Reminisence

Remember those days... Playing with mercury in class, lawn darts, candy cigarettes, the U-238 Atomic Energy Lab, the Johnny Reb 30-inch authentic Civil War cannon...

Monday's Missives

• This evening (today is 06/29/2016) on the way home from work I saw a lady hanging onto a post that supports a guardrail on I30. She was leaning impossibly out toward the Interstate. She was absolutely hammered. If she is still alive; I hope in the morning she reconsiders her life choices- all of them.
• Yesterday I saw a guy broke down on the side of the same Interstate. Today he was broken down again within 5 miles of where he was yesterday. That sucks. I hope tomorrow is a better day for him.
• Day before yesterday a patient informed me he has become homeless. I handed him a few bucks and wished him the best. He nearly started bawling.
• My last girlfriend is sitting maybe 15 feet away from me in a lounger by the pool. We are good- there is no hate but it is a sort of two ships passing in the night thing. Just some weeks ago there was  time together- some plans; now she has her crowd over there. I have you dear reader.
• There has been a lot of reality for me in the past few days.
• She just glanced over her shoulder and smiled at me.
• I am listening to The Melvins on Pandora. They are the only band I can think of off the top of my head I would like to own everything they have ever done. INXS, Joy Division and New Order are others.
• Former GF and her friend are taking selfies together and laughing too hard at each others lame jokes. She is trying to make me jealous. It isn't working.
• OK- I give up- I'm going in hot.... If I don't come out alive- tell ma I loved her and I died a hero.
• Gov't Mule covers Etta James I'd Rather Go Blind
