I just canceled a dial-up account that I’ve had for nearly twenty years.
It served me thru thick and thin when all others abandoned me.
It was there for me when my current location at the time, on the AT&T coverage, read “Here be monsters!”
I’m going to miss the choice, but [...]
I have the peculiar advantage of being both isolated and insulated from the day-to-day cumulative effects of the current economic situation in the U.S. for extended periods of time, and the advantage of brief periods of exposure which demonstrate more aggressively to me than it may to others the nature of those changes.

The idea of documenting idle time? it’s amazing how one thinks more carefully about something when the intention of documenting it hangs over it like the Sword of Damocles – we will see.
I’ve always wondered if other folks wonder, at least to some extent, about the same things I do. So, perhaps a quick list of quizzical for the wonderment of all concerned:
1. Why would anyone actually want to decorate their toe-nails?
(and why would they do that to their spine!?)
2. Why is a [...]
You gotta love it when: the man who sat in the barber’s chair before you waves to the barber on his way out and says, “see you next year!”.
You will hear folks complain about a lot of things when they stay at Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, but I have never once heard anyone complain about the comfortable ring-side seats from which to watch two big guys like this square off on the front lawn.
When the first arrived there wasn’t much ado [...]
Each day, find a moment and make it your own.
It all happens so fast. It passes by you just
out of reach, all that you ever wanted just
walking by as you watch – quietly letting it go.
Each day, find a choice and make it your own.
So many [...]
For those of you who are as confused as I have been lately by the do not enter signs prominently displayed at the entrance to the HR/TRANSPORTATION turn-off (where also are displayed employee only signs – intuitively incorrect for the careful driver), relief is in sight. There are a variety of plans available in PDF [...]
Part of the subterranean water delivery system that has been providing water to maintain the illusion that there are actually true geysers in Yellowstone was unearthed today, singlehandedly, by a Montana Mom that has been held incognito here in Yellowstone for decades.
Plans are currently afoot to unmask the intricate piping system and the associated [...]
It may be that I’ve just gotten sensitive over time to the truly obnoxious nature of close quarters discourtesy; but somehow walking backwards into someone in a crowded hotel lobby doesn’t seem forgivable as an honest mistake. First, it’s an action based on the assumption that no one is in the lobby with you, therefore [...]

There grows a rose
Twixt Satan’s toes
It toils in soil unaware.
For Pandemonium’s dayIt holds its sway;
In a shadow’s shadow it
