Is the background music “Let’s get metaphysical” ? Nah, Just playing my own name game. I had to refrain from writing what is in the vein of declaration of blue as the sky color, but indeed “I like podcasts”. And I mean listening to them. My time for doing this in while driving, often on […]
SPLOTs. Who can’t get enough of them? Most of the internet, I am sure. It’s been a while, aka five years, since I cued up Cher and Whats His Name for that funky toe tapping beat. It’s been literally years since I touched the WordPress themes that power SPLOTs. Yet weirdly, and with all the […]

Now I am way head of last year, when my Daily Photo Habit disappeared in late April. I have gotten through the fifth month, getting to dangerously boisterous yelling of FIVE MONTHS IN, I CAN DO ANYTHING. Well I can be three days late in blogging it. Is anyone counting? The numbers are there in […]

Today the Best Dog Ever* turns eleven or as Lorne Green would calculate “that’s 80 for you and me” — depending on your calculation. I always went with human years * 7 plus 3. I math digress. Felix is older but not old. I adopted him in April 2016 from the Humane Society in Payson, […]
Based on true gardening events! Almost a year ago Hope was planted in the garden. Hope came in a bag of maybe 20 or 30 more equal sized seeds of Hopes. I imagine somewhere the place where Hope is growin in megasized amounts, truck loads, train loads, one after another, from somewhere not far but […]
You can’t click without hitting the proclamations of the web being dead/useless/broken/unusable. Why the web is bad? What happened to the web? And no shortage of Dead Internet Theories.
