Pokey’s reading Stranger in a Strange Land. She reads it in the rockinchair whilst waitin for coffeewater to boil. She reads it on the stoop and lyin in bed. She readsit readsit readsit all the time time time. Kitey smiles upon her fondly. “Heh-heh-heh,” she is thinking, “another convert to my evil scifi cult.”
In the long ago times a famous smartass said, ”The basic glitch in democracy occurs when the majority abandons governing itself in favor of ruling the minority.” But hmmm who really develops self-governance in a goofball society where the bigs boss the small.
When Does the Funeral Begin?
Though we might all wish to be remembered fondly, we’d jolly-well ruther be around for the fondness…
In the golden times in Atlantis, when we dropped the clipper-flange in the leaves — hey! No worries! On account of mice & birdies would come cherrily singing outta the underbrush & ferret it out in no time — hmmm, or maybe that’s some disneymovie we’re nostalgin about…….

If you would rather be villianously persecuted than magnificently triumphant you are an idiot.

stranger in a strange land – wow that brings back memories.
I’ve read Heinlein over and over again – all of his work. Well, the last couple of books got a little weirder than usual, but still well worth reading and re-reading.
the pokey docs survived and I am free of appointments for two weeks – yippee.
I think I am going to melt – the temps here in the desert have been over 110 degrees for 11 days in a row so far.
