I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

SPRING: 9 Jalal 177 (16 April 2020)
O my Lord! Make Thy beauty to be my food, and Thy presence my drink,

*Yawn* MY THOUGHTS

I always want to sleep. *Sleep*

*Mountains* WEATHER (April 15)

*Snow2* 2°. 10 a.m. in Missoula. White, no color.
*Rain* 31°. 10 a.m. in Nicoya, Costa Rica. Buffalo. The rains mark the end of Dry Season (verano).
*Sun* 19°. 6 p.m. in Cape Town. I was there 5 years ago today.
*Cloud* 12°. 1 a.m. in Tokyo.

*FlowerW* IMAGES

It rained over night with actual puddles! Then it turned to slush and heavy snow. Now the snow sifts lighter but it's white with clouds thin enough to make skies shine bright white.

*Chicken* POULTRY


Today's poem: "April 15 poem--leave something unresolved in a poemOpen in new Window.

Yesterday's poem: "April 14 poem--"break" a sonnet somehowOpen in new Window.

*Pig* PORK

Drawing on my roots:

*Reading* READING

Novel: In the meantime by Robin Lippincott, page 42
Poetry: Local Visitations, Stephen Dunn, page 43.

*AsteriskBr* QUOTE

"...patriotism, that friend of nationalism and distant neighbor of xenophobia, now -- because of the war -- was in full hue and cry." Lippincott, page 41.

*Video* MOVIETIME

Finished Rumpole of the Bailey, volume 2.

*CoffeeO* MY LIFE

I SAW TOILET PAPER! But I didn't take my camera with me so I have no proof and I had no need of any either. I did manage to buy (cheap) bread and butter (on sale) though.

*Coffee* SENIOR CENTER and *CoffeeR* COFFEEHOUSE

Lasagna at the senior center today. I picked up two. Barely talked to anyone. Cold clammy weather. Pots of coffee at home.

*CountryUS* O PINIONS!

I'm not a true patriot: "a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors." I am quite willing to point out flaws and don't think of people of other nations as enemies. I'm merely human on a small insignificant planet that happens to be the only one I know. I will defend it against those blind patriots who by word and action care little about its destruction.

*Suitcase* TRAVEL

Photos of the airport in Singapore with a display of orchids makes me want to go there. Five years ago I was on my way from Melbourne to Cape Town. A brutally long flight I have no intention of doing again.

*Cow* WATT'S GNUS

Missoula taking advantage of traffic lull for street work
Missoulian, Kim Briggeman

Well it does make sense. They say that potholes are less this year but paving when there's traffic is a yearly problem. May as well take advantage of the lull! Too bad they aren't working on the bridge ... that's another issue.

Biden's Biden: How the former VP is approaching his running mate search
NBC News, Mike Memoli and Marianna Sotomayor

It does make sense to have someone you can work with who will tell you privately that you're full-of-shit. *Laugh* An approach I should have used with a former boss. But also, someone who can step in and do the job.

*Meh* BLOGVILLE

30DBC: Staying at Home: Wall Talk I'll pass on this prompt. The walls gave up long ago trying to talk me into uncluttering. If I won't listen they won't talk. And I live a boring life when I'm home.

I told Intuey - Blessings For 2026! Author Icon: I'm thinking of moving but ... 11 years here and although I want a yard and a garden and an open landscape ... here I sit.

I've had a big house. Smaller is better for me in some ways.

I keep promising I'll get my writings together but I need emotional support and a plan. Not happening at the moment.

Traveling is best done while you still can. I'm slowing down with age.

In response to "Apr 11 '17 Action AdventureOpen in new Window. I told bobturn:

It has a rollicking rhythm that compels one to read to the end.

Also interesting because masks do have a negative connotation in our culture. May be why people are reluctant to wear one now even when they should.
