Yesterday, we had another school shooting. And yesterday, yet again, a lot of people blamed video games, guns, bullying, ect ect ect. At this point, I really don’t think anything is really be done. Suggestions to stop or deter it has been teachers carrying guns, which I’m oddly for. Having worked in a public school… Read more

There’s a lot I want to write about, but I don’t feel like writing about anything. Does that make any since? But, if I’m ever going to squeak my books, I really should actually start writing – anything from the start. It’s easy to say you’re a writer, but hard to be one. So.. um…… Read more

This year has been particularly difficult on my mom. She’s homebound, probably in some pain, and can’t do yard work or do a garden, which some of her favorite things in the world.

Some three weeks ago, it finally happened. My beloved Mustang was sent to the scrap heap and we finally, sort of, acquired a new car. It’s a lease, actually, but a welcome one. My mustang’s convertible top didn’t move, the windows didn’t go down, and the air conditioner was shot. She shimmed when she went… Read more

Some observations and lessons learned. – Observation one – – All of the people who feel free to continually expose their poor toes to the year-round elements all own dogs. These are big dogs. Some are small. Some are friend and others are really kind of ugly. But they’re all dogs and – none –… Read more

I declare today to be no socks day. In my Flordian observations, I’ve noticed a distinct lack of socks. This is the land of year-long flip-flops and sandals. Socks are expressly forbidden. They’re not found on the feet of those who were the painful to look at high heel sandals of those who visit the… Read more
