I have a new blog site that I manage myself.. I am becoming more proficient at this computer stuff.. Please visit me at my new blog for some continuing humurous insights http://thebigempty.wordpress.com
Over the past few months I have had some health problems with two unecessary (in my opinion) hospital stays. Hospitalization tends to knock my butt in the dirt. The only highpoints were the times that I would find notes in my bed from the nursing staff saying how much they liked my legs. I will get back in the swing of things. It would help if readers would comment on my efforts to make you smile.
On Tuesay I received an unsolicited package from mainland China. It was sent ‘Express Mail’ directly to me. It is about the size of a Kleenex box No way in hell am I going to open it….Does anybody want it. You can keep whatever is in it.
Our seven year old grand daughter and five year old grand son are going to stay with us for two weeks this month. They live in Virginia. Their dad…my son has given me some severe strictures as to what they can and can’t do while here. So I am going to have my grandaughter call the dad….she is very good at histrionics….and say excitedly….”Daddy, Poppa took me up into mountains last night and I killed a bear with a knife”. That should really light him up.
As 0f 1 January….the ‘Big Empty’ has gotten 3.25″ of moisture. The wind has howeled for days. Southeast here there was a 10,000 acre grass fire.
My younger son is selling his house in Virginia. The family wants to move closer to school and work. You can see the great house at www.813klinect.com Somebody buy it.
….your holiday mail contains more doctor’s bills than Christmas cards.
Never, EVER, order clam chowder in a hospital cafeteria in Pueblo, Colorado.
Longtime readers are familiar with my efforts to get a back-up generator installed….including me exercising supreme restraint in not hitting the dealer, Rich Hefty, with a shovel. By some bizarre coincidence it seems that since I’ve had the generator installed that the commercial power source has been extremely dependable. Consequently if I compare the cost of the generator with the hours used the cost per hour is pricey. Luckily we had a heavy snowstorm today and we had two power outages of two hours each. That dropped my cost of generated power to around $1,500.00 per hour.
Looking westward out of my patio door I can see the front range of the Wet mountains. Tall pines and spruces intrerspersed with dazzling patches of autumn gold Aspens and deep red patches of scrub oak. I look for hours through the clear mountain air. Breathtaking.
