I feel like our RV park's housekeeper deserves hazard pay. I continue to be astonished by some people, and the things that they do. Or in this case, what someone did NOT do. Someone had an unfortunate case of explosive diarrhea yesterday... In the shower. And got out of the shower, still "leaking," to reach … Continue reading What is WRONG With People?
A Pain in the Neck
Yesterday we drove an hour and a half to Washington's Tri-Cities, Richland, to the Apex Spine Institute, for a test procedure to see about addressing Jon's neck pain. His x-rays show the discs between his vertebrae entirely corroded, and the bones are rubbing against each other without any "cushion"... It's been a long road---especially because … Continue reading A Pain in the Neck
Avatar 3: Inadequately Imaginative
We went to the movies last night, to see "Avatar: Fire & Ash."

For the most part we prefer the comforts of our own … Continue reading Avatar 3: Inadequately Imaginative

He was about a year and a half, and our grocery store had a giant inflatable cow hanging above the dairy aisle. Sitting … Continue reading Cow Physiology 101
Firefighter Bob
I was in high school when I had an odd encounter at my dentist's office. I'd had my teeth cleaned, and I stopped at the receptionist's desk to schedule my next appointment and confirm my insurance information, and to confirm that the remaining bill should go to my dad. There was an older lady there … Continue reading Firefighter Bob
Clearing Out
I just spent two solid days in a whirlwind-tour of housecleaning---organizing, clearing out, dusting, vacuuming cat-hair... There are eight full garbage-bags in my car, waiting to go to Goodwill, and I took as many to the dumpster. I went through closets, shelves, drawers. I cleared off horizontal surfaces. I tornadoed through the various repository-areas where … Continue reading Clearing Out
