New Zealand Atrocity

Well, the last 12 hours have not been good for New Zealand. Mass shooting. I’m at a loss for words, I have all kinds of thoughts, across a broad spectrum, usually followed by “Is that how I feel? That’s not right.” Then I think something on the other end of the spectrum followed by “Is that how I feel? That’s not now I feel either.”

I don’t care what someone’s religion is, as long as they don’t fuck with other people. But if they fuck with other people, they need to be dealt with. I doubt the people in those Mosques were messing with anyone.

I’ve always thought I had prejudice concerning people from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Maldives and that general area. I seem I like them all. I like the way they talk, and I like the way they think, in that, when I’m talking to them, it’s enjoyable to me.

I never wondered if they were Hindu, Muslim, or any other religion, I have always liked them, primarily, I guess, because of their accent . I got a feeling of emotion, hearing the survivors and witnesses talking on the radio news this morning, because they sound like people I’d like.

Hopefully it’s all over and never happens again.

Happy Friday, have a great weekend.

I’m Everybody’s Cash Cow

Yesterday I set a new record for sitting in a dentist chair. 3 hours, 20 minutes. It was not pleasant. Over $1800 out of pocket. Went in for a filling and ended up with a root canal. And don’t ask me the details, I’m not going to explain it in the comments section. I knew it might not be filling-able shortly after he started. I maxxed out my health insurance long ago.

Trying to get the building permit for our room adddition. Every month, the architect calls with some new, additional fee. This month it’s $164 for EEI or IEE or some such nonsense.

I’m getting tired of it. There’s no way to check the validity of everyone’s claims.

Get me to the weekend!

Over and OUT!

Overflowing Wood Wednesday

I saw this old tree trunk in the parking lot next door from where I work. I thought it was quite fantastic. The wood seemed to fill he curb to overflowing. Pity someone saw fit to cut down the tree.

All the trees along this line were cut down because there was power lines going through. What a waste of a cool tree. Many cool trees.

Have a great day!

Golaith, On Amazon.

Happy Tuesday! It’s morning here, made my lunch already, drinking coffee and posting a post. Same as very weekmorning.

This morning, I put th coffee on th stove, started making my lunch, and realized that I hadn’t turned the stove on. Coffee not goin’ So I turned it on, and you know, my precise schedule was disrupted.

The wife and I have been watching a TV show on Amazon called Golaith. It is pretty good. About an old lawyer who has seen better days. Worth a watch. We’re on episode 3 (I think) and it’s a little guy takes on big guy and wins typa thing.

I guess that’s about all I for my post today. I’m seeing the dentist today, and seeing the dentist tomorrow…

Have a great day!

Mixing Old Paint

It was a nice weekend. Saturday, I added a shelf to the wife’s screen house. I am pleased with how it came out. The wife is too. I painted it (before I installed it) with some old oil base primer that I had. It was very old, and I didn’t think it was going to mix. An inch below the surface, it was pretty solid. I mixed it with one of those mixers that go on your electric drill, and when I painted it on, it was very thick, it had the consistency of whip cream.

The Screen House, which you’ve seen before.
The shelf, see the yellow arrows.

We went to a friend’s swimming pool, and I put the new camera housing in the water for the first time, without the camera. I guess now I’m ready to take the camera underwater.

Sunday, didn’t do much, I took a nap, highlight of the day.

This week I have two dental appointments, almost done!

Have a great week!

Fri- hi- day!

It’s Friday, and I’m drawing a blank on today’s post, so here’s a couple a photos from this week.

Sheba and Lenny tongues!
Gekko on the fence as I was coming home the other day.

Not sure what’s going on this weekend, WIfe wants a shelf in her garden screen house, I bought the wood yesterday so I guess that’s what I’ll be doing.

Have a great weekend!

By Law!

Port Authority’s order

Why does the Cayman Islands Port Authority order strong currents? It would be a nice, safe swimming place if Mother Nature didn’t follow the Port Authority’s orders!

It’s a lugubrious Thursday, cold wind, rain that bites the skin like shards of ice. Definitely a van day.

On the positive side, it’s not Monday!

Ashy Wednesday

Yesterday I had to go to work early and didn’t get to post. Today is the holiday Ash Wednesday and I’m off work competely. I call it Ashy Wednesday because of our cat, Ashy.

Ashy Wednesday

Today is the Cayman Islands Agricultural Show, the wife is going with her best friend, Emma. I’m glad I’m not going, I went to them all when I worked at the radio station and I’ve seen plenty. It’s a good time once you get there, but the traffic and parking is atrocious.

I’m staying home, probably going to the beach, weather permitting. And I’m giving Lenny a bath, we have new shampoo recommended by the trainer Lenny stayed with last week.

So have you a good day! I’m going to make another cuppa coffee!

End of a long week…

It’s finally Friday! What a long, strange week it’s been.

Strange for no reason in particular,

It rained this morning, quite hard, although it is supposed to be sunny today. Our walk was very short this morning, because of the rain, good thing too, because as soon as we got back, it started pouring!

Today, Lenny goes to the trainers for today, till Sunday morning. Lenny is a harmless good boy who doesn’t listen.

Have a wonderful weekend!
