on the road again
Not sure what to write about tonight. Went on a road trip that took all day, because it was two hundred nineteen and a half miles of windshield time: ninety-six and a half miles from Madison to Tomah, forty-four miles from Tomah to Adams, and seventy-nine miles from Adams back to Madison. There’s just no… Read.

old dog
An old dog learning new tricks: When I rake the cat boxes, I start by pushing all the kitty litter to one end. I used to use the litter box rake, which is made so the litter sifts through it. Not the best tool to push the litter around, but I never thought about it… Read.

crooked
I had to back the car out of the garage this morning after My Darling B parked it last night. Took me a minute to figure out how to do it. It was just about sideways to the door. Okay, not exactly sideways, but it beats me how she got it in there at the… Read.

pranged
A very tender spot over my left eyebrow is keeping me from rubbing my eyes, which are always very dry about this time of the morning. Kids, pay attention: One of the warning signs of old age, like hair growing long enough to dangle from your nose like the legs of a dead fly, is… Read.

Hudson has a prettified downtown area where they kept most of the old buildings and rehabbed them for… Read.

whether or not 2
People don’t really believe the world is flat, do they? I know there are lots of people with narrow minds and stupid opinions, but the people who claim that the world is flat, they’re only trolling the rest of us, right? It’s just not possible that they could be serious. Read.

whether or not
I can no longer tell the difference between parody news, such as The Onion, and real news (or what has become known as “fake news,”) such as The New York Times or NBC. The Daily Shit reported yesterday that Trump announced “he is much better at sexual assault than Harvey Weinstein & Bill Cosby and… Read.

discovering the sock basket
[This was originally posted on September 15, 2008, and is reposted here mainly for my own amusement.] Between early last week and the weekend, somewhere in there, Tim discovered the laundry basket that holds all the socks. We have three or four large, rectangular laundry baskets and one, odd-man-out square laundry basket, and because I’m… Read.

errands
I had a million things to do today, but I crossed 999,997 of them off my list because all I felt like three’s a good number and that’s all I felt like doing. And it’s the weekend. Not that I needed an excuse, but it feels like I should type one anyway. My #1 goal… Read.
