Honestly, I don’t know ANYONE who likes the state of the world right now. Not a single person. And I’ve been wanting to write something about this, but I have not had an inch of breathing room for blogging all month. But I was looking for something I’d written about people getting paid for their work this morning, and tripped … Continue reading →
Something you might not know about me. Back in the early 2000’s, I was fat. Not chubby. Not “just need to lose a few pounds.” Morbidy obese. The point at which I stopped weighing myself and just gave up was when the scale hit 220, but I didn’t quit eating, and didn’t quit needing roomier clothes. So I weighed more … Continue reading →
I have mentioned (from time to time), that I am incapable of sitting still. Moving fingers prevent me from having to bounce a foot. A moving foot while I read allows me to keep my hands still for a bit. Awake, I find myself randomly walking down the hall in the middle of work without any conscious awareness that I … Continue reading →

So, yeah. Cthulhu is alive and well, after being really dead for a while. And partially it’s my fault, because I should have known better than to skin a Great Old One and turn him into yarn. Or try to do something useful with him. But, hey, you’d think a monster like that would knit up into something both waterproof … Continue reading →
Seriously… In this rare and exciting display of stunning cat stealth and coolness, Sheldon turns himself invisible. Do you have a pet with superpowers? … Continue reading →
The pictures that follow were taking during calmer periods in the storm, through one of the tiny holes in the bathroom shutter. Smallest window, least danger from opening it. On some of the pictures I took, you can see the curve of the holes where I didn’t have the lens lined up quite right. We lost trees, lost power three … Continue reading →
Hurricane Irma, or what I’ve decided to think of as the Okefenokee Wildlife Relocation Plan, now looks like it will start raining poisonous snakes and prehistoric reptiles on the South Florida burbs around eightish tomorrow morning. A bit early for that sort of thing, and the better class of hurricane never calls on a Sunday. Irma is clearly no lady. … Continue reading →
