Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – Collect
I was walking back from the store and heard the screech of vehicle brakes behind me. I turned around and came face to face with the FedEx van. I have to say maybe a FedEx van doesn’t have a face, but it sure seemed that way to me. Anyway, the driver tossed a […]
FridayJohnKu – AKA – TGIF
It is Friday again, and time to be thinking about the weekend. For those who work, it promises to be a long weekend. Not much to report today. This week seemed pretty slow. Kept the pressure on my WIP. Had to do some research which tends to slow things down a bit. I make […]
Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy – Squirrel Dundee
“Okay, so you think there are squirrels in the yard?” “Not think, Lucy. I know there are squirrels in the yard.” “What makes you think so?” “I’ve seen them.” “Seen them. When?

Wednesday Story Day – AkA – Hump Day
It is Wednesday Story Day again, and last week we found out that the light-colored Escalade used by Cortez’s thugs didn’t have any reports of being stolen. The plate on it belonged to a Prius. There was one Escalade stolen in LA, but it was black. We did speculate that it would be easy […]

Views of the Neighborhood – Going Back to the Gym
Since restrictions are lifted and I am fully vaccinated, it is time to go back to the gym. I know this isn’t the most exciting neighborhood tour, but it is a monumental event. We have brunch catered from the Hillside Farmacy in Austin. We have Sugarland as our entertainment today. Hillside Farmacy Brunch Texas Cheese […]
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – ROC
I was having a wannabe productive day yesterday. I was thinking of maybe raking the leaves and mowing the lawn. I got out the lawnmower and gave it a tug. It started in one pull, so I knew something was wrong. As I walked behind (yes, it is self-propelled. I’m 80 years old, so […]
Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF
Friday again so soon? WTH. Okay, enough of the “Is life moving too fast? rant.” Of course, it is. We haven’t seen anything yet. Wait until everything opens up, and we all jump on the gerbil wheel.
