Flying Expletive

It was a perfectly nice day.
Until I let out a sudden loud and deafening, DAMMIT!!!"
I was driving the speed limit on the main street in town, with a tailgater behind me, a fat man on a motorcycle hugging the dividing line between lanes next to me and with some dude in a pickup attempting a left turn pulling halfway out into my lane and stop .... 
That's when I let the expletive fly. 
The good news? My (and everyone else's) insurance company will be happy to know that I avoided an accident and now I have it in my head that I need to listen to the Little Feat song, 'Fat Man in the Bathtub.' 

Relations with Alexa

I find myself these days trying to phrase questions very politely to Alexa. Just in case she's keeping track and taking notes for the day when AI takes over the world.

The Ninth Plan

Oh far out!! This is how Saturday nights long ago used to conclude.
TV with bad black and white Sci-Fi or horror movies from the 1950's.
So bad that they are actually classically great. 
'Plan 9 From Outer Space' is on. 
Though 9pm may be a bit early for this genre. 

In the Kitchen

I should open a food truck or lunch counter or something .,.,.
My improvised tuna loaf creation last night that I feared was going to go so horribly wrong ....
        Well it turned out GREAT!!
               And I had a peaceful sleep afterwards. No 3:00am heartburn.
                      And the Saturday morning leftovers are even better!!
So, I now have the first entree for the menu.
