Thursday gleanings


Carolyn drove Ashley and Sammy to his doctor yesterday; he is in good shape and is now at nine pounds three ounces and is twenty-two inches long. Those are big gains since his last checkup two weeks ago. He is now one month old and is becoming as grouchy as his g.grandfather.

Please visit Mark’s blog and view/listen to this video.

I hate unwarranted censorship. Facebook banned me from using my account for one day because of a happy birthday video which I placed on my friend Dave’s wall; it is the same You Tube video I’ve used several times before on FB. The Facebook-Google war continues. Fuck ‘em all!

I had a good quiet birthday with plenty of greetings and well wishes from friends and family. Carolyn surprised me with a great supper of meatloaf, green beans, mashed taters, slaw, and corn on the cob; local Chucky watermelon and cantaloupe for desert. It all softened the outrageous blow of becoming another year older.

Brown leaves are beginning to cover our lawn which has almost stopped growing and is looking somewhat winter-ish. The severe heat and returning drought along with the lessening sunlight as daylight shortens are all causing environmental distress, at least as far as we mere humans are concerned.

Robins have reared their second broods of the year and are now fattening up on worms for the soon coming migration back to Tammy’s house. In just three more weeks, most will be well on their way southward. I am happy for Tammy and the people of the Gulf Coast, but the annual loss always brings a gloom over me as if a bit of my soul takes wing and journeys with the birds … never to return.

Sam and Dave video dedicated to my friend, Bro. Steve Hill; he loved this soulful duo. Can you see how much the Blues Brothers were influenced by these guy’s stage show?

The reason Mark’s comments on this blog have to be approved by me is because I have my security set to where a person must be identifiable or their comments will not display without my approval. The cure is for Mark to get a WordPress account. However I don’t mind approving his comments if he wishes not to create an account; it is a hassle to get anything done on the web.

Have a Thursday of happy consequences, my friends.

Silly silly Facebook. I guess you will be really sad about not being able to get there to tell your friends how your pedicure went.

Yes I have so many comments to mark as spam when they come to my email for 'moderation'. It sure is a pain in the butt and waste of time. I can't see any of that crap making anyone any money. For instance, the guy with the back links ad on the comment here, does not even know how to make a hot link.

Sammy is doing great!

Happy birthday, on here too. Sounds like you had a nice day.

I am probably one on FB's most innocuous users but I feel blessed that I have been chosen to screw with.

This other commenter's failure to know the basics of html doesn't bode well for the type of "service" he claims to provide.

Thanks, my friend. It was a rather quiet day and that made it a good day.
