Monthly Archives: June 2016

For the first time so far this year, the weather actually did what I predicted. Cool days/cold nights hung on so long, almost all the way through May, that I said it’ll do this until it abruptly turns hot. And … Continue reading →

Heh – yeah, faked you out. I’ve never successfully grown a garden. Sure seem to have a lot of flowers though. Every year I find new ones. Meant to take a bunch of pix of the cliff roses, which had … Continue reading →

It is absolutely mind boggling that these government pond scum hacks can get away with reporting that 484,000 people who WERE unemployed last month are no longer unemployed this month. Life is so f***ing good in this country, they all … Continue reading →

It’s a high altitude desert: Day/night temperature swings, like everything else, can be extreme. So here it is June, and I’m only now starting to go to bed with the windows open. Since Principal Seymour Skinner came to live with … Continue reading →
