I don't know how the weather is wherever y'all are, but today's one of those days that almost makes rural Northeast Mississippi worth the effort, even if it's just in knowing the summer's going to be a booger. Even now, it's going be nasty before the week's out. But for the nonce, let's all just … Continue reading Sunday, February 2, 2020

Today's the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year and the official beginning of winter, it's been pouring down rain all day, and for the fourth day hand running I don't really have anything in particular to write about. Because it's raining, Otis can't go outside and has already spent all day napping, so … Continue reading Sunday, December 22, 2019

Man, am I glad this week's done and gone. I think we can all agree that it was been an active one. Honestly, I'm not going to waste y'all's time today. Main reason is I did a little photo essay-type thing over at the Tumblr site. It's all about my varmint buddies and how they're getting … Continue reading Friday, November 22, 2019

Well. It's been a weird day and one that I was unwilling to participate in. However, interesting things happened so let's not dally. Okay, let's dally a bit, because, frankly, I actually didn't pay attention all day and need to put it off some. I don't know why, but today was one of my zombie … Continue reading Tuesday, November 19, 2019

Well, shoot. Okay, see, I have fairly severe sleep apnea on top of everything else. It's part of the reason I used to zombie through my old job apart from, you know, complete misery. These days, though, my hours are my own. However, I try to maintain a regularish schedule, if for no other than … Continue reading Monday, November 4, 2019

Well, the dad-blamed kitten is still on the Hill. Otis has been barking at him all day, and as soon as Otis leaves the yard, the kitten walks right in. That means I've had to pull Otis off him at least once and the day's not done yet. I'm fairly convinced now that instead of … Continue reading Sunday, November 3, 2019

Back when I still did the Facebook thing, I'd say I felt bad for anyone who wasn't in New Orleans during a beautiful Fall day like today. Well, I don't know if I pity anyone who's not in Mississippi on a today like today, but it was particularly nice. Cool but without the bite we've … Continue reading Saturday, November 2, 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 Sleep got me today & got me good. Slept in after letting Otis out, was barely conscious for maybe hour, & then slept until three. Woke up, zombied through the gym, supper & a commune with the front yard. I feel anxious & ill at ease, afraid to make decisions or make any sort … Continue reading Wednesday, August 14th, 2019
