Tomorrow (Ulp!)

“All you gotta do is jump your pogo stick to the other end of the bridge…”

Tomorrow morning the doctors will have me in for a consultation. I do wish I could skip it! “Well, first we shoot you up with poisonous chemicals, then we zap you with some radiation, and then we cut you up and yank out the bad stuff.” Honk if that sounds like something to look forward to.

Meanwhile, “Corporate” is closing down the supermarket where we’ve shopped for 30 years or more. All the others are much farther away!

Is there ever any change that’s for the better?

Yeahbut, yeahbut! They’ve got computers [plug in orgasm] that tell them exactly how much stuff they sold and how much stuff they should have sold! And you can’t argue with a computer because computers know everything!

It’s idol worship, isn’t it? We just can’t kick the habit.

I can’t bear to illustrate this content with the kind of images it demands. Here’s a nice puppy instead.

Yesterday I was so involved in trying to get my stats page fixed–and it’s still broken–that I forgot to write my weekly Newswithviews column. By the time I remembered, it was much too late. Thanks you, WordPress!

So here’s a column from eight years ago–we were already having “transgender” imposed on us back then.

But I testify to you that this was not part of the world that I grew up in! And I will not change.

And neither should you.

Losing Summer

I had to go pick up Patty’s medicine this morning, a journey of several miles that took me past a number of parks and playgrounds.

Where is everybody?

It’s a Sunday in the summer. The heat wave has broken, it’s nice outside. So where is everybody? Have we come in on the tail end of a doomsday movie?

Oh, the clink of horseshoes! The aroma of hamburgers sizzling on the grill. The crack of bat on ball. My father used to take advantage of daylight savings time to run out to Farrington Lake for a little fishing, after work. He always took us with him. I miss that!

But where is everybody? Why let this beautiful day go to waste?

I don’t know, On weekdays the main sign of life is traffic. That eases up on weekends and you find yourself driving around an abandoned landscape.

I think I’ll go back outside now.
