Happy Caturday, July 2021 edition: the Miami Condo Story
It should be making the rounds today and in light of all the bad news going around with that condo collapsing in the Miami area, it’s great to finally discover one family had a happy ending despite losing their home. … Continue reading
Hopefully the Delta Strain won’t ruin this hope
Rumor has it that these are back at Costco and HEB. I refuse to shop at Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club so I have little idea. Fingers crossed but it looks doubtful. Los Angeles is back to wearing masks indoors, even … Continue reading
Shooting on Sixth Street, obviously I’m OK
We found out this morning since it was all over the local news via our devices. Hell, it made the front page of The Guardian. Thankfully nobody of the 13 victims have died and the suspected shooter remains at large. Of … Continue reading
Sadly, under 40% of Texas is vaccinated
This illustration works in a couple different ways. How stupid the “natural immunity” crowd is, proving that Dr. Toupée Paul went into politics in Kentucky because he is a shitty doctor. He makes Dr. Nicke Riviera a Nobel winner. The … Continue reading

Kitchen is now done, or at least “boy clean”
Operation: Manhattan continues to roll on! I finished the other half of my kitchen by cleaning the stovetop, the remaining cabinet, organized the coat closet, more dishes and then some. I will have to hire someone to do that deeper … Continue reading
Another nudge toward defeating chaos
The Memorial Day weekend was put to good use as I tackled the space over the dishwasher, the area where I store the cat food and the biggest undertaking…cleaning out the microwave. The ex was quite a piggy here. She … Continue reading
Summer 2021 officially begins!
In my opinion, it began a couple days ago when I made some kids and their parents laugh while signing Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out” song at Lowe’s. But as per the Midwest tradition, Memorial Day weekend is the kickoff. School … Continue reading
Before & After – The Dining Area
Last year I initiated Operation: Manhattan, made only five entries about how I cleared up the master bedroom (now about half undone) and some progress on the guest bathroom. Then…it fizzled out as I got sidetracked with my last entry being … Continue reading
What CV-19 testing feels like
I received my second Moderna shot three weeks ago but this reminded me of what CV-19 testing feels like! Well, the first time I was tested last year when the pandemic had more mystery, paranoia and fear around it. My … Continue reading

It won’t be long before my employment at Apple exceeds the duration between my birth and graduating from university, the latter action saying I’m no longer a probationary adult. Like last year, it’s a bit of a pisser thanks to … Continue reading

Back to normal completely!
With shot number two earlier this week, I could follow through on the second part I wanted to do…cut my hair back to what I normally look like. It had about 13 months and the place I used to go … Continue reading
Yes (Again)! Now to wait two weeks!
At last! I received my second dose of Moderna to get me out of the woods. Austin’s rollout for the second round was pretty different. Not only did I have to drive further south, I had to stay in my … Continue reading

Finally! Austin Public Health followed through yesterday to inform me that I’m scheduled for my second Moderna shot. With it, I will soon be invincible! Mwah ha ha! There was some fatigue on the first evening so I’m hoping my … Continue reading
