What I Did Today
Laundry.
Bills.
Took Grandmom to the pharmacy and grocery store.
Oh yeah! Went to visit Kim and Mike and Hannah.
YAY HANNAH!
Sunday Flower Pr0n
Not much but sunflowers.
But the sunflowers do look really nice.

WVU vs Villanova
It’s the last Saturday in August in Morgantown, so that means it’s a Mountaineer game!
My morning was so bad I came home and went back to bed. (I rushed to get things together, only discover that the post offices in Star City and Morgantown are CLOSED. This does NOT make me happy.)
Now the skies have [...]

Why I Hate the Dominion Post (cont.)
The local news paper, referred to often as the Diminishing Pest, is most likely the worst paper in WV.
Why?
Yesterday, on the 45th anniversary of the March on Washington and of Martin Luther King Jr’s seminal “I Have a Dream” speech, Barak Obama was nominated as the first black presidential candidate for a major party [...]
Friday Cat Blogging
Why won’t this weirdo leave me alone?
Stop invading my privacy!

Too Much Loot?
(Amazon, Amazon, Baker’s Catalog, Origins, Nathan, Aveda, Janiece, Amazon, Amazon, Amazon)
It’s been awhile since we went to the recycling center. And it’s been almost as long since I did more than pitch empty boxes down the stairs and then kick them out of the way when I went by.
Luckily, I had a better solution that [...]
Forty Five Years Ago
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope [...]

New Blog Widgets
Now that I got the sidebar widgets working, I’ve been playing with some of the different widgets available.
I really like the new tag cloud. It’s kinda fun.
Cueca Solo
I listen to the news when I walk after work. I just like knowing what’s going on in the world, and the news gives me something to focus on other than how tired I am of walking in circles.
There was a horrifying segment on mass graves in Iraq. Over 7000 missing persons reports were filed [...]
Just Because
Because the post that is going to go up one minute after this was is depressing, here’s something a little more cheerful.
How can a happy cat not make you feel just a tiny bit better?

Speaking of Puppies…
Well, someone was somewhere.
A puppy mill in Parkersburg was closed and 1000 dogs and puppies have been rescued and are looking for adoption.

ADDENDUM the First:
My sister-in-law sent me pictures of some of the puppies.
Tasty Tuesday: Bourbon Peaches
The grocery stores have local peaches now, so I had to pick some up. Since we grilled out on Saturday, I decided to make bourbon peaches. In theory you make them in the oven, but they’re perfect to put on the grill to cook while you’re eating dinner.

Conventional
FYI, Wabi-Sabi is live blogging the convention from the WV delegates section.
ADDENDUM the First:
Defective Yeti is also live blogging the convention. From his living room where he is ensconced with a legal beverage.
Politics, Clinton, and the Democratic Party
Here is something I will never understand…
Well, let’s take this back a bit first.
I’m a Democrat with a big D. Have been most of my life, although I admit to Libertarian tendencies. But the why is what I want to address here for a moment. I’m a Democrat because the Democratic party is the major [...]
Shawn Powers Activate!
Go vote for Shawn! I mean it! He’s beating Westley Crusher!
This Does Not Bode Well
I come in and one of the first things I discover is that one of the two computers in my office I use for tutoring sessions is totally hosed.
And I have a tutoring session this morning.
Dirge
Well, it’s Sunday night (you didn’t really think I wrote all those 8:00 AM posts that early did you?!) and I’m still tired and cranky.
Despite a long nap on Saturday and sleeping in on Sunday.
Not sure what this means for work on Monday (or today when you’re reading this) but I doubt it’s good. [...]

Bonus Cat Blogging
There’s been a cat wandering around the neighborhood all summer. She belongs to someone in the neighborhood who foolishly allows her to wander free.
Why foolishly? Because I live on a very busy road, where cars speed by day and night. Perhaps they don’t realize she wanders as far as she does. At least I [...]
Sunday Flower Pr0n
Wow. I hadn’t realized what a slow flower month August was.
