Snow No Snow

~ A Pondering Mind ~ 2 Comments

Last year nearing
the end of
February, we had
100 plus inches
of snow.
In some places
there were snow
piles higher
than a two story
building.

At this very
moment, there
is no snow
to be found.

An El Nino
weather pattern
will do that
in the northeastern
part of the US.

Maybe next
winter payback
could be a bitch.

Following Directions

~ A Pondering Mind ~ 12 Comments

Read the directions on
the shampoo bottle:
It says to apply,
wash and rinse.
Repeat
So I did
Apply, wash and
rinse
Repeat
And I did
and again
and again
and again
Soon I ran
out of hot
water, which
soon became
cold and still
with shampoo
on my head.

Just a bit of humor

Cursed

~ A Pondering Mind ~ 11 Comments

My birthday is the
same as day as
Ronald Reagan’s.

Now there’s a
guy who has the
same first name
as I.

It sucks having
a double whammy
with two guys
that I don’t
anything to
do with.

I feel like
I’ve been cursed.

This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds. To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is a flash of lightning in the sky. Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain. – Buddha

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go. – Dr. Seuss

Horace & Hazel

~ A Pondering Mind ~ 2 Comments

For the last 20 years, Horace and Hazel
would make their annual visit to Hiram’s
All You Can Eat Diner. Grits and buckwheat
cakes is the house specialty, along with
bottomless cups of weak instant coffee.

Without fail, they would have their favorite
bowl of Frosted Flakes, with rotten bananas,
loded with tablespoons of sugar, and Molly’s
goat milk.

When they’re done eating their fine food,
they hop into their 1932 Ford Model T,
and over to Muskrat Lake to do some hand
holding and a little canoodling.

When they had enough of the smooching
and whatever else did, they headed on
home, and made preparations for the
next upcoming date.
