A Day of Rest
With the excuse of possible rain, and an actual need to let my old body recuperate, I took today off from my usual stuff. It is Sunday after all, not that Sunday has religious significance for me any more, it is still a designated “day of rest.” I have so much to be grateful for, […]
Continue ReadingAll Saints Day, and The Stupid Time Change
Today secular society celebrates(?) Halloween, but let’s not forget that November 1st is All Saints Day too. Where we remember our dead, which is also our future. As mortal animals, we don’t like to “think” about being dead, let alone dying. But just remember, it is life that is suffered, not death. What comes next? […]
Continue ReadingA Cold Front in Tampa?!?!
Okay, its October 30th, 2020, so colder weather in North America isn’t normally a thing. But this is Tampa, Florida. Yesterday it got to 90 plus degrees Fahrenheit, 75% humidity. And today we only got to 80 degrees, Fahrenheit, with 60% ish humidity. Nice! And tonight? Well break out the blankets! Its going into, the […]

I got a bunch of stuff done today, that I’ve been wanting to finish all year. And I’ll have another done tomorrow morning. I had to wait though, to get what I needed to finishing these things. And now they are memories of things done, that I can forget about. For the sake of planning […]

As much as we’d like to predict the future, and have plans work out as predicted, and be able to predict everything that’s going to happen in life, well, we can’t. If you look closer at such an expectation, you’ll see how silly it is. But that doesn’t keep us from being upset about being […]
Continue ReadingPolitics Versus Reality
Politics is always about doing the wrong thing. Violence. Violence is deception (lies), manipulation (social programming) and physical altercation (political minions). These are the tools of politics, including the practice of legal, organized crime. You know, politics. Reality though is none of these. Reality is what it is regardless of what we think it is, […]
Continue ReadingRespecting Other People’s Values
It is normal and natural for me to judge everything by my own values. Not best, not even advisable, but certainly normal and natural, to do so. Which is a mistake, because values are free to differ, and do differ, from person to person. It is value that determines right and wrong, propriety. There are […]
Continue ReadingA Great Day In The Yard
I got a great deal of prep work done in the yard today. Got the parts I needed to fix my tiller, fixed my tiller, tilled three beds, which are now ready for planting—though if I can get a deal on compost, I’ll put that in first. Soon my fall/winter planting will be in place, […]
Continue ReadingWhat to say?
Ever find yourself at a loss for words, or even an idea for words? Being a bit tuckered out, I’m at a loss for something “brilliant” to say, or at least something that passes as brilliant, so far as I can tell. I’m committed to publishing everyday though, so this is the very point at […]
