Smelling like coffee and Captain Morgan

Audio (MP3): 20170706 - Smelling like coffee and Captain Morgan

One time I was driving to work on a hot summer morning. Just like today. Hung over pretty bad and nursing a pint of rum. I was in complete agony, had a fiery headache, and starting to sweat because my truck didn’t have air conditioning. Taking shots now and then while auto-piloting the blue Ranger along the river. I needed just enough liquor to bring my headache down to a manageable level so I could make it through until lunch.

You’re preaching to the choir.

Yep 😊

There’s one thing Earthlings might learn to do, if they tried hard enough: Ignore the awful times, and concentrate on the good ones.”

This quote and the preceeding one are by Mr. Vonnegut.

I just thank God you’re alive after that horrific car accident in Ottumwa

That’s a whole other story… ;)

One I’d like to hear…

This story begins with a Jim Beam, a Coke chaser, and a drum machine. Imagine if you will…a Jamaican, new wave dance-off in the heart of Ottumwa, Iowa. A crowd of maybe 10 and I, your host, fresh from a reggae retreat on the humid beaches of Costa Rica…

That’s not quite the way I remember it

tcr! tcr! · Jul 6, 2017 at 4:55 pm

No, it wasn’t a Jim Beam. If memory serves (and it usually does) that night was the only time I willingly drank Jack Daniels. Of course, I was in pursuit of a lass and unintimidated by the Wapello dragons not uncommon to that region during those cold, wintery months.

Looking at your photos I realize that you are a wealthy man and it could all be taken away with one drink. Congratulations on a new and better life. (The easier softer way. )

Tuesday holidays are the worst.

Why you ask, intrigued?

Because the Wednesday following is like Monday all over again.

America's Future Is Texas

America’s Future Is Texas

The redistricting had a revolutionary effect. Today, the Texas delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives includes twenty-five Republicans and eleven Democrats—a far more conservative profile than the political demography of the state.

Politics are all about tactics and maneuvering.

Yes, I Iowa had its own gerrymandering problem for awhile. It’ll never go away completely without legislative reform.

tcr! tcr! · Jul 6, 2017 at 9:03 am

That Is It… (title case for a splash emphasis)

Complete reform for pretty much all parts is what we need. And until the greed and self-seeking-ness is scrubbed from humanity, I don’t know if we’ll ever get it.

Maybe that’s a little too dooms-dayer… 😉

Me: Alexa, play some 90s.

Alexa: Okay, here’s a station you might like.

Lightning Crashes by Live starts playing.

Me: No, Alexa, play some good 90s.

Lemon cake with real lemon juice and powered sugar

I love it when Maggie bakes and goes all gourmet. We went with powered sugar because that’s what the cosmos called for.
