The Mouse and the Motorcycle
Mine won't even send or receive pics. dang
That top drawing I did trying to win this magazine for a year. Keeping my fingers crossed. The book is this one by Beverly Cleary. I also bought this, yay me!
I’ve actually sat at a table where everybody was on the phone in one way or another. It tends to stall face to face conversations. How often do we trade non virtual relationships for virtual ones?
One lazy mutt
This is the way I have felt all day. It’s been gloomy and rainy all day, the perfect day for a long nap. Or maybe a book and a nap. Or a book, snack and a nap.
a blah day
Ever have one of those days? Today I just want to curl up on the couch and stare at bad TV. It all started when my pants no longer fit me. It just went down from there. I’d be up for some savagery, but I don’t think I have the spleen for it today.
self portrait, drawn with my new astronaut ink
40 years ago Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, bounced around, took some sample moon rocks and inspired a nation that was at that time tearing itself apart. It was 1969. There was a lot going on.
All my life I have been fascinated with space. What’s out there? Who’s out there? When I saw the first pictures of the surface of Mars beamed back from the rovers I was thrilled. I was gazing at the horizon of a whole other planet.
There’s a new push to land a man on Mars. Can it be done? Should it be done? On one hand, yes it should and one day we will be able to. Think of all the technology that came from our pursuit of the moon. On the other hand, no, we have a huge national debt and problems galore here on Earth that technology can’t solve.
what you get when you scan money
This warning popped up when I was scanning a $20 dollar bill for an advertisement. Yikes.
Me and my favorite pen, ready for space travel
Remember my favorite pen? It lives on thanks to these refills. The pressurized ink comes out smooth and I can draw under water now. Squirrel Queen was quick to point out though that the paper would only get wet.
Sotomayor: self proclaimed wise woman
Well, she probably is smarter than me considering she’s a judge and all, I just have problems with people who claim to be wise. It just seems wrong and suspect to me. It reeks of self importance and pride.The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.” William Shakespeare
and time slips away
It seems like we are always wanting to be somewhere else. We’re apt to drift off at any moment into a technicolor daydream.
The more I read the less I know
Then again most legislature is confusing, but the TN Gun Law is beyond confusing. It’s a hot mess. “You can take your gun here, but not there and only at certain times and phases of the moon. Then again, municipalities and owners of private property have the power to make their own rules concerning carrying a concealed weapon. So who really knows? Not that it concerns me in particular, I don’t carry, but I do see how this could turn into a “don’t ask, don’t tell” situation when carrying hand guns. I think that is probably already going on more than we know.
Sanford goes a courting
My friend Wendell calls it “sparking” which makes me laugh. In my opinion Sanford is a sap. He even sounds like a sap, mooning over some girl like a love sick teenager. I wonder if he used the same lines when he was courting his wife.
stranger in a strange town
I think my favorite ball point pen is about to bite the dust. I got it free at a seminar in a goody bag from the Herald Citizen. It’s heavy and makes nice heavy lines. Sigh…I can refill, but it will never be the same.
