I know I always get my political advice from 18 year old drugged out millionaires, lol.

 

I’m wondering why a store says they open at 10 but the mall they are in doesn’t open until 11.

 

I'm kinda worried about Mayling. These fires have been brutal and she's right in the danger zone.

 

What makes a stupid mother fucker think he can do this?

 

What happened to HAPPY CHATS! - stillswinging?
Did he strike out, or what?

 

I think it's time to watch Zardoz again... but it's never on cable... maybe check Netflix (bound to be disappointed).



It may be the only movie ever where you get this kind of wardrobe for Sean Connery...

 

If you get sent to prison they always say hit the biggest person there? I bet the biggest person gets a bit sick of that?..

 

That Teriyaki Salmon I cooked was delicious!!!

 

UPDATE ON BIG MEDICINE FIREWORKS

I bought about $100 worth and I estimate I've still have about $25 left. So a couple of the grand kids showed up yesterday and brought their parents with them. C Note wanted to start a fire and I said cool we would build it in the same cast aluminum chiminea that burned a Shaolin priest brand into his hands when he was two years old.

And I told him I had just the thing. Grandma had racked up as whole bunch of dead grass, weeds, leaves, and dog shit which I was supposed to take to the doomster because burning days where you could just burn yard debris in the open were over. So while grandma and no one else was looking help grandpa pitch that pile in the chimenaia and then you light it. You know .... plausible deniability.

And by the time the adult supervision came out we had a fire shooting a foot above the chimney.

Then the wind picked up, the lightening flashed, and the thunder rolled. Yeah sure we have seen that before. The last time it really rained was mid June. But C Note said with his connection to the earth he could bring rain instead of just wind, lightening and thunder. C Note focused his being mightily. And he brought it. I'd say it was between a 3 and 6 inch rain meaning how far the drops were apart.

I got the bright idea of remembering the fire works and told C Note what he needed was more phosphorous and iodine crystals in the atmosphere. And I didn't know if the three foot colored sparklers had any of those or not but we should light them anyway to try and find out.

The next wave of wind, thunder, and lightening came through but this time it had enough rain to send us running for the house. But only for a couple minutes and then it was gone.

C Note wanted to check the fire but actually wanted to check grandpa's stash of fireworks in the garage. "What are these." he asked me. "Roman Candles," I said.

Well it just made sense you know if the sparklers worked to bring rain Roman Candles that shot way up higher in the sky would work better. I had about a pack and a half of them and we took them to the fire. They are bigger, brighter and make lots of noise. And the way you can tell is C Notes older sister put down her phone and came out to shoot them off too.

And while we were out there they said how cool it was we could legally shoot off fireworks in our town. And I said it was only legal on the Fourth of July. And so they wanted to know what the chances of getting busted were. And I pointed with my Roman Candle kitty corner to the street and fired one off in the direction of that house and said "as long as the mayor" and swung over across the street to that house and fired one off "and the cops don't know we are doing it I think we will be fine."

Not wanting a criminal record they ran back in the house.

We smelled it first. The wind hit and we heard a tree branch crack and fall. Lightening knocked out the power but lit up the inside of the house. And then the grand kids swore it was raining and I called bullshit lets go see. We ran back outside and they said they were getting wet and I said its not raining until its running down your back

Ok I lost my bullshit on that one and after a few minutes we had to run back inside soaking wet. All a small price to pay for even a cruel rain. And being Big Medicine.

 

I found my spirit animal.

 

When your fountain pen runs dry....its the end

 

If someone is running through your mind, is it okay to stick out your foot, and trip them?

 

The store has been out of my body wash which sucks because I’m allergic to a lot of things. I found one I’m not allergic to. It smells good but dries out my skin. I found another that kinda burns but I don’t think I’m allergic to it. It doesn’t dry out my skin but I don’t like the way it smells. Ok cry baby moment over.

 

I wrap my jewelry gift boxes up in silk ribbons when I ship out an order, and my cats are crazy for them. I have to lock them up or they’ll break into my ribbon drawer and chew them all up. I wonder if it’s all cats who like silk, or just mine. They don’t care too much about regular ribbon.

 

That's too bad about Frankie Banali, I loved his drum sound.

 

I’m tired of the word zoom.

 

Like, why are there so many weekends in a month after retirement? There used to be so few when I worked.

 

If I have to think of something to say in "Random Thoughts", I dont think its random
