There is a sun in the sky, reasonably fresh air and 95% of the folks passing by are ordinary, harmless folk. Some of the passers-by are leaders and heads of state/industry. Unfortunately, those folk are oftimes not so harmless. There are a lot of different folks and It is an ordinary day here in ourContinue reading “September 23, 2020”

Well, glory be! Folks, since I got my ballot in the mail, a great cloud of peace has settled over and smothered my sleeplessness. Ahhhhhh. I have had several days in a row of full nights. I am rested. Now I can get back to my ruminations about the neighbours and the town I liveContinue reading “September 22, 2020”

This is a backwards day. When a series of things go wrong, just a little or don’t follow the plan, just slightly… it is a ‘backwards’ day. Not a day to curse. Not a day to slap. Not a day to hibernate. It is just a ‘backwards’ day. I tried to get my ballot inContinue reading “September 21, 2020”

I have finished filling in the ovals completely on my presidential election ballot and it will go into tomorrow’s first round of outbound mail. It must be received before 8 P.M. on November 3rd at the Clerk’s office in Redford Township, Michigan. Getting it off tomorrow gives me about six weeks and I hope enoughContinue reading “September 19, 2020”

We have a word in English to describe the situation, it is ‘dilemma’. My beautiful actor, painter, singer/songwriter and artist friends are without work. A vicious infection is spreading about and has closed down the opera house, the gallery, the movie theatre. A rapacious on-line attitude by the likes of YouTube and Google has usurpedContinue reading “September 18, 2020”

Marvelous Mother Nature. Today is a definite fall day, air cool, a bit of breeze, a bit of sunny and clear sky that is only slightly forest fire hazy. The day is so pleasant, you can hardly hear Donald Trump lie. The last little flying creatures are buzzing around every open soda on the patioContinue reading “September 16, 2020”

Oh, my goodness. Msr. Trump is now discussing out loud how he is ‘owed’ a third term? His buddy Roger Stone is advising him to declare martial law and take over the government if he loses? I wish I could laugh. I wish I could laugh. The impossible is happening, the U.S. is going downContinue reading “September 14, 2020”

I started my day of writing with an odd observation: breasts are trouble. Breasts are trouble for everyone, not the least are they trouble for the women who have to wear them. While on my way to the office, I noticed a woman marching down the sidewalk. One of her breasts was a bit askewContinue reading “September 12, 2020”

I tried. I did , I did. I am weak and I am hooked on Facebook. Perhaps, I can return to the on-line world very carefully. No scrolling anymore. Just an occasional peek? Hahahahahahahah. Best of luck with that. I am so intensely worried about our end of days that I can’t look away. ItContinue reading “September 11, 2020”

I start each day with a variation on the following statement: “One of the worst things about getting older is…”. After that opening, I just fill in the blank. I am boring myself with it. On we go. When my mother was in her forties, she complained about the arthritis and I didn’t believe her.Continue reading “September 7, 2020”
