Standing by the side of the road, and a raven leaves its perch on the power lines to overfly me.
If you are a fan of “28 Days Later” (2002), then you know that this is a setup for a BAD situation.

My first I Ching reading. :-)
“Above, fire, below, the lake.
“The image of opposition this amid all fellowship,
“The superior retains his kind.”
“The Empress” from “Basel’s Dance of Death” by Matthäus Merian, 17th Century
Throwback Thursday: the Cover to “Marvel Comics Presents” #85, Sam Kieth, 1991
This is a truly iconic 1990’s comic cover by the inimitable Sam Kieth; the image takes me right back to when I returned to comic book fandom in the first half of the decade. Kieth passed away on March 15th.

Wish me luck!!
Today I have to go back to the same store where I keep leaving my grocery bags at the counter. (There is an alarming paucity of Little Debbie Snack Cakes in my home.)
Keep your fingers crossed that I don’t embarrass myself again. I need to walk out with ALL my bag, so that a polite young person doesn’t have to chase me.

How do I make the same embarrassing mistake at the same store one week later? (You guessed it — I left one of my packages at the counter again, and the poor, beleaguered, young cashier had to run out after the confused old guy with it.)
It’s like a humiliating glitch in The Matrix.
