Old and Decrepit →
I once worked in a nursing home that was ancient. I mean really ancient. And it looked like a haunted house. Probably because it was. Haunted that is.
The interior wasn’t much better than the…
Travel Trauma →
With Daisy Fae’s recent posts in mind, and Dolce’s post from this morning, I thought I would add a list of the problems encountered traveling while disabled. I know that travel these days,…
Puppy Love ? →
The headlines scream, 600 dogs rescued, 80% are pregnant. And I’m appalled. Totally appalled. Mostly because I know how much work 100 dogs is. We used to have about that many when I worked in…
Sunshine and Shadows →
The sun shone today, at least it did after noon. Before that we were socked in with fog for the umpteenth day. This high pressure system is supposed to move out tonight, thank heavens. The air…

Mercury Retrograde →
Yes, Mercury is retrograde until February 1, according to the astrologers. A bad time for communications or travel, as they may go awry. Or not. But it’s also a time to hunker down and…
Humor Me Here →
I have spent the weekend laughing. Laughing out loud, and sometimes almost literally ROFLOLPIP. What brought this on, you may ask? It’s simple, I did something I don’t recommend anyone with a job…

Windows 7
I love XKCD. I have it on my reader, so that I get the new cartoons. With the announcement of Windows 7 at the Consumer Electronics Show this week, there has been…
Floods, Avalanches, Mudslides →
Well, that’s all the news from Washington State. If you must see the news you can try here and here. It looks like I-5 could be closed for several days from the flooding. This is THE major…
Rain, Rain, Go Away! →
Yeah, I know, I’m never happy. But we are in the midst of a pineapple express, which means warm winds and lots and lots of rain. Like 10″ in the mountains. Which will melt all that snow we just…
