A follow-up to the original. Red’s Retribution. It was at midterm in her sophomore year at Forestview college when her Grandma sadly had died. But it was no surprise because grandma was unfortunately slowly going down anyway. This was not a very good time for Red and her mom. But anyway as timeContinue reading “Red’s revenge.”

Oh nuts with a White Christmas.
I’m dreaming of a somewhat hazy Christmas. Just like the ones I use to know. Just like in my little village of Los Angeles. Busy with people and cars honking, crowded shopping malls, difficulty finding a parking space, and a red-kettled bell ringer at every mall entrance. Not to mention a light shroud ofContinue reading “Oh nuts with a White Christmas.”
My mom and her trendy Xmas trees.
She talked to the trees. Once we moved east to our new and bigger house in L A County my mom thought it trendy to buy a fake Christmas tree. One wants to follow the trends of course. My mom was a devoted trend follower. Getting most of her inspiration from the Sears andContinue reading “My mom and her trendy Xmas trees.”
What is this all about?
Ask Teddy Truman. Dear Teddy, I am a middle-aged white Republican woman. Plus, I am non-queer, married but recently widowed, and for sure binary. None the less, I was told by others to never call anybody queer. I am a she and female. A girl. I don’t get all this pronoun stuff and to beContinue reading “What is this all about?”
I like my cornbread in a tall glass of buttermilk.
Meals on 4-wheels. In our little town there are an over abundance of burrito food trucks. Plus, too many chicken and pizza trucks. None the less, where are the food trucks with the real food? Because of the high population of college students here in our little town food trucks are cooking too much fastContinue reading “I like my cornbread in a tall glass of buttermilk.”

Approaching the establishment from behind on the side street, you will quickly notice a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud parked under its own car port just behind the business rear entrance. Then Entering the main front entrance of the unique establishment, one would beContinue reading “The Royal Gorge”
Pulling the weeds.
posted by Chuck Ayers Walking in the weeds. Did I mention to you I worked on a cattle ranch back in 1961 in northern California? I did. Hardest work I had ever done. But that aside, the ranch was just a few miles north on US-99 from the small town of Weed. Yes, Weed, California.Continue reading “Pulling the weeds.”
It should look like midnight inBolivia.
How could you do this? How could a person take perfectly good coffee beans and turn it into a mug of sludge? I know of some seemingly reasonable people who do this. They go to the trouble of having Bolivian coffee beans imported and roasted far away then shipped FedEx to them overnight and goContinue reading “It should look like midnight inBolivia.”
Boy, am I pist off!
What is going on here? I’m not sure I’m the only guy to discover this but men’s pant zippers are becoming troublesomely short. Creating a logistical conundrum. No longer can we just zip but must unbuckle one’s trousers risking dropping one’s pants while standing at a wall urinal. Men’s pant zippers use to be aboutContinue reading “Boy, am I pist off!”
I’d rather eat Play-Doh.
What about avocado toast? My lovely wife loves avocado toast. I don’t! I do not like its mooshy texture and wall paper paste taste. So here is my recommendation for an alternative. We’ll just call it banana toast. Banana toast only if no one else has already invented banana toast. This is how I wouldContinue reading “I’d rather eat Play-Doh.”
