"That should come down…"…Part II

We’ve all heard of the famous ‘butterfly effect’ from chaos theory, where the flapping of a butterfly’s wings can cause a tornado – meaning that major events can have seemingly insignificant causes. Maybe it was an early morning sunbeam illuminating a flyspeck on the now extinct wall that set off my... Sign in to see full entry.

"That should come down…"

“That should come down!” “Why?” “Because I don’t like it any more!” “You’ve liked it for years!” “But I don’t like it any more!” “Why not?” “Because…” “The house will come down!” “No it won’t!” “It’s load-bearing!” “No it isn’t!” “How would you know?” “Jim told me.” “ Jim???” “Yeah, you weren’t...

Update No. 3

Some voices have asked for further updates on my latest contretemps involving the forces of nature, and I have heard and shall comply. There are reasons for the snail’s pace at which this information is being made available… An ancient Greek philosopher, whose name escapes me at the moment (and I... Sign in to see full entry.

Yet another Update…

I haven’t been around Blogit much, partly because I still find it hard to type, occasional appearances to the contrary notwithstanding. And I thank you all for your good wishes, and hope you’ll forgive me for not visiting as regularly as is my wont. I don’t believe in demons. Let me rephrase that –... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Update...

First of all, thanks again to all of you for your good wishes – I even accept prayers, lol. And I’m seriously thinking of buying stock in Bayer, the outfit that makes Aspirin, since they have seen a significant increase in sales this past week. That way, at least some of what I spend on the stuff... Sign in to see full entry.

An Update...

First of all a big ‘Thank You’ to all my Blogit buddies for your good wishes, they’re really appreciated. I’ve been around occasionally and have read some of you, but haven’t commented. To do so involves – you guessed it – typing...Which has been a problem... I’ve been keeping the typing to an... Sign in to see full entry.

To my Blogit friends…

I may not be around much over the next few days, probably won’t write much, nor read much either… Had a bit of a collision with the sidewalk, which in its perfidious treachery had spread a patch of ice in my path as I was walkin’ my doggie, you know, jag…I wear cleats on my boots, didn’t help much...

The Snow Flies Are Out…

I’m telling you no secrets when I say that it’s snowing everywhere, even in Dallas, and it has never snowed in Dallas before! I know that because I found out they have no snow ploughs in Dallas. And when I learned of that I decided that I wasn’t gonna drive down for the Super Bowl – I didn’t like... Sign in to see full entry.

A Few Notes on Naut’s Menagerie…

I’ve been telling you about our avian residents, who sometimes get unwelcome visitors, but haven’t said much about our mammalian ones! (And I am not talking about Jag and Bubbles, who aren’t ‘residents’ but family!) There are of course the squirrels: there’s Arthur and Hermione, there’s Pomeroy and... Sign in to see full entry.

The Curse of the Unintended Consequence…Part II

“It’s probably her,” I say. “How do you know it’s her?” “Well, she’s fat, fatter than him anyway!” “I don’t CARE,” my LSW hisses again. The very much Unintended Consequence doesn’t care either, and is enjoying himself (or herself) thoroughly, taking full advantage of the opportunity that had... Sign in to see full entry.
