JAN 6TH COMMITTEE SCHEDULES SURPRISE HEARING!

The January 6th Committee surprised the news networks by announcing a new hearing today at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time. They said they just received new evidence. If you have access to CSPAN you can watch the hearing and make up your own mind about what is presented, without commentary and editorializing... Sign in to see full entry.

A VERY MERRY MONDAY TO YOU...

At 5:00 I woke up, beckoned by the porcelain throne. I paid my dues there and then went by the kitchen to take the morning meds. I knew it wouldn't be uplifting or cheerful, but it was news time on Channel 4, so I turned it on and pulled the covers up. I was sound asleep again in no time. Just... Sign in to see full entry.

THE GRAPES OF PEACE

Got home from the store a few days ago to discover those gorgeous red grapes that tempted me so were the kind with seeds. I ate a few, spitting out the seeds, and thought about cleaning and pitting them. Then laziness reared its sleepy head and told me there was a better way. Feed these to the...

THE HONEYMOON IS OVER

That first year was kind of a mixed bag. I came from a disadvantaged background, dad left the family by means of a bigamous marriage while he was deployed on a special mission during WWII. Mom divorced him after getting papers from the U.S. Navy's bureaucracy asking her to give up the family... Sign in to see full entry.

ALL HELL IS GONNA BREAK LOOSE...

Roe v Wade has been overturned. It seems the founding fathers hadn't mentioned abortion, and thus the constitution makes such procedures null and void. Need I mention that women weren't people in those days? They couldn't vote or own property, and in the eyes of the law, a man and wife were one: the... Sign in to see full entry.

STREET SEEN

LOYAL-OPPOSITION DEFINITIONS: Conservative: Politically involved male who believes women should make babies, cook and clean, and men should do whatever the hell they want to. Alternatively, a politically involved female who believes conservatism makes her morally superior to women who think for... Sign in to see full entry.

Mid-Year's Resolution

Starting three days ago I began follow-up on my decision/resolution to declutter and get rid of one bit of flotsam and jetsam each day. The first day I gave a stuffed toy away. It was one my daughter sent as a joke, a really ugly ostrich-like thing designed to sit on the edge of a shelf (like that... Sign in to see full entry.

LOST AND FOUND

Day or so ago I mentioned a missing lizard at my house after son Rich and his granddaughters left. I was resigned to the idea that my little blue and green reptile might have taken a shine to those girls and was on his way to wherever... I'd had custody of Techie (the lizard) since the early '90s.... Sign in to see full entry.

SCREEN SAVERS: MAYBE IT'S NOT JUST A COINCIDENCE...

Yesterday's view was two butterflies on a single multi-flowered bloom. Today's screen saver appears to be sunrise over the smoking pit of hell. Yesterday the humidity was low, the temp comfortable enough for dog walkers. Today's air is steamy and almost unbreatheable, going to bump 100 degrees... Sign in to see full entry.

SUMMER DAZE

There was an old woman lived over the hill and if she's not gone she's living there still... A couple nights ago I stepped out on the porch just after sunset to stand in awe as dozens of lightning bugs did their twinkling, flickering thing. There was even one hovering near me on the porch for a... Sign in to see full entry.
