So there is Scar, not bothering anyone, just enjoying some Alone Time in his favorite Box. And, of course, that Damned Instigator, Emoci, saw how much Scar was enjoying his Alone Time in his favorite Box and decided to come and Instigate. lol #cats

4:52 A.M. on the second day of the fourth month of the third year of The Plague. It looks like it could possibly be over with soon, unless a more virulent mutation of the virus should appear. Deaths in the USA have been falling to less than 500 per day, which is still a lot of people but nothing like it was at its worst. Meanwhile, the cats don't give no fuck about it. Do you know I still have never used any hand sanitizer? And I never ran out of toilet paper? Little things…

I tried to get Scar to say 'Hello' this morning but all he would say was "Put me down RIGHT FUCKIN' MEOW hoomin!!!" #cats

Realized I was down to only 3 different strains of marijuana so I ordered a ½ ounce (14 grams) of something new. Have to drive an 80 mile/129 kilometer round-trip to pick it up, but I love legal recreational use of marijuana. And paying online is even better, I just walk in, pick up my order, and drive home, no 'wait time' involved.

Drove there, got m' weeds, took the long way home and stopped a few towns over to get my one friend in the entire world high, and got the munchies and I wanna burn down McDonald's in Flora Illinois but it ain't worth the FBI investigation so fuck 'em but...yeah. 14 grams came in at exactly $173.00 And halfway between Flora and home there's an eagle aerie that I have photographed a few times, and I saw one of the pair of bald eagles floatin' in the air about 25 m above the…

"I equate my interaction with people the same as with driving, get out of my path and off my ass and we'll get along fine." - MJR I do some of my best mind-cleaning when I'm out on the road driving alone with clear lanes. There's not much to see between Olney and Effingham and there's a whole lot of space to not see it in.

Just had a mouse episode in the house---but I don't have any mice in my house. Evidently Petey THOUGHT I needed mice (or at least A mouse) and brought one he caught out in the yard inside the house with him. Still. Alive. And when Pete would put it down it would try to run away and Pete would catch it again. And again. And again. And AGAIN. I was able to finally persuade Pete to take his toy and play with it back outside.

3:01 A.M. April 07, 2022 Yup. I've been online a few hours but haven't really had anything to say, or to make a qualifier to that statement, nothing much worth saying. But I've been thinking some about Noise and how it just doesn't seem to be what it was several months ago. But then again, I went to explore/everything and watched new users creating multiple accounts so they could give themselves hearts, which has been going on the entire time I have been here. I don't know.…

Now that is just plain weird. I was POSITIVE I deleted the Internet last night because I was tired of all the dumb stuff getting spewed out that otherwise semi-rational people would not believe but as we all know if it is on the Internet it must be true. And I figured well, if there ain't no Internet, then things can't be posted on it so nothing must be true. I mean, that is the same type of logic I appear to see there. So I sent a secret spybotmalworm off into the ether…

#PalmSunday 6:51 A.M. CDT USA April 10 2022 That last lungful of The Devil's Lettuce might have been just a wee bit too much this early in the morning. There are sumbeans of sumlight beginning to hit through the trees on a relatively clear sky. The temperature is 5 °C with a forecast of 22°C this afternoon. Nice early spring morning here. Had plans to go out last night but started yawning fairly early by 'normal' standards so I stayed home. This is what happens when you…

I should just learn to ignore this type of thing, but since Noise thinks they need to notify me about it that is rather hard some days. And that is when I just block the person. I've bitched about it before, and I'll bitch about it again. Anyone that thinks they deserve to keep 80% of a free tip they 'give' me should just hit the fuckin' road and not bother tipping me at all. I am not posting things for THEM to make money from it. And no, this is not about how much *I* make.…

I just had a Creationist argue that the Earth cannot be 4.5 billion years old because the moon would have crashed into the planet long ago if it was truly that old since the moon is slowly moving closer to the Earth each year. Which would be quite logical if it were not for the fact that the moon currently moves AWAY from the Earth approximately 1½ inch each year...

10:45 A.M. CDT USA April 14th 2022 Olney, Illinois Got the mount for my dash-cam finally and now I'll never see another interesting thing on the highway for the rest of my life. Oh well...camera was free and the mount was only $5.25 (and the camera does work properly). At least now I'll have proof of anything that happens on the road (I also put a 64G micro card in the camera so I can get hours of video driving uninterrupted). While a bit chilly still for my tastes (11 °C/51…

Well that was a complete pain in the ass to do, but I think I have 'fixed' my wallet problem. It would be SO MUCH EASIER if there were ways to contact sites for support, but...anyway, figured out how to get my wallet detached from here and create a new one (involved deleting the cookies/cache on my browser a few times) and now I no longer have an external wallet connected to my new Noise wallet. Of course, whatever was in the external wallet is now gone since the Bitcoin app…

CDT USA April 16th 2022 Olney Illinois There is an extremely gorgeous male tabby wandering the neighborhood today that really needs to find somewhere else to howl around before Scar rips it a new asshole. Scar was so determined he was going to go outside and find it that he growled and swatted at ME because I told him he needed to just stay in. lol A sunny Saturday morning, a bit on the nipply side, went out to spike a few ears of corn on the Fabled Squirrel Tree™…

But when they beg to be fed and the food in the bowl is only 30 minutes old I am NOT going to dump it out and put brand new food in it so STOP BEGGING PETEY! I hear a few species of birds outside tuning up their tweeters for the day. 30 minutes until local…

Well, I've been a part of this crypto experiment here for a year now.

Speaking of chili, the temperature outside is hovering at the freezing mark (pick yer particular unit for conversion) and Scar & Emoci both just came in because they think it is a bit nippy without their winter coats on. ☺ Just did my bi-monthly cholesterol injection, which I completely hate.

3:15 P.M. CDT USA April 20th, 2022 Olney, Illinois Since today is International Get High Day I did indeed get high today. In fact, I drove 25 miles over to Flora and got my friend high too. However, nothing worth reporting was noticed by either I or my dashcam, so there's no video link. Meanwhile, look out the window---see that kite up there? Yeah---I'm higher than THAT.

Then I find out one of the bands will be my youngest brother's band Muddy Creek & Co. Even more of a reason to come out and play around for a night.

I like food.

Took 'em 2 weeks to pick it up, then two weeks to fix & deliver it. Plus $75.00 for parts and labor, but now I can begin cleaning up the deadfall and storm damage the property has had since September of last year---and that is going to be several yard trailer's worth.

Sunday Morning 9:35 A.M.

I'd tossed it by the back door after a package arrived in it to throw away, but before I did Scar discovered it, and this is now his 2nd favorite place to be, so I just left it there for him and move it out of the way when he decides to shove it into the middle of the room. He's also scared the crap out of me once or twice when I didn't realize he was in it and he…

My Iris flowers began blooming today. Just in time, as well, since my tulips have almost dropped all their petals. Haven't had many tele-spammers lately, but today they are catching up with a vengeance, I have had 14 of them so far.
