and I had no nice fire. So I walk out the door (without the clothes I wanted to donate to the veterans) and get hopeful. There's no rain but it's grey. I'm about 20 miles out of town when a blinding ice storm hits. It is so bad even 18 wheelers are doing 45 mph ( Read more... )

It was in the 60s when I left for Jackson. As I was at the coffee shop, the patio umbrellas started whirling like tops. The wind had suddenly hit 35-40 mph. By the time I left the coffee shop and did some grocery shopping the temperature had dropped 20 degrees ( Read more... )

I had planned to do a Point Pleasant run but then it was raining. It's going to rain for days. Sigh. The rain didn't bother me as far as the trip but I wanted to take all the Halloween village boxes and the huge can store a body in it plastic tote back to my office. I wasn't taking the former out in the rain but I did haul the latter ( Read more... )

So this week's writing post is self indulgent. It's part of my process is to talk to others when I get stuck and that often helps me to get things moving. I was talking to evil_little_dog last night and thought this would be a neat thing to continue here ( Read more... )

two stores opened today a book store and something calling itself a mercantile. Before I went I detoured to the coffee shop which wasn't a great choice because in walks one of the Maga idiots with a t-shirt Jesus Won (I don't know about you but around here many Trump signs also included so Jesus can win). It was all I could do to not ask him ( ( Read more... )

So the dead computer DID fix itself and it's alive again (12 years and still chugging) I was able to get everything off of there. Weirdly I was missing some class notes on the external drive so I'm glad I was able to get back in. Chrome no longer works at all but that's it. Everything else is fine ( Read more... )

My ancient (12 years) old HP desktop came up with a massive error at dinner time (it heard me talking about replacing it I think) none of the repairs worked until I went to the advanced attempt. 3 hours later I see it's back to the main screen. It's too late (i.e. my brain shut down) to go see if I can get my stuff off of it. don't get me wrong. I ( Read more... )

No, I mean it. My brother is like Dad. Let's GOOOOOOOOOO! It's 730 in the fucking morning, may I finish my tea and my egg burrito? I'm not sure I've inhaled it that fast before. We were out the gate before 830. I was in the coffee house back in Jackson before 930 ( Read more... )

I did it, everyone. I did it! I walked the Old Man's Cave trail Before anyone gets too excited no I didn't do the full 6 miles. I did the northern loop which is about a mile. I didn't need help except on two of the natural stairs areas where a step was just SO far down (my brother and his friend TT helped as needed) I did learn there is an early ( Read more... )
