Aug 26 The Eye Doctor

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes. Jim Carrey I made it to the eye doctor. Apparently all the things I was worried about were not a problem. My eyesight is better than average.

Aug 24 Foggy Day In Vietnam

  The weather and my mood have little connection. I have my foggy and my fine days within me; my prosperity or misfortune has little to do with the matter. Blaise Pascal I don’t know if we had frost, I woke too late to see, but it could have happened. The grass was certainly wet…


Aug 23 Frost huh

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. J. R. R. Tolkien Today is the first frost warning of the season. Yuck. It is not really a big deal for me no garden…

Aug 19 Oak & Tyranny

There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice. Montesquieu So why do I write in here? Maybe it’s for my future when my memory isn’t as sharp, maybe it is simpler than that. Maybe just a way to stay sane in…


Aug 18 Lists

I asked a friend how she stayed so organised. She said lists. So I said you write things down on a list. She answered yup then I throw them into a drawer and never look at them again. I kept eye contact and  slowly backed out of the room Words of Rod Just a todo…


Aug 17 Smoke Cubes

I think there will be more smiles when the smoke clears. Shaun Alexander The smoke is so thick you can cut it into cubes. Not far off really. None of the weathers services, including the government, caught it. The wildfire smoke from BC has drifted on the jetstream right into my area again. I am…
