tuesdae stuff
No apologies for the last couple of posts. Sad grims are just sad grims, knowing perfectly well there was the price to pay by not asking a local good fellow to do the digging was no improvement. Cookie needed her finals done by one who gave a damn. RIP ol' gal. Amazingly, the possums haven't tried to dig her up. Good, deep, cool grave.
It took a few days to get back on my pins after the way too soon heavy exercize that was quite unenjoyed. Rima has been kinda nuts (expected), gone back to puppyhood (allowed), getting spoiled royally (also expected!). The old ruined shoulder and knee, well, it became book time again. Don't read this one just after burying a friend:
Actually, most everything John D. MacDonald wrote before 1955 kinda sucks a lot. Grim. Lots of lonely death. Lots of really bad decisions. Also, a good part is quite true. When he got into his stride as a writer of fiction, the only fiction he wrote were the Travis McGee series. I've 15 of his non-TMcG, 14 of the McG. Good reads, got the 'souf down quite well. Been working my way through my crusty copies again this last Summer. Got one saved for last this pass.

Sundae kinda sucked. Knee & shoulder were doing the expected howling, attitude could have used a bit of KY to smooth out the dry spots, decided since major-league grump was humeur du jour, turned on the toob and watched "Face the Nation". What type of people elected John Fucking Kerry? That piece of shit should come down here for a few moments. My WayBack machine remembers McGovern and Jane Fonda, can't actually believe such a pile of worthless shit is allowed to suck air much less hold public office in the state that used to have so many patriots. He exposed his sorry ass in the last election. Obliviously he is without a clue what a total fool he is.
...followed this morning with Howard Dean. You've undoubtably read that idiot's crap. Jebus H., if I were a lefty lib, Mao buddy, Che supporter, I'd fucking hide from that dude. Pretend you are a Berkely commie student with a Che shirt and Howard showed up on campus. He is so screwed up everything your cell of the SDS would be shot to hell if you associated with his "visions". Chairman of the DNC? LOL!

Scanned in the covers of all my non-Travis McGee John D. novels this evening. Old cover artwork, very 50's, lots of memories!
Rima is being overfed with homemade 'good stuff', I've almost remastered the cane, the front door window has been washed with ammonia and water (do it every Fall, use nose to test outside temperatures, gets kinda spotty), 3 UPS's are up, the oven is repaired, a new design based on a piece of truly antique tech has been completed successfully, just need to figure out how to pull this tooth that is giving me a fit.
Got a very odd bit of news I'd like to post. It's so odd (gummit) that it is not actually believible. Got time tonight, may post later after playing with the calculator unless I was very wrong.
