All morning it was sunny, and the humidity was so high it felt like I was breathing through a wet quilt. Then around noon it got so dark it could easily have been midnight, the thunder started rumbling in the…
My niece has been working for a cat rescue operation for a while now, and I really like how it works. Either you can borrow traps from them, or they will come out to get whatever feral cats happen to…
Or Black Cow Day, whichever you prefer. When I was a kid, we used to go to this local place for special occasions (mostly birthdays) because they served the best root beer float on the face of the planet. Or,…
This one seems almost quaint now that internet shopping is as commonplace as the neighbourhood grocer once was. Gone are the days when the arrival of the new Sears & Roebuck catalogue was cause for celebration. But still, I receive…
There is really good poetry in the world, and there is really bad poetry. I have become convinced as an adult that 99% of what we were forced to read, interpret, and copy in school was crap. Which means that…

I usually try to keep these somewhat lighthearted, but last night’s tragedy overrules that today, sorry. By now you’ve probably seen news coverage of the collapse of the stage roof at the Indianapolis state fair. Five lives lost so far,…
You are aware that only those who are left-handed are in their rights minds, yes? I thought so. Technically, I cannot claim to be left-handed as I am actually ambidextrous, but I primarily write with my left hand so it…
Apparently, we celebrated this one last year, according to the URL. You’ll have that…there really are only so many obscure holidays available and I’ve been doing this for quite some time. S’ok, though. Records should be celebrated. At the local…
Sorry this is so late, but I couldn’t for the life of me think of a title for a post this morning, and then I had to work. So I left an appeal on my Facebook page to see if…
