A FRIEND, REMEMBERED
A few years ago, when I was a volunteer at the Main Street Community Center, I met a patron named Abdel. He was a naturalized citizen, originally from Tunisia, a French colony in northern Africa. Abdel had some health issues, and even though he was only in his 50s, he had retired. He jumped at the... Sign in to see full entry.

THE BIG CHILL
If you remember, "The Big Chill" was the title of a movie that came out in 1983 about a group of old school chums who get together for the funeral when one of their friends dies. This is not about that kind of chill... Here in Beautiful Downtown Mundane it is cold enough to turn a birdbath into an... Sign in to see full entry.

POLITICS? THANK YOU, NOT TODAY.
I get more greasy politics than my stomach can stand on TV, where I have a remote in hand, trigger finger ready to switch to the Game Show Network. But some folks on social media share a lot of political posts they glean from other sources. So, for the sake of my mental health I sometimes put them... Sign in to see full entry.

It's back.
After I sent a copy of my photo and appealed FB's decision to deny access yesterday, they restored service. The pic. from my album was one that is about seven years old, but I don't have a cell phone to take one right now, so that was all I could do. I suspect some jerk lifted my info and used it to...

ISSUES @ FB
In case you've tried to reach me at FB, they have shut down my page until I send them a new facial photo. Apparently, the pic I've been using (an ostrich) on my opening page no longer meets their requirements. I am working to solve the problem and hope to be back up and reading your posts very soon.

THE MYSTERY
Candidate Green was reading his email when a movement near the file cabinet caught his eye. Something had tumbled out from behind the stack of boxes his staff was to unpack. The staff was setting up the campaign office in a very good part of town for maximum public exposure. Many potential voters... Sign in to see full entry.

DEALERS CHOICE
She was in disguise, oversized worn Levi's and a flannel shirt that revealed the top inch of thermal knit underwear, hair left unkempt and pulled up under a Stetson, that fell in a tangled mess around the shoulders, muddy boots. To the barkeep and the riders from the Bar-S who stood around with... Sign in to see full entry.

WHATZIT ALL ABOUT?
I am approaching my 90th birthday, thought I'd seen it all. There have been any number of changes in this world since I've been able to walk and talk at ground level and world-wide. You'd think by now I'd know a thing or two. But every time I think I know what makes the world tick (and tic)... Sign in to see full entry.
