They are all beautiful, but today was hell-good on the weather front. 72 degrees. Sunny. Where was I? The golf course is where I should have been, but I was laid up again with my damn stump and the sore that is posing a problem with me walking. Heading in to my prosthetist tomorrow. HopefullyContinue reading “Beautiful Day”

Hanging Tough
It took Adolf Hitler twenty-six days to force Poland to surrender. It has been twenty-one and counting for Ukraine and BabyHead Putin. When I grow up, I want to be a rich Ukrainian. Living in America. I think there are too many TV and movie options thanks to all the streaming services who not onlyContinue reading “Hanging Tough”
Longshot
I admit it. I am a sucker for the occasional wager on an underdog or any bet with a high return. For example, in all the crap games I’ve played. Invariably, the formula repeated itself every time I was rolling dice: I start with a medium-sized (100.00) bet on the Pass Line. If it hits,Continue reading “Longshot”
Scaredy Cat
Don’t be afraid to be afraid. People can talk shit all they want, but everyone fears something. My fears are way unreasonable and usually out of the realm of possibility, at least that’s what Karen says. I am afraid of being eaten alive by a wild animal. I lived a couple years in the mountainsContinue reading “Scaredy Cat”
Front Runners
Bandwagon jumpers, johhny-come-latelys, whatever you want to call them, I don’t like them. There is something to be said about staying loyal to well, anything, rather than place your allegiance based on a team’s winning percentage at the moment. I actually switched my fanship long ago from the geographically convenient Los Angeles Rams to differentContinue reading “Front Runners”
Saving
If I have a goal, such as buying real estate or an expensive trip, or something tangible, I can save with no problems. Now. In my youth, as soon as I had a penny in my pocket, it was gone. I helped keep theAmerican economy flowing. My money wasn’t in my pockets, or my wallet,Continue reading “Saving”
No Picnic
As promised, my short story Mexican Vacation: Mexican Vacation Dave lay perfectly still on the cool adobe floor. He kept his eyes shut and listened to the infected rats shuffling across his cell. He could hear the screams of the former occupants of this six-by-six hell hole. In Spanish or English, it didn’t matter;Continue reading “No Picnic”
Does a Bear S*** in the Woods?
I think bears are so cool… From a distance. One of the scariest things I have ever seen on the internet was a story showing (supposedly) the last sight a person had who died right after. It showed an angry (of course it would have to be angry wouldn’t it dumbass?) bear ripping open aContinue reading “Does a Bear S*** in the Woods?”
I Really Hope There is a Hell
If for no other reason than to have a bad place to end up for breaking man and God’s Law so those of us who do play by the rules won’t feel cheated. My list is succinct and 100% accurate. And if you haven’t figured it out yet, I am totally full of shit. ButContinue reading “I Really Hope There is a Hell”
I Was Just Talking About Payouts
…and the ho-hum nature of the cost of mankind’s destruction of our planet. Just another expense to be amortized. Who sets the number for Earth’s useful life? How about those whacky Dallas Cowboys and their antics in the women’s locker room for the cheerleaders? Payout. 2.4 million. That’s not even high school stuff, hell, IContinue reading “I Was Just Talking About Payouts”
