Storms
Last week was stormy. Snow all over the place. We got ours in Wisconsin earlier this week. The lower Midwest and East Coast got hit hard with snow in the past couple of days. And then there’s the shit storm in Minnesota, but I would sooner argue about Jesus than ICE. It all comes and…

Nosebleeds
The house is warm and dry. That is a good thing now that Wisconsin is heading into winter. But furnace air has the side effect of occasionally giving me nosebleeds. Today I got a nosebleed. It wasn’t entirely the air’s fault though. I was trolling trolls on Facebook. That made me dysregulated and edgy. I…

Final Harvest 25
Winter is coming to Wisconsin. The garden is empty and this is the result. The carrots and tomatoes did well. Stephanie got one squash. The corn and beans were lost. Our lives as a piece of art.

My favorite weather is 70 degrees fahrenheit and overcast. That’s spring weather here. Those days remind me of my year in…

Global Mean Temperature
How do you feel about cold weather? Here in Wisconsin the weather can get very cold. While I would rather be inside when it does the cold has its advantages. There’s a meme that goes around with pictures of huge snakes, spiders, and alligators. The caption is “This is why I live where the air…

A Flock of Sparrows
I am sitting in my living room looking out the front window. There are two evergreen bushes outside with one on either edge of the window. In those bushes is a flock of sparrows. I like to watch them pick at the top of the bushes and fly up down and through the open space…

Road Trips
Think back on your most memorable road trip. When I was ten my parents moved the family from Michigan to Maryland. At Thirteen we moved to Wisconsin. For about the next ten years (on and off) our family would ride a round trip of those three places usually stopping to see relatives as well. My…
