They say the International Space Station will fall from orbit soon. I know all the stories of how there are thousands of satellites falling out of the sky and how they burn up and do not make it to Earth. But what if?… Good news. People are actually starting to go back to work inContinue reading “Scary”

Feels Like
I still don’t get it. I turn on the weather and the map of the US shows two numbers on the mostly blue outline of the country. The weatherman points and offers “It is 20 degrees in Minneapolis, but it feels like it is 5 degrees.” What the hell is that? First of all, ifContinue reading “Feels Like”
Q is for Quandary
Which is where I am on several issues. Like watching the Middle East meltdown and laughing as that rascally rascal Putin keeps on pulling Jo-Jo’s strings while China outright threatens what will amount to Global Thermonuclear War. Sound familiar? It is the game that Matthew Broderick played against the WOPR computer in War Games. ExceptContinue reading “Q is for Quandary”
Afterthoughts
I think I have made it abundantly clear where I stand on politics. I don’t. I don’t give a damn about anything so fervently that it dictates my course of action, unless you count protecting your family. When I unavoidably see a few stories, they seem to be focused on what a shitty job Jo-JoContinue reading “Afterthoughts”
Hanging Out
Pretty lazy day but everybody seems to be in a hurry to me. I guess because, ever since I retired, I have no time constraints, so I am not in a hurry anymore…forever. It’s official: All the Christmas decorations, inside and out, are packed away for next year, but my wonderful soulmate has acquiesced toContinue reading “Hanging Out”
Starting Anew
I lay down some words which will be included in the new song I am putting together, and I am having a blast with my Oculus II except I am now officially done with the rollercoaster app. Stomach-churning. The song is called Without You and the words I have assembled in this, the embryonic processContinue reading “Starting Anew”
Letting Go
I don’t care what anybody says, the door was big enough for Rose to balance herself and let Jack get on, saving his life, but ruining a great movie, n’est-ce pas? What happened to “I won’t let go Jack?” Letting go can reference acceptance of a loss or just letting it all hang out. HowContinue reading “Letting Go”
Snow
It is not yet arrived here in southern Ohio, but I’m thinking next month. I’m in no hurry. It can wait. The contractor has his crew working on our covered porch and I think Karen said one of the guys was talking about working on Christmas Day. I think I talked him out of it.Continue reading “Snow”
Bats and Cats
I am not a big fan of bats. Disease-carrying rodents that I have encountered mainly in caves I have visited, and I recall seeing several in Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. Oh yeah, I was swarmed by bats on an Alabama golf course once. Freaky. Romancing the bat. The Batman movies never approximated the romance associatedContinue reading “Bats and Cats”
TV Ads
I am watching a television ad and it is for a vacuum that claims to clean AND pick up invisible dust. Shite, pure and simple. This is a door-to-door salesman’s dream. He will no longer have to soil the carpet to prove anything (not soil the carpet himself, no). One of the tricks in thatContinue reading “TV Ads”
