Stupid Car

Stupid Arctic cold coming down to Arizona.ย  Stupid car not liking to start in the cold.ย  Stupid people keeping MY mechanic busy so he’s trying to give me advice over the phone so I’m stuck at home writing instead of going to work…ย  Have you guessed I’m not really all that upset?ย  I mean, I […]

Meltdown

Not me, Hope.ย  Miss Let’s-drive-everyone-around-me-insane didn’t take her medicine this morning. That’ll teach everyone who doesn’t think she needs it.

Adventures in Morning

I freely admit it.ย  Mornings are not my best time of day.ย  Never have been.ย  There was a time if you wanted to see me in the a.m., you had better stay up past midnight.ย  Or get up at five, and come visit before my bedtime of…dawn. That’s the only way to view sunrise, btw.ย

Darwin Had a Point

Quoting from this site: A 22-year-old man suffered internal injuries after lighting a small firecracker he had inserted into his buttocks, paramedics said Thursday. The incident took place Sunday, when Britain celebrated Bonfire Night, traditionally marked with fireworks to celebrate the Guy Fawkes’ gunpowder plot to blow up Parliament in the 17th century.
