  • fender

    A fender washer is a circle of steel about the size of a half-dollar with a smallish hole in the middle. I had one in my collection. I needed four, so I pocketed the one as I got ready to jump into the O-mobile to head down the road so I could save big money Read.

  • Mighty Mouse

    Who hasn’t needed this guy to save the day at least once in their lives? Read.

  • Plexi

    If you read nothing else today, you should devote fifteen minutes to Eyeball of Providence unless, providentially, you have an appointment tomorrow with a doctor who will slice your eyeballs open and you’re feeling at all anxious about it. … if you have to have cataract surgery and have not seen “Un Chien Andalou,” the Read.

  • what’s that smell?

    With about fifteen minutes between chores this morning, I started folding clothes from a basket that’s been sitting on the floor in our bedroom all week, a common-enough sight in our house. We can wash clothes like the pros, we’re just not so good at folding them or putting them away. Sometimes we go a Read.

  • Monstrous Red Rain

    In every movie I’ve ever seen about the war in Viet Nam, there’s always one scene where it’s raining like it’s never going to stop raining. That’s how it’s raining here today. If a visitor from another planet landed in my backyard today, he would nickname this planet Rain. Read.

  • monstrous red blob

    Not biking to work today. Woke up to thunder and was greeted by spotty rain drizzling down when I opened the front door to let the chipmunks tease the cats. And there was also a monstrous red blob coming in from the west on the satellite map when I checked the National Weather Service. I Read.

  • under effen wear

    He was wearing jeans that were pulled all the way up to his waist and properly belted so there was no chance they were going to sag, ever. And over the jeans he wore triple-XL plaid boxer shorts. Oh yes. It can always get worse. Read.

  • No, after you

    Biking to work today, I slowed down at the spot where the bike trail crossed Blount because a Budweiser beer truck was coming up the road. He was moving pretty slow but I’m pretty slow sometimes too and I didn’t want to get smooshed like a bug, so I stopped. I had to wait a Read.

  • cat plan

    The cats came so close to realizing their nefarious plan. For weeks, they’ve been waking me up a little earlier each day by standing at the foot of our bed mewling, or jumping on my head, and I’ve been obliging them by getting up and feeding them, thinking that with a little food in their Read.

  • Oolong

    This is Oolong the rabbit, who was apparently an internet meme about ten years ago. Ten years ago I hadn’t even heard of internet memes. I have so much catching up to do that I’d never be able to catch up if I could afford to make it my full-time job. I’m pretty sure this Read.
