Catch 22
[clear] Catch 22 waving bye to me not long before I fled the theater my first viewing Several times last week I had an almost, not-quite exchange with laizzes-faire “well, this is unacceptable so certainly it will be taken care of blitheness”, variation of a too nonchalant “this too shall pass” which left me disoriented,…

Ezra went to war and returned from Stalag IIB
Ezra (left) went to war and returned from Stalag IIB I tend to be a day late on subject-of-the-day posts because i’m not a quick one, I have to ponder. And also the server this blog is on is iffy and sometimes I’ll write a post and punch publish and the post disappears, the blog…

For Tri-City, Washington State People – Pancake House 1967
Everyone else can say, “What do I care about an old pancake house!” and move along. This is the pancake house on George Washington Highway, 1967, in Richland, Washington. I loved that pancake house. We took a picture of it when we were leaving Richland because it was one of the favored places where the…

Mid 20th century Kansans who believed in Evolution
Here they are. Mid 20th century Kansans in Lawrence, believers in evolution. I’m the one with the recessive genes. (For some reason, my son has been begging to see pics of me when I was a baby. So I unearthed the few that I have.)

One day, Bill Frist went out to buy some shoes…
Oh, I am so in love. I can’t believe this. Picked the story up from Sarah Lee’s at Dkos. Frist goes shoe shopping at Allen Edmonds and Americans United to Protect Social Security and the Campaign for America’s Future ambush him for debate. In the meanwhile Frist is double parked and holding up traffic and…

But why wouldn’t they like you if they have nice puppets?

Growing up in the shadow of Mt. Fuji
The UN nuclear arms conference began on Monday. The countdown to midnight has been moved forward again to 7 minutes to midnight, the same setting as when the clock debuted 55 years ago. Picture on right: Hanford B reactor, source of the plutonium for Fatman. Source: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/trinity/articles/part1.html In 1960 I was three years old and…

Not a pet. Dinner
Ten pounds of these suckers went into crawfish pie that we ate and gave away to friends. One went to a Russian guitarist friend. Said he grew up eating crawfish, that they were all over Kiev. When he was traveling with the circus, when they would go to a new town, he’d walk into a…

Friday Cat Blogging on Thursday
We currently have no cat. We have not had a cat in several years, which is unusual for us as we always had cats before. I could blog about our goldfish, and perhaps will. Tomorrow, while others post pics of their current cats I’m going to perhaps post fish pics, having already written today about…

Yeah, hmmm, that flashlight trick
My son just held up up a flashlight to his right ear and asked if I could see the light coming out of his left ear. That is rather how I’m feeling.

Cobalt Skink
A friend of mine has begun blogging at Cobalt Skink. She writes some beautiful things. A nice meditation today on weeding brambles, horror vacuui, making space and space being filled.

Learning how to honor the truth by being taught how G. W. never told a lie
First off. Despite the fact I was over at Stone Bridge lamenting the fact I used to love movies and how I hate Hollywood movies and how most have no substance, I got all way too excited when I came upon Arvin Hill’s Carnival of Horrors and his profile giving him as liking “Shakes the…
