THE HAPPY WANDERER AND...

BEST PROGRAMS ARE AFTER G'MA PATCH'S BEDTIME

It's getting difficult to find a subject to write about that isn't about politics or war or climate change. Oh - almost forgot the pandemic, Covid the invisible dragon, etc. There's so much depressing, frightening or just plain disgusting material any hour of the day on the "news" channels. So, I've...

EARLY SPRING?

While at the kitchen window waiting for my coffeemaker to brew a cup of decaf, I noticed something moving in the grass near the back fence. A couple of robins, busily tapping for worms. Then I saw a couple more, and a sparrow. And at the edge of the garage roof sat a little hen Cardinal. Other birds... Sign in to see full entry.

ABOUT THE SUPER BOWL

Thank heavens the newsies are doing features on all facets of the Super Bowl, and letting politics, war, disaster and mistrials of the rich and famous rest in their own soup. Fascinating to learn a 30-second commercial will cost about $30 million bucks, that the cheap seats at Allegiant Stadium in... Sign in to see full entry.

Berrying

If you were an eagle flying over, you'd see Mill Creek flowing through the valley below the village of Salkum, narrower and deeper in places, but mostly just deep enough for the trout to swim. There were fallen branches where the flowing water hollowed out places along the bank, minor underwater... Sign in to see full entry.

COVID SUCKS

I think I may have caught a cold - probably on one of my shopping explorations in the wilds of Walmart. Surely it could not have been in that high-falutin' top of the line grocery store where they make the tasty oven-fried chicken and fancy Watergate salad, where my appetite took me even though I am...

SUNRISE AT THE FARM

Three goats stood at the peak of their barn in the hour just before sunrise. Two had been poets in a previous life, the third had most recently been a butterfly, and before that, a silent screen actor. Adolphe Menjou, the goat recalled, had been in several silent movies before he graduated to... Sign in to see full entry.

ON RELIGIOUS WARFARE

Religious hatred grows from a seed planted by Satan. Its promise is vindication, but its fruit is destruction. Those who cultivate it lose everything, along with those they call enemy. If nothing is sacred, all is scorched. plh 2-3-2024 Sign in to see full entry.

BLOOEY! POW! ZAP!

While wandering through FB, ignoring the political posts, and posting a poo emoji or two, I got this great idea for a nostalgic post that was sure to bring a grin to readers... But by the time I clicked out of that app and into Blogit, the idea had disappeared into the depths of the caves of memory.... Sign in to see full entry.
