The Leaning Cow

I am tired of What Not to Wear, and A Baby Story and Miami Ink and LA Ink and all these other things I see listed on The Learning Channel. I forgot Ten Years Younger. Is the house flipping on TLC? I just don’t think these are “learning” shows; yes, I could see a few [...]

The snow is gone, probably because the temperature has climbed through the night and day to 57? and is supposed to hit 60K. Everything is wet and if you were using the moss on the north side of the tree for guidance out of this land hereabouts, you’re direction is would be well-marked. The sun [...]

I like having this Internet connection; I like having a word processing program that just lets me go back and delete without an eraser; I like having a printer, no having to painstakingly type each word and use thin paper so the erasures would not show so much. I love this stuff – cable TV [...]

I have, during these months of winter, been able to pick-up a 12 pack of Lipton’s Diet Green Tea, Peach flavor. Now, I haven’t done it often, but when I have, there has been a pack for me. Not now. Knowing I would be wanting a lot of iced tea soon, I checked out the [...]

I feel sorry for the cute little pseudo-orphaned polar bear cub at the German zoo who was brought to – uh, let’s call it – “really bigness” by the people. Knut is the bear whose picture has been on the Internet news a lot lately – you know the one, the picture where it seems [...]
