Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – The Beginning, The End
The end of the week signals Stream of Consciousness Saturday, and I see Linda Hill has decided to leave a big package at the curb. I don’t blame her since it looks heavy. The sign on the side says Prompt so, I guess this is it. Man, this is heavy. Your prompt for #JusJoJan […]
Friday John Ku – AKA – TGIF
We have a Friday! Yes, indeed, it is here. This week has been a good one. Lots of news from Washington regarding executive orders from the president. Looks like most of the problems of society are ordered to be solved. It will be interesting to see the longer-range effects on some of them. I […]
Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy at Leasure
“So Little One. The sun is warm, and we have the day off.” “What do you mean the day off.” “There’s no UPS or FedEx deliveries scheduled. No ringing doorbell. No pumas or squirrels. Just peace and quiet.” “How do you know all this?” “I keep my ears open. I know when Mom is expecting […]
Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day
It is Wednesday Story Day again, and last week, we finished up the testing of all the folks working this case, and it seems Stennis is still the odd person out as far as being the suspected mole. A big thank you to Larry for getting Pricilla vetted. Speaking of her, Pricilla went to […]

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – Close Eyes and Point
It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday, and here comes Linda Hill with a mammoth box. “Hey, Linda.” “John.” “Prompt?” “Duh. I’ll just leave it here on the porch. I doubt it will fit in the door.” “Thanks, Linda. Would you look at this? I better open it and see what we’ve got. I […]
Friday – JohnKu – AKA TGIF
Well, here we are, starting day three of the new administration. As I float around the blogs, I see some of those who worked themselves into a frenzy regarding Trump are now writing hate-filled posts about a few in Washington who have a question about the new direction.
