The high spark of low sole boys

That was many, many moons beers ago…

Here we go again. But before I get started about yesterday, I have some comments about comments. Amongst my handful of loyal readers, some actually share their thoughts in the comments section. Unsurprisingly, those comments often have more substance than the original post (admittedly, that’s a low bar). So, if you haven’t done so already, I invite you to read the exchange between me and commenter Brian in the post “Getting on with it.” Honestly, interactions like those are my favorite part of blogging.

As seen on the morning dog walk. Storm damage?
Or vandalism? I report, you decide.

When it was time for the Wednesday Walkers to convene, we decided to keep it mostly on the street. So, we grabbed a Jeepney and rode it out to Waltermart on the far side of Subic town, then walked the backroads home.

This week’s iteration of the Wednesday Walkers.
A river in Mangan-Vaca.
Over the river.
On the riverbank.
First cookie delivery of the day.
On the Govic Highway.
The road to Naugsol.

Yeah, I’m at the back of the pack in most of these photos. I’m slow on a good day, but yesterday I had pain in my left ankle for some reason, and it hobbled my progress. I woke up in pain during the night as well and required some Tylenol to get back to sleep. I took a day off from walking this morning.

That mountain we call Easter.
Out in the great wide open.
Another storm casualty. This one must have fallen across the road and got amputated.
The sister tree retained her dignity in death.
“Downtown” Naugsol.
Crossing Bridge #4.
Over the Matain River.
Heading for the valley.
Navigating the Naugsol falls.
The 1,238,798 wonder of the world. Give or take a billion.
Heading back up into Alta Vista.
A pleasant enough 7K trek, notwithstanding the pain in my ankle.

That ankle didn’t stop me from heading back out at beer o’clock either.

Beer and wine at Cheap Charlies with this woman.
And dinner delivered from the restaurant downstairs, Foodies. First time I’ve tried their sweet-and-sour pork. It was yummy.
The best view from the CR in town.
That cat on a hot tin roof I read about in school.
The view of the highway and suicide tower from Cheap Charlies.

We visited Green Room next, and enjoyed our nightcap at Wet Spot. Then we rolled on home. No complaints about my Wednesday. Keep ’em coming!

Moving on to May 2015 in the LTG archives, and in this rambling post, I talk about giving up cigarettes and being grumpy. Those two things may be related, but I haven’t smoked for ten years now, and I’m grumpier than ever. Go figure.

Today’s YouTube video is something a little different for me, talking about death and the spiritual being within our human body. I don’t buy it, but since it is only five minutes long, you may want to decide for yourself.

Let’s lighten our load with these:

It was worth a shot.
Why make it so hard on her?
Well, how old do you have to be to get this one? And why did I think of one of the best albums ever, Who’s Next?

Okay then, we are done for today. Swan is having a gathering of lady friends up at The Rite Spot on the Roof this afternoon. I made some chili, cornbread muffins, and brownies for the event. I’ve got plenty of beer on ice for me and any menfolk who may come along. Nothing wrong with sticking close to home for a change.

  1. Great to see a classic Trek meme on here today, John! I still enjoy watching episodes from TOS, back when there was still hope for the future as well.

    I also watched Wrath of Khan last weekend, and started on The Search for Spock this week. If you haven’t seen this films on Blu-Ray I recommend doing so because they look absolutely fantastic.

    Have a great day, and prosper!

  2. Imagine if you found out shinshonmaaaan (real) was actually your Siamese twin sister who you never knew existed because you couldn’t resist sticking your finger in her pussy, and every time ur parents would say “Ewww bruv, you are hella gross and spurvey” you would reply with, “It’s not my fault, niggah, we are *conjoined*”, so they seperated u for ur own good. And now sis has found u and is reaching out by calling kimcheeking and willie peckers “faggots” on koreanesl.

  3. Achievements today- Thumbnailed another chapter of my comic. It’s about the healing power of music. That’s all I will say.

    I also showered. Which doesn’t seem like much until you realize I’ve been unemployed for nearly three years and the passage of time is a theoretical concept to me now.

  4. You’ve got another malicious plug-in or another bit of malware in WordPress. I’m being redirected to a malicious website like several weeks ago with a scam 1-800 Windows support number.
