  Recently, I have noticed that I am talking to myself more frequently - out loud. The conversation often starts out as, “Why are you in this room? I know you came here for a reason.” “Oh! To find my glasses, that’s why,” might be the response. So, throughout the day when I’m alone, I’ll talk to myself and have a spirited conversation. The trouble is, my hearing is not what it … [Read more...]

  Amazon must be getting desperate for delivery personnel. I see that they hired 3 fawns to drop something off on the front porch of my neighbor’s house. Either that, or the three little moochers were munching on Sandy’s outdoor potted plants. I suspect the latter. The same three fawns have been prowling our Woodbrook neighborhood for about a month. I suspect that Mama deer didn’t look … [Read more...]

  I travelled through much of Kentucky last week – the land of Boone and Bourbon. I don’t know much about Daniel Boone other than he shot a bunch of Mexicans at The Alamo and sold a lot of Coonskin Hats in the 1950’s. Bourbon, however, I know about. As my libation of choice, I have probably sent the State of Kentucky enough revenue for their aged brown liquor to build an auditorium in an … [Read more...]

  Covid. Don’t worry. Our fearless leaders have it under control. In fact, the President of Pfizer who has had all the possible shots and boosters there could possibly be, was pleased to announce that he had only contracted Covid four times. Imagine, if he hadn’t had all his doses, he might have got Covid 5 or 6 times! It’s important to get all those shots and boosters, even though you … [Read more...]

What would you do if you went out in your back yard one evening and found yourself face to face with a 350-pound bear and her two cubs? After changing your pants, that is. On a serious note, if you have the presence of mind, experts say to stand and face the bear directly. Never run away from or approach the bear. Make yourself look as big as possible by spreading your arms or, better yet, a … [Read more...]

During the life of an average man there comes a few times when he takes complete leave of his senses and does incredibly stupid things – like go camping. After rising to the top of the food chain and having access to things like heat pumps, wide screen TVs and multiple jet showers, some average men deem it desirable to forego the pleasantries of life and live among a cluster of other humans within … [Read more...]

  My son Jimmie called me from Atlanta recently and said he had a weird red bird at his feeder. He finally identified it as a cardinal with a blue head. He called it a Cardinal Monster. It was not a monster at all, just a cardinal molting his feathers and occasionally cardinals will shed every feather on their heads, revealing a bright blue skin similar to a wild turkey. According to … [Read more...]

(Ed: Note:  My computer had a bad hair day last week and wouldn't connect to CvilleBuzz, so it didn't go out. Here's hoping it makes it to your in-box this week. Thx  Jim)       Well, I mowed my onions last week. Not grass, onions. I may have my best crop ever. My yard grows onions so well that I am thinking of turning it into a wild onion farm. I understand there … [Read more...]

    “Please hold. An operator will be with you shortly!” Yeah, right. And those are friendly Indians, General Custer. Next to an IRS audit, the thing I hate worse in life is having to call a utility company. I had to make such a call last week to shut off phone service as my business was changing locations. The call was to Century Link, a pillar of customer service. “If … [Read more...]
