For what it’s worth

When you ain’t got nothin’, but you owe your loyal readers their daily bread, this is what you get. Sorry!

Tuesdays are always on the blah side, but even the mundane chores need attending to, and I’m happy to report that the weekly grocery shopping excursion has been accomplished. I stayed when we dropped Swan off at her place to meet with the landlord. Progress continues on the repairs and improvements, and the house should be good to go, or at least good enough, come 1 October.

Here comes the rain again! My view of Easter Mountain as I walked back to my place. I wondered if I would make it home before the downpour hit me. I did. Barely.

It rained for an hour or so, but by the time beer o’clock rolled around I was able to leave the house without an umbrella. I didn’t have an agenda in mind, but walking past Sloppy Joe’s I saw Chris, so went in the join him for a beer or three. Jim showed up a bit later, and we started an impromptu bar crawl with stops at Cheap Charlies, Voodoo, and Wet Spot. I ended my evening out there, and came home to enjoy some pecan pie a la mode before hitting the hay.

That’s how the pie looked before being smothered in vanilla ice cream.

Tomorrow’s post will have more substance, including photos from the Wednesday Walkers hike in Tibag. I’ve also got the Hideaway feeding to attend to later today.

I’m not sure that this qualifies as a trend, but I’m seeing more and more memes like this one on my Facebook feed. Will people stand up to the authorities if they attempt another variant of the scamdemic? Perhaps there is hope.

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

Who knew I’d be singing and relating to those protest songs for the 1960s again.

  1. the house should be good to go, or at least good enough, come 1 October.

    Is there a chance they’ll still be working on the place when you move in? If yes, I hope that doesn’t get awkward.

    Looking at that video’s thumbnail, I find myself thinking: “Ah, yes: the era of fishbowl haircuts and cowboy hats.”

    We’re almost halfway through September! How much prep do you have to do for the move, and how long will prepping take?

  2. There may be some ongoing work, but the inside things that I consider essential (like hot water in the shower) are already done. It shouldn’t be a problem.

    I’ve arranged for some guys with a truck to move my stuff on the 30th. Between now and then, I just need to pack everything up in boxes.
