldn't deal with the rest of the world. All I've done interesting I talked about yesterday and, right now, I don't care to dig into the News. So... yeah. I'm not even sure where to start or how to. When I "check out", my brain simply does not work. I have … Continue reading Thursday, October 17, 2019

Hey, working without a net here. Let's see how it goes. Boy, I'm in a foul mood. I'm not sure why. Woke up sour and seeing all the dingbat opinions on last night's Democratic debate. I didn't watch - I never watch - but it seemed fairly ranch-standard fare for what was the fourth televised debate … Continue reading Wednesday, October 16, 2019
Grouchy bastard.
My therapist lets me go on my little rants, and at the end she’ll say, “What you hate is stupidity.” And I’ll say, “No. What I hate is cruelty and greed and mendacity.

It is Mose Allison weather today. Rainy and grey, but not too hard nor too threatening. Cool but with no bite. Just the right amount of humidity. Melancholy. Maybe light some off to the west. Play Mose Allison's Backwoods Suite and tell me I'm wrong. Finished off the Mendocino, which sort of makes it just perfect. Yes, I am playing Mose … Continue reading Tuesday, October 15, 2019

I'm wired & inspired, so let's get this started. Gonzo ahead, so forewarned is forearmed. This will be one of the last Gonzo rides we'll get for quite a while. It was a well-filled bowl of Mendocino but I only took a short commune. I think I got myself a wee bit miserable last time. … Continue reading Monday, October 14, 2019
