the daily dumbrella (and ho-ho! meme), 5-29-20

Mornings north of Ruskin begin on the back porch with a cup of coffee and two cigarettes. We have nice shade from the trees (Hey, you friends!) until the Earth spins to a point when we have no shade but … voila! … we’ve got this handy and dandy umbrella left behind by Ms. Previous……

the daily gutter, 5-28-20

Every morning since we moved to our jointly-owned dwelling here in central-western-but-just-a-little-south-and-east-of-Tampa, Florida, I stand in front of the kitchen sink window and swallow my medicines. While I do this I look out and wonder about my neighbor’s rain gutter. What gutter, you say? Above the window on the right you’ll see a three foot……

It begins My Sweet Rib received her new zoom today. It’s a handsome-mobile, innit? Susan has been practicing driving up the road and down the road. Back and forth. Here and there. To and fro. Hither and yon. Hither and thither. I think you know what I’m tokkin ‘bout.   Will it end in disaster?……

the daily felling, 5-26-20

Our neighborhood woke up to these gentlemen buzz-sawing away on a tree across the way. Following modern day journalistic standards, I didn’t bother to find out why they are doing this so I’ll just throw something out there. I’m guessing the tree was a danger to this home. I don’t have the appropriate angle of……

Isaiah 55:11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;     it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,     and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

the daily 2020 – a space modesty, 5-22-20

  Well, this is on our living room floor. What is it? 1. Is it a monolith (‘mono’ meaning ‘one‘, ‘lith’ meaning ‘lith’) left here by mysterious strangers from outer-space? 2. Is it an obelisk (‘obe’ meaning ‘oboe’, ‘lisk’ meaning ‘pointed nail’) left by Australopithecines (a pop band from Australia) in the dead of night? Persistent Reader:……

WARNING! Possible graphic image below (depending on your state of mind). It’s Lockdown Day #  7-days-and-counting at pequeño hogar de sauce and as you will easily discover there are only a reasonable number of semi-interesting items to comment regarding a ~1,500 square foot condo.

the daily everything is coming along nicely (i think), 5-19-20

This morning was a big day at The Purging Lutheran’s southern outpost. My Sweet Rib had scheduled throughout the day for the fellow to come fix the ice maker, another guy to work on the air conditioner, and to have a new bed delivered in the afternoon. By the time I rolled out of bed by 9-something……

the daily first week, 5-18-20

Finally. My Sweet Rib and The Purging Lutheran made it to Florida-town, USA. Living here for the first week was a lot more difficult than I imagined. Where are the light switches and what are they connected to? There are five ceiling fans throughout and some switches turn on the lights but not the fans……

the daily tree hotchpotch and possible plant-related purge depending if i get around to it, 5-8-20

It’s common nowadays for persons in academia who find ancient markings etched upon the walls of pyramids and ziggurats to use them as ‘proof’ that what we think is true today is, in fact, false. Take for instance a few years back back when an ancient Mayan calendar was discovered and translated. It was seen……

the daily purge (hunting style) 5-6-20

the photogdúmpenbùrgerdampf continues … Sports didn’t begin with the National Football League. Games like tennis, badminton and pole throwing have been around for hundreds of years but the one Americans like best is good, ol’ American football. If you’ve followed the Green Bay Packers or the Cleveland Browns you well know you can show support……
