Preposterous Ponderings of a Perpetually Perplexed Person

I WRITE ABOUT WHATEVER HAPPENS TO POP IN MY HEAD. LIKE THE CHARACTER FORREST GUMP SAID, “YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GONNA GET”
  • Day 24

    We have reached the last Wednesday of June. How is it we are one week away from the second half of the year? It completely defies logic to me. Something else that defies logic is how Trump wants to cut federal funding for coronavirus testing places. Yes, we’re having a spike in case numbers, but […]

    Day 23

    Though I have lived in southern Utah for 30 years, every summer I bitch and moan about the heat. I hate it, but still go through it. The last few days have been 100°+, with no real relief until maybe next Monday, dropping to around 90°. For us in the Southwest United States, hot summers […]

    Day 22

    It’s been a really long day, and it looks like tomorrow’s forecast isn’t much better. At work, today was a hell of a lot busier than yesterday, which was Father’s Day. Four cooks worked on Sunday, as it’s usually the busiest day of the week. Today there were two of us, and I feel like […]

    Day 21

    In the United States, today is Father’s Day—a day to be thankful for our dads, grandpas, or even the single moms who are playing dad and mom simultaneously. Maybe you’re a dad of a fur-baby. All are valid! Some are still lucky to have their dad with them. If you do, cherish this time. Others, […]

    Day 20

    Welcome to the summer (or if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, welcome to winter). Today is officially the season we call summer, or in southern Utah, the season of hell. Okay, some love the heat and whatnot. I would much rather endure 40°F (4°C) than 40°C (104°F)! You will undoubtedly hear that today is the […]

    Day 19

    When I went through the educational system as a youth, we learned about American history, and one of the things taught was about the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and how it freed the slaves. What I don’t remember them teaching was how it took until 19 June 1865 to reach Texas, and thus ended slavery […]

    Day 18

    Though March seemed to take an eternity to get through, it seems we’re now hurtling through the month at break-neck speed. We’re now nearly two-thirds of the way through June. My high school 30th class reunion was scheduled to be next weekend; however, due to all the recent craziness of lockdowns, virus and whatnot, I […]

    Day 17

    I’m not sure where I should begin today. I worked my one day a week at Golden Corral today. Serving people cafeteria-style isn’t all that bad; the worst part for me is wearing a damned mask for the whole shift. Not only do my glasses fog up while wearing it, I have a hard time […]

    Day 16

    Another Tuesday has come and gone. For you, it might be Taco Tuesday. Or, it could a different kind of Tuesday😏🤷‍♂️. I’ve done a few sorta “heavy” posts recently, citing different social issues taking place as of late. Today, I thought I’d keep things light, maybe funny. I haven’t mentioned work in a bit. Today […]

    Day 15

    Here we are, halfway through June, on what seems like a runaway freight train going downhill without brakes. In the last few days, five black people have been found hanged to death around the country. One thing that bothers me is that, from what I’ve read, all five are being called suicides. One, maybe two, […]
