The Cybertruck.

This is the first time I’ve seen one in the wild.

If you’re my kind of weird, then you immediately thought of the Landmaster vehicle from 1977’s “Damnation Alley.”



Breakfast at The Texas Tavern.

Super-fast, super-cheap, super-good.  I even chatted with the cook about comic books.

I do love this little Southern city.

Update — tried to befriend a feisty sparrow on the way home today. But they’re fickle about who they mix with.



My friend Jesse Rooney’s Donald Trump / “Clerks” joke:

Everyone:  “34”
Gen X:  “In a row?”



😀

Enjoy this short story.

So I finally located that cache of shorts in storage that I was looking for.  Now I can finally dress for the hot weather.  Sorry about my blinding white legs, Roanoke.

How white are they?  Let’s just say I hope you didn’t throw out your eclipse-viewing glasses.



Throwback Thursday: “Highlander” (1986)!

I shared a meme about “Highlander” (1986) on Tuesday, and my girlfriend told me that she had never seen the movie.  I conscientiously informed her that is absolutely the greatest film ever made.

Okay … it isn’t exactly the greatest film ever made.  Among other things, it portrays an Egyptian (Sean Connery) with a Scottish accent and a Scotsman (Christopher Lambert) who has a … French accent?

It’s still a damned enjoyable movie though.  (And it is sacred amongst a lot of 80’s kids, including me.)  Hell, I might have to watch it again just for the wicked-cool establishing shots of 1980’s New York.

I’m sorry, Miss Jackson.

Shirley Jackson’s response to a critic is peach perfect.

Better Living Through Lethargy

Pro tip — if you clean your house without your glasses on, it takes half the time, because most stuff looks clean enough already.

I swear this works.



“The Unsuccessful Skygazer (Night 2!) Rhyming Couplet”

Again the skies incur my spite —

I still can’t see the northern lights!



“The Unsuccessful Skygazer Rhyming Couplet”

Damn the sparing heavens and their promises of green!
First a hidden eclipse and now the northern lights unseen!
