A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life.
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.

Ferry boat between Solvorn and Ornes across the Lustrafjord i Sogn og Fjordane.




I'm starting a new blog because

I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

*Grass* 30 *Rain*

Wet and green. A very cool damp spring.

Hurricane Agatha gonna hit Oaxaca... so it could be worse here... just saying.

Up before 9 in spite of the drear.

Jay Van Bavel, a professor of psychology and neural science at New York University and director of the Social Identity & Morality Lab, said it's easier to mobilize anger and hope. But anger dissipates and hope wanes. Grief is paralyzing.

The USA seems to be in deep trouble. Can't tackle violence when we glorify it, defend it and make money off of it.

5 minutes to 1. Well... took a shower. Most of my wash from yesterday has dried. I hang it up all over my two rooms.

Caught up with Portugal trip in my journal. Now to catch up with the last two weeks. *Laugh*

Prices at The Break have gone up $1. But... they were open.

*Grass* 31 *Sun*

Very green, bit of a breeze.

Got queen-size mattress and boxspring out to the dumpster... with help.

Lunch with friends. Got bbq chicken breast because I always eat thighs.

Yesterday cooked thighs in orange juice, lemon pepper, pepper, paprika. Then used the 'juices' to cook a cut-up red potato. Very tasty.

Nap. I should prolly not nap. I get all nappy.

I have 2 south facing windows. I gets hot in my room from now until September. The fan helps at night. Not being here would help more. The dust sucks out my moisture.

I'm watching "Meow Ears Up" น้องเหมียวในห้องผม. Silly but kinda cute. A cat/human changeling. *Smile* YA in many ways.

*Grass* J1 *Dropb*

June started out damp and dreary (not exactly according to the forecast). Up by 07:30? Hmm... but it's now approaching 10 and I've accomplished a couple things. Visited QOTD and posted on the Newsfeed.

Thinking of Darleen QoD: "welcome to my world that oozes green, a land of ichor and sickly things..." "wastelands of fire and eyes that burn, where maggots midst the bones now churn..."

Lunch w/ friends was a turkey-pesto sandwich. I ditched the canned pineapple.

Groceries done.

Mattress/boxspring gone. *Smile*

70 views and 7 comments in one month. Whoopee. I used to get that in one day... back in the day.

*Grass* J2 *Clouds*

Purposely slept in. Got up at 9:14.

Showered, ate yoghurt... where's my coffee...

A dog in Uvalde

He will wait at the door
until you come home.
He will wait there forever.

Time does not matter.
The scent of you will fade.
Your voice will be no more.
But he'll sit by the door
and always remember.

"Don't say I'm dead; go look for me, picking pathumma1 among the stone pillars of Chaiyaphum2." KE

Short stroll to Caras Park. Met Nate and Rose (and Rachel-of-the-swallows and Cole).

*Grass* J3 *Clouds*

Up at 08:30. Dreary. It will shower for the next three days.

Gasoline $4.64/gallon.

I suspect interest rates will need to rise to 10% to curb inflation. That and a return to taxing the wealthy. Plus, overturning Citizens United v FEC.

Since the #1 sin in America is poverty I don't expect any change of heart. I see none on the horizon.

I took a shower before going to bed. This is relevant because our facilities are cleaned at 10 on Fridays and therefore temporarily unavailable (one floor at a time). It's 09:55.

Pride weekend starts today. *Rainbowl**Rainbowr* It may rain on the parade.

Played cribbage with Laxmi. Fish for lunch. *Fisho*

Someone wakes me up from my nap by moving furniture?

*Lightning3*

Ah... petrichor perfumes the cobwebs of this old dusty place...


Julian's boyfriend is going to a wedding so we're going to the parade together tomorrow. *Rainbowl**Rainbowr*

My Muse seems to be back in town, by-the-way.


*Rainbowl* J4 *Rainbowr*

Drear, drear, drear. There will be dust and drought, and scorching sun, but not today.

Nice chat with Dylan's Aunt Donna yestereve. Her Brooklyn accent was soothing.

Up at 08:30. Will coffee wake me up?

Pride parade. There was a great turnout in the rain. One thousand? More? Not feeling peppy today. I didn't join in and in spite of a cherry pastry and a milkshake I may need to go home.

Saw Julian, Birgit, Cathy Mae...

Glad I got out but the outing exhausted me. Tonight... think I'll enter Bard Contest (travel) and Journalistic Intentions (tropes). I'll also try posting a poem/day at Express it in Eight... but not necessarily following the prompt.

As for travel plans... It's expensive to travel out of small airports like MSO. Can't even reasonably take train (there is none) or bus (10+ hours to SEA; 24+ to MSP). May have to get creative.

*Grass* J5 *Clouds*

08:48. Sipping coffee.

I usually check the news and weather. Will we have an interesting hurricane season? Will the January 6th commision provide lightning? Will I need to take a nap this afternoon?

Ah... TS Alex headed towards Bermuda. Someday we'll have a TS Eliot.

Rain forecast on-and-off all day today and possibly tomorrow. 54 degrees at 9. Won't get warm.
