theKid started back to school … and how quickly these years have passed. Harking back to the early days of pre-K, diaper changes with strangers, foot and mouth disease. And is it impetigo or vitiligo? Never could keep those straight. Anyhoo, during those formative years always believed the adults were exaggerating when they said time speeds …

My problem is that not everyone sucks, and not all the time. Mentioned earlier in these parts that a Merry Tweaker bested me, wandered off with a solid five-figure, one comma, double-digited heist … Sigh. Learn me to give the face-tatted stranger a chance. Anyhoo, are where we are, and getting to a better place. …
The Fam is back. Half returned with theKid, which is nice. Only been about two months, say 10 weeks, roughly 71 days, but who’s counting? Would be lying if claimed sleeping in, eating crap, and days to self wasn’t highly, highly enjoyable, but an entire life of that? No thanks. And the only reason can …
So … men beating up on women is now considered sport. Whodathunk. Suppose Ike just needed boxing gloves. Presumably bareknuckle is still taboo? Silver lining, folks. If a man is accused of DV, need only claim that it was mutual combat between women, coz in the moment … he identified as a woman. What are …
Half has promised to bring Halfself and theKid back next month. It’s been awhile. Methinks me be lying if me said sleeping in, occasionally fooding, hermitting and yon’midnight late-nights haven’t been nice … most def have. A solitary creature does like its solitude. But. Even Ted Kaczinski needed to reach out. Jim Beam has a …
Ring/buzz/trill. “Hello?” “Hey Dad.” “Hey! It’s my number one son! How’s it going?” “Good, Dad. Good.” “And how are all my grandbabies?” Gentle chuckle. “They’re fine.” “And my daughter-in-law?” “She’s good.” “Planted the next seed yet?” Another chuckle. “Not just yet. The baby’s only a few months old, figured I’d give her break. Maybe have …

HA! No sympathy. Nada. None. Zilch. Nyet. Hate to break it to you ladies, but you created your own creature, built your own beast. Made your own monster. To an individual, the audience heard the exact same thing: “I want …” “I wanted …” “I just had to have …” There was never a need, …
There’s a delightful young woman on the Tok of the Tik – the Girl with the List / @z00mie – and she offers birth control advice / cures for baby fever. She (I believe the term) “stitches” other clips together of women describing the absolute horror of certain birth situations. For example, one woman reminisced …
OK so the Amazon Rainforest did not get a whole lotta rain earlier this year and now it is literally on fire. Bangladesh has flooded out after continuous rainfall for at least a month. Hurricane Beryl (July 2024) is the first F-5 hurricane of the season, hitting the Caribbean hard almost two months prior to …
Was perusing the Tubes of You and came across a CC “Metal Leo,” who visits decaying cities in CA (yup, there’s Gavin, selling his used BMWs). Recently watched a familiar area – Fisherman’s Wharf and North Beach in SF – and was really surprised at the decline. Gone. Used to work there. Once got catastrophically …
