This weekend is Easter Sunday, and must say … still very grateful. With all of everything going on, all the unexpected, all the drama, all the sturm and drang …… still amazingly, overwhelmingly grateful. When I think about the recent headaches, the overarching nonsense of others, the general foolishness of man, it is easy to …

And the Saga Continues … But Y Tho’?
This is … almost, but not quite, sorta-not, not even … funny. Sigh. So it’s raining (again) and while rain is almost always welcome, not so much right in the now. Face-tatted, poo-flinging monkey person is still on site, claiming rain will delay even further, and constantly looking/asking/begging for cash … “Can’t finish without … …
A Riddle, Wrapped in Mystery, Swaddled with Enigma, Excreting WTF
OK so the Elder has a brand-new roof … hopefully it won’t leak. Wasn’t planning on a new roof … no spending plan for a new roof … but got one, anyway. After discovering black mold and dry rot, the face-tatted monkey hump that is this person managed to get more $$$ from me than …

Poo-Flinging, Face-Tatted, Club-Footed Monkey
OK not mad, exactly. Just perplexed. A bit irritated. Confused, as to this. OK so there are not one but two two holes in the ceiling … one of which due to gross negligence, the other to … idiocy? Morons moving through the world? Stupidity just strutting about? Yah, methinks so. OK so face-tatted “guy” …

Face-tatted Monkey
Not sure what’s going on here. OK, so: backstory. The Elder has brain disease and a house. Can’t do much about the worms invading the skullbox but the house is a can-do, methought. Got some familial tenants residing, keeping eyes on things … good for them, good for all. Anyhoo. House needs some TLC … …

Law #9 – Don’t Talk … Move
A vizier is the most trusted consul of the sultan, with powers constrained only by the sultan himself. One particular vizier had dutifully served his sultan for over 30 years, but his blunt honesty had created many enemies within the sultan’s court, who spread rumors designed to instill doubt in the sultan’s mind as to …
How Neat
Did I enjoy that? Not sure. I think so, but … hmmm. Dunno. Nice little apocalyptic fare … thwarted (of course) at the last moment, which (of course) is the fairy tale. Books (and movies, for that matter) that end in the absolute destruction of man’s civilization tend not to fare well. People, silly little …
Death Metal
Sitting here amazed that there aren’t more 70-car pileups with multiple fatalities on a day-to-day basis, on these here ‘Murrican highways. What the Staties call a “high-casualty incident.” I mean … seriously. Recently read a BuzzFeed … feed? Article? Post? Musing? about the Internet’s perspective on the world before and after the plandemic (yeh I …
It Ain’t the Kids
theKid has been involved in sports from, oh, say, slightly after exiting the womb. Half was instrumental in that. I’m inclined to let children grow like weeds, let ‘em take over and blossom as they will but I’m also deeply in debt and fairly irresponsible soooooo … yeh. So theKid has played sports (sport) for …
