A question for the ages

We all know dreams can get pretty weird I know my strangest tend to come if I’m running a fever, or alternately if I took a dose of naproxen sodium (the drug behind Aleve) before retiring. Otherwise, most of my dreams now are fragmentary and generally very mundane, ordinary events that might occur during the day.

The other night was different, and one particular detail stands out to me. You read more

Without even trying

Today is National Grouch Day (no foolin’) and in the past, I’ve had a list of ways to participate, to which I will refer you since I’m almost certain that you haven’t yet tried them all, and coming up with new ideas that are not variations of the same things is read more

Follow not my lead

I’ve had the reminder popping up for over a week that today is International Podcast Day, and so I have for you… no podcast. Yes, yes, I can hear your sigh of relief from here. I’d strongly considered one, and had a couple of topics to talk about, but the time just wasn’t there to accomplish this. What I did accomplish was important, though, and more people read more

To make you appreciate what you have

It’s easy to take things for granted, so from time to time, it’s actually good for people to suffer a little just so they understand that their life isn’t normally bad at all, which is what today’s holiday is all about, since this is Now You Know It Could Be Worse Day. And humanitarian that I am, I’m prepared (well, not exactly, since this should have read more

Walkabout recommends: The Hudsucker Proxy

Despite being a Coen Brothers film, with writing and direction assistance by Sam Raimi, I’ve found very few people familiar with this one, and it’s a shame because this is a great little story on its own, even if it doesn’t quite measure up to the more popular films that they’ve made. This also came out in 1994, at roughly the same time as Forrest Gump, which naturally read more

An illustration

While the property has been overrun with bebby anoles, it’s also seeing more than its fair share (whatever that may be) of bebby frogs as well. This is a scale photo of one from the other night:


That is my left thumb. The sickly pink one, I mean, not the green one, and just now I realized I should have named the image, “greenthumb.jpg.” Too late now stupid.

Look at your thumb just read more

It hasn’t rained for days…

… but now that I have some serious video that I need a voiceover for, it’s raining. We did this on the last one, didn’t we?

Literally a meter from the door

Yes, it’s/they’re more likely female I think, but whatever. Just shut up.


Actually, the white thing is a bucket catching rainbarrel overflow, so I popped the second one into it and carried them both read more

Last chance for July

It’s that time of the month again – you have until midnight to get what you need from July, because after that it’s gone. We tried to warn you…

And that means it’s end-of-the-month abstract time, though I think I’m abusing the definition of that word again. But here it is anyway, free of charge, so file your complaints appropriately.


After one of read more

‘Tis been a year…

… since we first saw the new Walkabout Estates Plus in person.

Yep, we were perusing the real estate listings and considering this location, initially having rejected it for not having some specific criteria, then a closer look seemed to contradict that, indicating that it actually met those criteria. The Girlfriend had the day off for the Juneteenth holiday, and I said, “You read more
