I had to leave the outskirts of Dunwich today early and only got back in the early afternoon.\u00a0 Things were going well when I got a call from Camera Girl stating that her old Toyota Corolla refused to bring her home and she needed a lift home and AAA to send a tow truck (or as the locals call it a \u201cwrecker\u201d).<\/p>\n
Well, what can you do?\u00a0 When it rains it pours and so instead of getting down to writing I had to get Camera Girl home and supervise the overhauling of her stalled chariot.\u00a0 So here it is after 4pm and I haven\u2019t got a sentence of creative writing to call my own.\u00a0 Just this sad story about a sad story.<\/p>\n
But there was a bit of human interest even in this prosaic event.\u00a0 When the tow truck showed up the driver was a little laconic for Camera Girl\u2019s liking.\u00a0 Apparently, she belongs to the \u201ccustomer\u2019s always right\u201d school of automotive services.\u00a0 And during our ride home she railed against the young fellow and demanded that he shouldn\u2019t get a tip.<\/p>\n
I reminded her that today it was 83 degrees out there and a tow truck guy by the end of the day is pretty tired and on a hot day probably a little irritable.\u00a0 And not everyone is super chatty and chirpy at their work.\u00a0 And sure enough, after the fellow performed all his work and delivered the car expertly and without incident, I handed him the tip and he thanked me profusely and shook my hand vigorously.\u00a0 And he said getting a tip was a big deal for him.\u00a0 What do these women know of the real world that men live in?\u00a0 Nothing!<\/p>\n
So even though the day is consumed and I have no output of any kind, save for this slender reed of a story.\u00a0 I am unperturbed.\u00a0 My morning\u2019s expedition was a rousing success.\u00a0 The outcome of this mission was the best possible one and now Camera Girl and I will celebrate with forbidden foods.\u00a0 Pasta and sausage and meatballs and garlic bread will be consumed and afterward there will be Italian cheesecake and ice cream.\u00a0 So, there will be great rejoicing at the Compound and the peasants will rejoice.\u00a0 Huzzah!<\/p>\n
Later on, I will catch up on my photos and quotes and songs for the day and read some of the news of the day.\u00a0 Apparently artificial intelligence is on everybody\u2019s mind right now.\u00a0 Honestly, I\u2019m hoping that at some point natural intelligence will resurface on this planet.\u00a0 We\u2019re being led to Armageddon by morons.\u00a0 It\u2019s morons leading morons as far as the eye can see.\u00a0 Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsome and on and on and on.<\/p>\n
At what point will any of these people be held accountable for the horrendous train wreck they\u2019ve made of this country?\u00a0 Does this go on until we\u2019re starving and freezing in the streets?<\/p>\n
The only solace I can take is that for a huge number of people all of this is common knowledge.\u00a0 None of them hold Joe Biden in high esteem.\u00a0 If the next time he falls down the steps of Air Force One he manages to kill himself no one will shed a single tear.\u00a0 In fact, there will be hilarity and mockery for months.\u00a0 Of course, the joke will be on us because then Cackling Harris would be the Commander in Chief and that would definitely end in a nuclear holocaust.<\/p>\n
Well, I\u2019m digressing away from the point.\u00a0 Tonight, is a night of celebration.\u00a0 No more talk of Biden or auto repair bills or anything depressing.\u00a0 So, I\u2019ll try to catch up on things tonight and tomorrow but this is just how things sometimes go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
