FATHER KNOWS, STILL DOESN’T CARE

December 7, 2021 by

Father knows everything, just ask him. He knows the big secrets and wants you to know he knows. There isn’t much he doesn’t know, but the lines blur between what he knows and doesn’t know. Why? Because he’s a bad father. And he’s got bad father friends. What makes a bad father?

SELF INTEREST? DON’T FORGET THE ‘ENLIGHTENED’ PART

November 6, 2021 by

‘Self interest’ is the biggest driver in human history. Think about it. Self + Interest = “Waddabout me?” But, you know this. They aren’t cuss words, or accusations, like ‘selfish interest,’ or, ‘selfish bastard,’ because this is where the enlightened part is supposed to kick in. “Enlightened self interest,” or, “Whaddabout me and you?” That’s […]

ROCK TRIPPING: NO MUSHROOMS ADDED PHOTO ESSAY

October 15, 2021 by

Rock tripping is parking the car in a deserted lot with broken down cars scattered around, cats on the prowl, and a gnawing thought that it’s a place where catalytic converters get yanked. Could there be a zombie attack? A good look around doesn’t put it out of question. What carries the moment is the […]

HEART SCIENCE FOR THE NON-SCIENTIST

October 5, 2021 by

Heart science arrives sooner or later. The good news is you will be told you have the heart of someone twenty years younger than you. The bad news is you might be told you the heart of someone twenty years older than you. If you max out on bacon every meal, with eggs cooked in […]

WHEN A SOAKER HOSE IS NOT A SNAKE

September 22, 2021 by

Not one soaker hose, two. Two? Both chopped and buried. Right here? You know the metal thing you screw a hose to? Yeah, that thing. They’re in there somewhere. What if I found the soaker hose and hooked water up? Those hoses are thirty some feet long. All chopped by shovels or rotten. So don’t […]

OBSERVATIONAL RESEARCH: HOW ARE THINGS LOOKING IN TEXAS

September 4, 2021 by

From the sound of the words alone, ‘observational research’ sounds sketchy. ‘Observational’ asks who is doing the observing. If it’s Bob Tom in Texas observing the landscape, a landscape of livestock, who decides his cows are ‘host bodies’ for more cows to increase his herd, he’s being a good rancher.

FAMILY RULES vs COVID MASK MANDATE WITH A VACCINE SIDE

August 31, 2021 by

Family rules are unquestioned behind the front door, behind the tent flap, tree house, or wherever they live. In the housing world, a man is the king of his castle, or so we’ve been told. We can all play along with this fantasy until it swerves off the tracks. It works until the king discovers […]

FEELING GOOD? LET’S FIX THAT FOR YOU

August 12, 2021 by

When you’re feeling good, letting the good times roll, don’t you wish it could last longer? Just a little? I do, too. But realistically, a good feeling ought to be breathed in and experienced for what it is, not captured in a jar and put on display. Why not live with expectations things will work […]
