The title explains itself.

If you're interested in the ramblings of a middle-aged man with chronic conditions who, at times, sees things a little too clearly for his own good, then read on.

Sometimes I get political, but it won't be all the time.

I don't mind comments in general but if you're going to differ with what I write, that's fine--as long as you can explain your position clearly & reasonably. Rants, shouting & general incoherence will be ignored or flagged, depending on the situation. Try to remember that not everyone else in this world holds your beliefs.

Every so often I may post art or snapshots of projects I'm working on.

If you're still interested after reading all the above, great. (I do wonder at how much time you have on your hands, though)

...when I get up tomorrow, I will pay for it. But the work has to be done.

Dully surreal dreams

Wake up in a light sweat

In a motel bed: rumpled yet

Still, with corpse face.

My dreams were unusual last night...(not X-rated, just plenty of action) Maybe that's good...there's still some life in my brain.

Then I woke up: still chronic, still 50 years old. I hate it.

...Lots of fog early this morning.

I only have one wish: that in 2026 we attain more success with fewer--preferably no--losses than we got in '25. I wish that for all of us.

Left knee hurt this morning, main condition flared up a bit; I was gonna start a project but was too dazed, tired & achy to do anything other than crawl back inside the truck, eff around online & fall asleep despite having a cup of coffee earlier...

I am not a morning person.

That is all.
