I am sitting in the F.Star Rio Grande, day two of time off from work. The house finally closed yesterday, and Ma’am and I moved much of the heavy stuff into Sol/Soul/Sole Casita (the name for the tiny studio apartment I am now renting.) I loved living in the South Valley, and loved even more that it had a name, Sunhaven. Thus when I first put ( Read more... ) -
Rufus red-head, our beautiful, fabulous rooster
I have a problem or a dilemma, or something. He's not a problem, but ...
I am putting out a call to anyone reading my journal... do you know of someone who would love to own a stately, fatherly, mostly calm-around-humans Rhode Island Red rooster? Gratis?
I like, no, love that rooster, but he is too much of a fellow for our four hens.Only four hens ( Read more... ) -
Cruising for comfort AND miles
Anyone out there have any first hand knowledge of cruiser/comfort bike styles? Or the Electra make of them? I've decided I need to switch my Trex for something more ergonomic and comfy if I'm going to ride at all... this old body just can't handle the "sit on top of the pedals" mountain bike much longer. Any recommendations (brand or dealer) ( Read more... ) -
Pop
From the road, part two…
First of all, a correction to yesterday’s post. I love my parents, but my mom drives me nuts.
We made it to my grandmother’s house today, but not before packing enough food to feed twenty and then making a sidetrip to pick up my mom’s older sister. By the time we four finally pulled into the driveway, I was ready to do some ( Read more... ) -

With some surprise I have discovered an unsecured wireless access to the Internet, and so, my first LJ post from afar.
It has been an exhausting day. Mom and I had to rush my pop to an emergency room due to widely fluctuating blood pressure (dizzy to the point of passing out) and I have spent most of the day there, waiting. I do believe it was ( Read more... ) -
Wingnuts
If you are alternately amused and disgusted by Fox news and the Tea-Baggers screaming on the television, take heart from Gandhi. His observation on changing the status quo (as our Prez is doing) is wonderful:
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
The ship of state is a billion trillion zillion ton ( Read more... ) -
Fire -- Spring Pan
M/s ... a most intense of relationships.
But not "a step up" some perceived ladder of BDSM hierarchies.
And like a forge, it is a fire that tempers, refines, eliminates, and purifes.
If you're looking for self-validation, you will be disappointed; it is the exploration of the deepest unraveling of the human psyche. It takes courage to untie the knots ( Read more... ) -
Serendipity, or... i'm sharing it with David Lynch.
Well, hullo world.
Today I could talk about the metaphorical surprises that have clicked into place, like the coincidence of Obama’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention being on the 40th anniversary of MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech he gave from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. I could insert another cool connection, as some ( Read more... )
