Nuts. I hoped that the printer/scanner would work after unplugging it and hooking it up to a different computer. But no. Do you remember that Kids in the Hall episode when the car won’t crank and they try “everything,” kicking the tires, painting the car…we used to do that to our lawnmower as a joke…

Dang, I can’t believe that I just got flamed off a list called “Art and Soul.” Must be those hot unresolved artistic passions. I admit that I don’t have much patience for rudeness, which is why I don’t stay long on many lists or blogs with frequent troll visits. It still won’t stop me from…

I just got this in my daily email plea for money from Obama: When we won Iowa, the Clinton campaign said it’s not the number of states you win, it’s “a contest for delegates.” When we won a significant lead in delegates, they said it’s really about which states you win. When we won South…

I hate shopping. I really do. Uh, unless it is for books or art supplies. Or food at the farmer’s market. Or pottery. Okay, let me rephrase that. I hate shopping for clothes and shoes. I really do. Today was awful – we stopped by Sears during lunch and I tried on bras. I didn’t…

Okay, things are getting a little dead around there, so let’s liven it up. First of all, near the bottom of the sidebar are some good tunes for you to listen to while you’re reading. I planted tomato and artichoke seeds this afternoon. The artichokes are “Violetto” from Pinetree from last year. Since I have…

Well, let’s see. What’s left to say. I’m really just killing time because I’m half asleep and don’t want to face the world yet. We didn’t take the TV. That sucker was HUGE. We hauled it to someone else’s house who wanted it. I’m glad that Sandy didn’t insist upon keeping it. That may have…

Eww, the cream is a bit off. Until I pick up my milk I guess I’ll have to drink it black. My raw milk source is getting nervous again because a lot of new people have been approaching them about it. Goes to show you that farmers could sell this product if our state government…

A 2008 Honda Fit Sport. “Blackberry pearl” color. Nice stereo with MP3 plug-in. Cruise control. I’m financing $10K on it. Will probably pick up Monday or Tuesday from Burlington Honda. We will trade in the SUV, and we’ll probably drive this Fit until it dies, just like the 1992 Tercel! Savings = gone. I’ll try…

I know that there is little point in dreading the weather, but tomorrow is supposed to be very windy and rainy. I have visions of chasing my greenhouse across the yard in the cold rain. I went out and stomped the stakes down as best I could, and that’s all I can do, I guess.…

The new phone book’s here! The new phone book’s here! Hopefully I’ll be able to get quotes from The Jerk out of my head soon. I’ve only seen it, oh, probably two dozen times. But it feels apt because I got my shipment from Joann’s today. It was a slam damn gorgeous day too, and…
