Tuesday On My Mind

Due to a recent drought in the Dandelion Garden I have decided to pull out the sprinkler. If I plan on maintaining the growth of weeds I am going to have to toil in the dirt every day. Unfortunately, for many of you, this will lead to a lot of nonsense. But I’m just sitting here typing and I doubt I would do it if no one was reading but I’m still doing it for myself. So here’s some crap that I’ve been thinking about today.


I plan on getting a hawk. Most likely a Red-Tailed Hawk. I have no idea what I would name the Hawk – a name should only be given after a proper introduction. But I plan to train it to hunt for me. It’s not as if I enjoy hunting or eating any rodent or rabbit or snake that my hawk would bring to me. It’s more about the bond that I would be able to develop with another creature. I have many very good relationships and some of the best ones are with animals. And I think I could have a very nice friendship with a hawk. And if it doesn’t work out, he can just hang out with the goat.

I would get a falcon but I have to work my way up to that. Check out www.ohiofalconry.com

As of tonight I have officially renamed my wife Chick. I may very well still refer to her as M in the Garden, but if you see the name ‘Chick’ think of my wife. She’s okay with it, because it’s only a nickname. I am not really sure why I chose the name but it was definitely time for a change. Besides, after watching a very bad 1960’s cartoon this weekend she has decided to call me Mightor.



I spent some time in the rain this evening. Unfortunately it wasn’t just to splash in the puddles. It was to unclog a few gutters. But the rain is still a hell of a lot of fun to be in. I really didn’t want to come inside. There is always an initial shock to stepping out amongst the raindrops. But once you’ve been out there for a few minutes and your shirt is sticking to you and your jeans start to get heavy and your feet start to squish in your socks, well, you may as well hang out for awhile.

If you’d like a more poetic reason to play in the rain, check out my archives.


That’s really all I have tonight. I could probably continue to babble some more but by the time I post this Hong Kong Phooey will be on. (If you don’t have Boomerang, get it.)
