Yesterday i droppt the Shunky;

Today [Sunday] i droppt the

muffler on the Green=Ghost!

Which is werse?

A shunky schpill can be cleaned

up with white vinegar & a mop.

A muffler drop is a little more

Complicated. Note: bungee

cords are not the best cradle

for a fallen muffler; the rubber

will burn thru eventual.

Funny how the old cars & the

old ladies make one Resourceful.

{Angels of Mercy~~do not send

me into this epoch again!}

Apparently, most of the pictures

i post are both old & corrupted.

OR there is a bumpy=bug in

Kodiak land. No matter~i've been

I'm all G'ed up 4 the week. The

Too many of these youngsters

That is to Say~i do not encourage

self=promotion on the InterWeb,

but it is rather pleasant to get

the occasional random Bounce.

Friends? Equals? Exceeders?

Truth be told...i like wading in

Schwimming theme, no?}

06/25/2005...so i was watching

What I Like About You last

night and i swear i heard the one

girl say to the other girl,"Well,

aren't you the crasy mofo?"

Sure, that's a werd i've been using

for about ten years, but i can't

believe it made it to Broadcast

television. Schtartled me much!

(moh~foh, equal emfasis, the

shortening of a highly derogatory

term first described on the

Carlin list of unutterables.)

Those kids & their language!

This is my natural voice.

Regardless of that & altogether,

it's a bit too schteamy for me

to be controversial. I'll write

What a perfectly oppressif day to

wandre down to the Laundromat

and warsh the Jeans, the Shirts

and the Sheets that Hane tosses

and turns in when she's not

staying up watching the old

movies & the Animal Planet.

[Not a complete Sentence^]

*

It was totally Unexpected that my

little brother would Visit me at

that location. Yet, it happened.

The date=up on Toni & Todd is

that Toni is getting around her

own haus with the help of

crutches & a wheelchair, and

various fambly members--one of

her legs is still unwalkable.

Todd is doing time at one of the

premiere Rehab hospitals, and

he's not the Happiest camper.

[This hospital is Noted for its

strict rehabilatory discipline]

I'd like to believe all this is good

news & that the Road is now

almost HALF TRAVELLED.

So~~i decide consciously to

believe it, and if i do that, then

the Road will smoothe out.

Cat & Blade are nearly as

optimistic. G-d Bless^^

Truth! Encouragement! Laundry!

Unexpected but WELCOME

visitations~~I have the real life

and it slightly grinds against my

Wednesday i werkt; Thersday i recycled.

Friday i washed one of the largest laundries

of my current Xistenz. From sheets & sox

to Jeans and shirts, i felt compelled to warsh

off the lingering schmells of my Grand tour

to the great metropolis. It's nothing personal

except that i was due to cleanse these items

regardless...and the jury run had given me

a slight excuse to put off godliness.

I zoomed by it in the green=ghost on my

[she just walked thru the front door.]

She hollered,"Hey! Unkabooey~what's

happpennningg?" or some such crud.

Sounded just like Rocky somehow...

it's usually Rocky who shouts after me

when they come to visit. Anyway--we

caught each other up on the News of

that she could acquire anothre cat or

time to shred a hospital bucket full of

Tonight's Episode: The Bourse...

It was the hottest dang day of the year

and i meandered back to my hotel room

to gathre up some reading materials &

a deck of cards [which i never used.]

Then, i perambulated along Market to

the food=court @ the Bourse. Talk

about your feeding frenzy! Evyone in the

natural werld was there, waiting in lines

to get a nosh. I bot an italian hoagie for

fi' dollars. Not a genuine gut=buster,

mind you, but an eight inch samich

which nearly no=one could call for good

a po'boy, submarine, hero etcetera...

Schtill, as i woofed it down @ the court

house court=yard, it was a tasty morsel.

About one o'clock, i went through

security again and Mister Wanding Man

Person made some snide remark that,

"Shoot~You are just a man of metal with

your Jeans & your Belt & Boots, aintchya?"

[And to think i coulda done something

Amazingly illicit on my Break.]

*

The room was mildly boisterous when i

found a new seat in the back. I lost track

of the petite blonde. Some of the culled

jurors returned with scant stories of their

adventures up=stairs. I concentrated my

attention on my complimentary Hotel

paper and the puxxles i brot from home.

Walking & stretching periodically to keep

the blood in my legs flowing...

A quarter past Four, yet anothre Jury was

selected [Kathleen onmy left was chosen

and i muttered,"G bless."] This group was

told to return Tommorow (Tuesday) for

their voir dire. THEY were mildly relieved

of that news. The better News was Yet.

Moments after they escaped for the

afternoon, the rest of us were informed

that if we hadn't been chosen, OR, if we

had been outsworn of the Morning office,

OUR Jury Service was complete & done.

Our favourite Clerk made the ominous

Statement: "See you all again in 2 Years."

{i was slightly disappointed that i hadn't

gotten the chance to see the Upper Rooms

that 1/5th of our group had already

been through the Process before.

By the time orientation began, i had

a brunette from Horsham on my left

hand & a blonde from Churchville on

my right. Both younger than me of

gourse and apparently unencumbered.

The female clerk was entertaining enuf

considering she has been doing the

jury thing for probably many years. WE

watched a Video of one of the judges

informing us of the importance of

jury service in the American System of

jurisprudence. Soon enuf, we were

also visited by one of the sitting judges.

He was an affable hispanic gentle=man

in a black robe. [duh.] A little while later,

some lawyers came in & selected the

first 30 participants of the first case.

Two lawyers & a tip=staff arrived by

stages to aggregate the next sixty

persons for anothre two cases. The

brunette on my left was chosen for one

of these. [oh, yeah~before these juries

my belt buckle was a special problem.

Twice in one day i went through the

arch scanner and there was no stopping

my Beepage. And i was also wanded

both times. {the security at the bus

buckle? That was a cheap thrill becos

each time Mister Filly Security Man

me back. Then, after all, she

wished me to have,"a nice

week=end." I felt her blush as

i moved along~~this is how it

happens when someone likes

you. OR! Maybe she knows i

Less=the=Never, i will have to

keep my eyes on her, and not

cash piddling chex on Mondays.

Wednesday, June 01, 2005...

So~I'm walking through the Town on

my reticular travails And what do i

see but a young bird attached to the

hood of a red SUV. I step a few steps

and turn around on my heels, because:

"This is an unusual thing!" The vehicle

stops & a well=dressed woman climbs

out of her ride. "It fell on my hood and

I didn't know what to do." The young

bird had had quite the time of it too

just by looking at our Friend who has

feathres. I stroked its chest and

checked its talons, one of which was

firmly attached to the air=grill just

below the windscreen. By the time

i next tried to cup the creature, it

gathered its own wits and took off to

a nearby porch. [WE were afraid it was

injured & could not Fly; bad thing for

a Bird!] The woman thanked me

profusely for helping, even calling me

a good samaritan. I don't know about

That~but if i can't take the time to

help one confused Aviator AND the

kindly Professional who gave it a

short trip they neither will forget:

Well, then, i would thoroughly have

to revisit my dedication to All the

even greater matters which attend me

as i walk the werld. {I hope they both

attained a good result.} Fly Home!

What day was that? I am moving so

fast and so far that some=times i

could swear i glimpse my own scant

adipose in the foreground!

*

I know for sure that during the Holiday,

i clipped my own hedges and made

four bags of Yard=Waste. These would

be the big black bags that i Recover

from my regulars for just such a purpose.

[And it was toooo nice to schtay indoors

to deconstruct the internal Museum

into an equal Numbre of crudsax.] The

beautiful weather has come at Last!

Maisy didn't know what Day it was

Either! Great minds get confused alike.

OW! i have the writer's cramp from

signing my Name so much...and the

Cotton=Tongue from licking schtamps!

I mean, envelopes...'cos all the schtamps

are adhesif=self Now. It's a good thing

i have such a strong tongue. And piano

trained fingres. [thanks, Evelyn.] What's

the Assign for this week anyway?

Never mind~i am far too busy caring

after all my other small Birds.
