Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

    I feel really bad for the cat, Sneezles. There’s been this plumber, Julio, here since about 9:30. He’s doing his job with the drills and banging and whatever to replace some pipes in the wall.    That’s all well and good, but he’s been doing so for two and a half hours.    I imagine… Read more

  • The Roofers Three

    Much like Scrooge, I’ve been visited by three spirits. – I refer to the roof salesmen as spirits because I’m not sure how I’m going to conjure the money, but whatevers, right?   It needs to be done. The first guy was named Jared from Company A. – Out of the three, he was the best… Read more

    I’m going a little crazy today. Because of the rain, I didn’t leave the property yesterday.   Today, the cold front is passing by.   There’s still a chance of rain, but I’m going to head out here in a little bit.  I just can’t help it. I need a project to work on. Writing, what I… Read more

  • News and other things

    Just some random thoughts. A lot of people are pushing for electric cars or, at least hybrid cars. Okay.   That’s fine.  Cool, but the main gist is to buy a new car and get into debt. I’m not sure how that helps the average person. The last I checked, cars are expensive.   And, while the… Read more

    Hard start this morning. There’s stuff I want to do this morning, but I can’t seem to get the body to move.    Lack of self-discipline, I guess.  I need to get better. Yesterday evening, our time together was spoiled by the roof thing.  Or, my precisely, the money thing.   I can really understand how… Read more

    Got the first quote for a new roof. I think it sounds great. They’re going to add ventilation to the roof so the heater (northern term) or air handler) to you southerners) will get some air so it won’t sweat so much. In this house, sweaty air handler = air conditioner doesn’t work. That could… Read more

  • 11/9

    About this time tomorrow morning…. tomorrow morning as in AM…  I will be on a flight headed to Tampa.  Or, at least, sitting on a plan that’s on its way to Tampa. In a way, this is a good thing. Although Sunday is supposed to be nice and in the 50s somewhere, it’s dropping into… Read more

  • Review: The Walking Dead – Season 9

    It’s been a while since I’ve written anything about movies and television, so here it goes. The Walking Dead is probably one of my all-time favorite soap-not-soap operas. Since it’s been around for nine seasons, I’m going to avoid the backstory as much as possible.  And, yes, I know it came out over a year… Read more

  • Environmental hypocrites

    I’m just going to do some venting. I fully confess that I don’t know all of the facts and am just jumping to conclusions and connections without much research.   But, I think if someone really cares, it’s worth looking into. A lot of BS has been getting under my nails a little so, in no… Read more

  • Returning to Florida – yet again

    Next Sunday, November 10th, I will be returning to Florida yet again for three months.   Well, four months.   I won’t be back on home soil until the last day of March.  Instead, I’ll have sand underneath my feet that don’t grow vegetables. But, at the same time, I’m certainly dodging the snow and temperatures dropping… Read more
