- OldNFO did an interview about the CalExit anthology yesterday. Give it a listen!
- The yearly fight against zombie leaves in the yard has begun. So far, I’m winning.
- You can take it as a sign of how good a neighbor I’m trying to be when I spend several hours raking, mowing, and bagging leaves today when there is supposed to be a windstorm followed by rain tonight.
- Note to self – Paper money will hide very effectively in two inches of leaves. That is, of course, until you run over it with the lawnmower.
- Yesterday morning, I was up at about 7:45. I fed the dogs and cats, made coffee, and put on some quiet music.
- I had a choice of Vivaldi or John Philip Sousa.
- Sousa just sounded right.
- Irish Woman did not agree.
- She also didn’t like the Chipmunks, which was what I put on after I shut off Sousa.
- At 6:35 this morning, I was awoken by my darling wife because she and Boo swore they heard someone playing our piano.
- She is now convinced we have a ghost.
- I’m convinced this has more to do with John Philip Sousa than it has to do with spectral housemates.
- Going to the grocery store today was an adventure in observing rude dumbasses.
- I watched two older ladies having a bit of a tug of war over a box of “Thin Mint” breakfast cereal.
- A young man, who must be either a raging assbite or legally blind, ran into a young mother with his cart as he was shopping for body wash.
- I witnessed, and may God strike me down if I lie, a teenage girl spit on her mother in the dairy section. The fact that the mother did not murder her right then and there tells me a lot about where we are as a society.
- Reading the news this morning, I was struck by how many people are suddenly experts in light infantry tactics and the JFK assassination.

/ October 22, 2017Hey DB;
I listened to the interview…and Old NFO was just a tad nervous…although he would have done better than I would have, I would have been a blithering idiot. If you want to solve the leaves dilemma…take out the root of the problem….literally…Next year no more leaves. I try to avoid shopping, what I see would make me wonder if this is what the Romans saw toward the end of their empire.

/ October 23, 2017Yes, but which Sousa music did you play?
For a certain Sousa piece my mind insists on supplying the “Be Kind To Your Web Footed Friends” lyrics.

/ October 23, 2017Heh, nervous wasn’t the half of it, trying to keep the language clean was my biggest worry! 🙂 Re shopping… I’m about to the point that I’m gonna PAY somebody to do it, that way my BP will stay under control… sigh
