Alrighty, so, here’s what I learned this week, first of which is that I have come to love this new colour, called Ultramarine in this chalky finish and that it adds this rich velvety warmth, a depth, in contrast to the burnt orange walls. Next, I learned a little about trade deficits, how exciting, eh? Came across this video that helped to explain a few … Continue reading The Ol’Dawg Needs New Tricks
The one and only time I read it was in high school, grade 11 English class. I guess it is one of THE books, part of the English Canon Of Literature, there with Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales’, Steinbeck’s ‘Of Mice And Men’, and doesn’t just stand the test of time, it becomes more haunting and prophetic as each decade comes and goes since it was published … Continue reading (▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿) Let’s Be Slow Learners
that breeze passed thru the leaves one to another telling stories for the rain washed away yesterday, gone with that wind, again {{ oOooomMm }} Continue reading as the wind thru trees
Back when the words on everyone’s lips was no hope in hell and Dad was up, the year is 2015 and it is fall as I remember the leaves where changing. “I’d vote for him… if I could”, and you want to see my shocked face, you’d a seen it back then, well, if you’d been sitting on the hood of my Dad’s champagne white … Continue reading Allegories Of Greed
What does a good guy look like? What does he do? What does a good guy say? Man, eh, seems like it wasn’t so long ago most could agree, at least marginally. Well, beyond wearing a white hat and all that nonsense, I mean, in all honesty, I may have my pollyanna rose-tinted glasses on, but, wasn’t there more of a consensus on this sort … Continue reading Who Is That Beyond The Curtain?
Maybe it’s all this talk of the liar-in-chief down yonder south, but today I’ve been thinking a lot about Tim, and stuff I hadn’t thought of for so long. Or, maybe it’s just the rotten horrible no good gas pains that had me doubled over earlier, no doubt due to the microwave Shepherds Pie I ate late last night when I should have been in … Continue reading In The Dying Of The Light
The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it. Theodore Roosevelt Just as he said the words, clarified, one should note, his misspoken ones of the previous day, the lights turned out, did you see that? {minute 1:51} Ghosts of the … Continue reading You Spin Me Right Round, Baby, Right Round Like A Record, Baby
Yes, oh, to live in interesting times, eh? Isn’t it fun? Nope, just pick a news station, all-day in your face, and watch away til your head explodes. Sure I partake, although merely in snippets posted online. Try as I might to ignore the diatribe of unbelievable shite that I read, watch, listen to, sometimes as I’m washing the dishes, letting out the dog, … Continue reading The Great Sh!t Disturber Strikes Again, And More Puppies
With these little bundles of cuteness is how I spent an afternoon last week, 5-week old Chihuahua puppies, are they not the heal-all for most of the trials and tribulations of the world? I think so. After yesterday and watching the news vids this morning of that treasonous scoundrel down yonder, I needed a shot of puppy power, thought maybe y’all too may need a … Continue reading Panacea
Sinking in the quicksand of time, these ultra-conservative nutbars would have the whole of the United States back, kicking and screaming if need be, to the good ol’days of their childhoods, when many of those fuddies in Washington grew out of their short pants. Back to the days of yore, while the demon spawns rocked around the clock and women snuck away and died with … Continue reading What We Do Onto Others
One of those that was supposed to be a short walk, but the air, the sunshine, the lure of the woods, drew me, farther and farther, and through to the old apple orchard. Here is what I saw. Continue reading Black Raspberries For Breakfast
To be fair, it wasn’t so much WHAT he said that I disagreed with, rather I’m just so angry that this horrible man-child on the daily making more mountains out of molehills, and here we are even discussing this crap, still. Letting that man manipulate us right in through the back door and onto the front porch. Nope. Nope. Nope. Yesterday out to Dodge to … Continue reading Snowflake vs The Father
