The Leaning Cow

I am giving myself the benefit of the doubt here, but I think I am more on the good side of peoplehood, than the evil, although I do have an abrasive personality, for the most part. I remember being about four in Bloomington, Indiana and standing by myself because I think I had annoyed my [...]

Yes, I went HERE yesterdeay. Well, my specific “HERE” is at  5825 Covington Road in Fort Wayne and I came away in one hour’s time with a new windshield.

I dropped Alison off at the hospital and went  started to mow at Mother’s; I hoped to beat the rain. Well, I got part of it done, was sprinkled on for about 45 minutes and then experienced a further rise in humidity. Oh, did I forget to mention that when I drove up in the [...]

I have people in my family who will take a piece of chicken, put it on a plate, come out and sit beside me watching some show on the porch TV and when I look over I will see a plate of BONES. Other people in my family do the same thing, minus the stuff [...]

I looked and looked for this picture of Quentin and his Grandma Sarah standing in the west part of the yard in Scott together and I can’t find it. I have seen it recently so I am thinking of whamming my head against a brick wall. Fortunately, Mother once gave me a section of foam [...]
