∞ The news is so depressing, I can’t even read about it anymore, and I’m sure I’m not alone.

∞ It’s next to impossible for a writer to not bring the current pandemic into his or her writing now’a days, and Slim Randles is right there with the rest of us. It’s been fun seeing the pandemic through the eyes of the guys at the Mule Barn Truck stop, especially from good ol’ Windy. Before […]

∞ I’m finally back among the living after a week of being really sick. Not the COVID, thank God. Had a bad reaction to some new pain meds the neurologist prescribed for my trigeminal neuralgia. It took several days for that med, and the ones to counteract side-effects of that drug, to leave my system. After […]

∞ Well, it’s Wednesday again, and here’s Slim Randles with another bit of fun with Windy Wilson. If the social limitations of the current pandemic are starting wear down your coping skills, you have nothing on good ol’ Windy.

∞ First, I want to take a moment to remember and honor those who fought for the freedoms we enjoy here in the United States. There will be few gatherings or picnics or barbecues today, and my anger toward the Corona Virus that has impacted our lives in so many ways is growing. People should be […]

∞ To all the mother’s out there. I do hope you are having a wonderful day, despite some of the limitations we are all experiencing with this pandemic wreaking havoc on our lives. I’ve been blessed with some company Saturday and today. No hugs, though, which is something we all miss. Still, having company and sharing […]

∞ These lilies come back in my front flower pots every year, and they just recently bloomed. They were the first plant I bought to add to this little rock garden along the side of my garage at my new house two years ago, and I now have two pots of them blooming. Now I’m going […]

∞ Things are all out of whack on the blog this week. I missed yesterday entirely, thanks to a huge flare in the pain from the trigeminal neuralgia which was a gift from Ramsay Hunt Syndrome – the gift that keeps on giving. 🙁 But any day is a good day to share this space with […]

∞ Maybe it’s the time of year. Or the challenges we are all facing with uncertainties that are out of our control. Or just the fact that sometime Slim Randles gets very thoughtful in what he writes. He is more than a humorist after all, and through the years that I’ve gotten to know him by […]
