Sweet talk.

Leave a comment

Weird things you learn as a writer — the expression “sweeten the kitty” was at one time a synonym for “award.”

We absolutely need to bring that back into common usage.

The checkout girl gave me Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake bars by accident.

Now I think I’m addicted.

The real irony here is that I haven’t actually been in any good humor for approximately 17 years.

The resemblance is uncanny. Don’t deny it.

Here’s another picture of the demolition site between Salem and Campbell Avenues.

I just think it’s neat.  It’s weird looking to where the Campbell Court bus hub used to be and seeing an enormous empty space.

The city has a deal with developer to put a few things in the redesigned space, including apartments and stores.  You can read all about it here at The Roanoke Times.

When you take a loooooooong Saturday nap and then wake up groggy, apple fritters kinda look like calf brains.

I’m just sayin’.

“Bohemian Catastrophe.”

Leave a comment

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Lost by a landside,
So I’ll destroy democracy.
Open your eyes,
Watch the hearings and see,
I’m just a despot, deserving no sympathy,
Cause’s power’s easy come, easy go,
My IQ’s little low,
And way the wind blows doesn’t bode too well for me,
for me …

Newly vacant lot between Campbell and Salem Avenues, Roanoke, VA, July 2022

This is after the buildings facing Campbell Avenue (including the former Campbell Court bus station) were razed.  The latter two shots were taken from Salem Avenue, looking south.

“Raze” is a weird word. Its antonym is also its homophone (“raise”).
