Memory of Guy Fawkes Day
It was some sort of convenience store. My Grandmother and I walked through the isles, looking for the best choices for the fireworks display that night. As a 5-year old, my choices weren’t the same as hers. But at the end of the night, she was right. Jacaranda twining about the porch Guy burns in…

Damned Cows, Part 2
Turns out that the cows don’t belong to Bill, and he’s not even sure whose cows they are. So let’s see… I’ve had stray dogs show up, stray cats show up (for a second only. The dogs are quick to scare them away) and now stray cows. Lovely. At least they weren’t abandoned at the…

Damn Cows
Driving down the drive-way last night, I saw a foreign object under the front yard tree. What the hell is that, I think to myself, as I reach for the gun that isn’t there. whatever it is, it’s large. It’s black. It appears to be looking back at me. Turns out it’s a cow lying…

Looking For A Nut
I went to get the nut for my bike today. On the way to the hd dealership, I stopped by 2 auto supply shops and a home depot. None of them carried the right nuts. The dealership didn’t have any in stock. Like a crackhead stooping to the lowest level, I even went into a…

The Day Before
I told my good friend the other day that the universe is fractal. What we endure on a macroscopic level we also undergo on a microscopic level. Daily, in some manner or another, we have to do a back-flip into the chasm. If I knew then what i know now, I would approach everything so…

Requiem for Ibsen (12.19.17.0.17)
I buried my dog Ibsen today. He died yesterday. I had the vet come to the house to euthanize him. They were an hour late. When the tech called, she said it was because of an emergency. I hope everything turned out alright for that emergency visit. It gave me another hour to spend with…
