CURRENT AFFAIRS: Pork and I
See, I just knew the day would improve: Wooden Arrows of Fortune to Save The US Bailout Plan. "We" get $2 million of that tacked-on $110 billion. Yes, I made arrows (as well as quivers and bowcases) for kids and … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: It’s setting up to be Black Friday
Between waiting to see if and what the House does and how it will affect the market, being completely unable to fire up the new pc, and listening to corks pop on last year’s crabapple wine thus ruining the few … Continue reading Continue reading

CURRENT AFFAIRS: It’s all a matter of perspective
People hear what they want to hear and so the campaigns really do little but reinforce what we want to believe about a candidate. I’ve tried to keep an open mind and truly listen to what these politicians are saying–knowing … Continue reading Continue reading

CURRENT AFFAIRS: Bailout Free-for-all
How freaking stupid; they’ve tacked on aid to just about everyone but the picture framers in this new bill just to ease everybody’s resentment. We didn’t do that to the farmer’s aid legislation and we’re still paying for that but … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY: Not A Happy Camper
The new pc with a new monitor does absolutely nothing. I’ve built from scratch and gotten a beep at least. Just hoping it’s something I’ve done wrong–which means plugging in a cord incorrectly at best. Continue reading

WRITING, REALITY?, et al: Outlets
As long as my mind is clear and my fingers capable of typing, I will write. And read; so I need my eyes. I imagine myself a head and arms above and aside a metal (please, not plastic!) box whirring … Continue reading Continue reading
TECHNOLOGY: PCs, Grapes & Apples
Eventually there comes a time when the old cannot be saved and rebuilt cost-effectively or efficiently and so a new computer lands at my door. This time, for the man, and a refurbished one that was so reasonably priced and … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Forecasts
I need a day when "likelihood of rain" is not included in the forecast. When paint will dry and brighten up a barn and not wash dripping into the flower bed. Continue reading

WRITING: Perspective
If it’s good enough to publish, please let them see that is about the most I dare to ask a God I don’t know is even there or listening and besides, I’ve asked Him sixty years’ of favors thrown away … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING: Stages

WRITING: The Reality
In my next life I want to be a middle-of-the-roader, easygoing, practically oblivious would be okay. The up and down of my typical Scorpio personality is greying me before my time and yet the lowest lows are bearable and the … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING: Communication
They call to each other, the hawks. One toanother, and a third, further out in the distance.And they manage– with the limitless sky as their pathway,the winds as the movement of leaves– to meet. Unbounded by fences or rivers or … Continue reading Continue reading

CURRENT AFFAIRS: Voting Rights
Interesting: A newly registered voter may vote in an election if he registers what looks to be at least the fourteenth day before an election, while a change of affiliation bears a 90-day waiting period. So I must bear the … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING: Perception
There is a world where sharks can fly and herons sail. Where two and two make twenty-two and two pieces of pie can feed three or four. Where leopards cruise and cars snake through a tunnel. Where you and I … Continue reading Continue reading
