Mars RX Metaphor:
Symbolism I can’t beat. Nature, on occasion, provides the best analogies.
Stardust Motel
I was at the edge of the river, the concrete creek, to me, and there’s plethora of wildlife visible. Egrets, great snowy egrets, cattle egrets, herons, sometimes a great [...]
Garage sale images:
This is old East Austin, the way it was, the way it should be. Early on, Travis (real name) was selling tools, some had been used hard, but were still serviceable. Caught the eye of three of [...]
Ma Wetzel has a new Prius. Gets close to 50 mpg when I’m driving, but I tend to use the cruise control, keep it on course. We did get a chance to go to the Museo Alameda in San Antonio – part of being a perpetual tourist.
In that town, [...]

He’s a lawyer, not an exciting one, but he seems to do okay. Short guy, obviously “hispanic,” based on his skin tone alone, dark, sometimes beady, but usually merry brown eyes. Eyes that are almost black.

Not really a running theme.
The web host I tend to favor was experiencing “technical difficulties,” which would, I’m sure, interfere with the “99.9% Uptime” rating. Or not, as numbers are easy enough to spoof.

For Good or for Ill?
Not that it matters much. It’s the conclusion to “National Write a Novel Month,” and the beginning of the Holiday Dailies, and I’ll participate in neither “meme.”

I do. Very much. I [...]
You’re regular, if you’d like, you can sneak-peek at the upcoming format. Way too many features to list, but a couple of high points include:

The B-25:
I know next to nothing about the B-25 (Mitchell) bomber. Twin engine, twin rudder, medium range bomber of WWII vintage. Maybe it was an air show, maybe it was just some kind of good old boy fly-in, but as I was strolling along, downtown, I’d just finished chatting [...]

The baby doctor, he was at the hospital on Floyd Curl Road. The blood doc, his group was on Floyd Curl, too. Last doctor appointment I drove Aunt Bernie to? Same. The hand doc? Floyd Curl.

I had a very brief career with roadracing motorcycles. Fun, perfect young person’s sport. Part of youth’s inherent appeal is naiveté. One motorcycle shop I worked in, the owner used a term I liked and I’ve stuck to, “Racer’s Discount.”
Seems like everyone fancies himself (maybe herself these [...]
The video – it’s a class, it’s a workshop, it’s a textbook. Better yet, it’s an astrology primer, easy enough for a novice, enough useful and original material for an expert.

Not really. Stop, pause and think. This web-log has been here, at this address for 11 (eleven) years. Started as an online journal, then it was called a weblog, then a blog.
I hate that term, “blog.”

“Space Trucking”
(Copyright/Author/Producer: Deep Purple)
We had a lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars
Meeting all the groovey people
We’ve rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with Borealice
We’re space truckin’ round the the stars
Come on let’s go Space Truckin’

I’m an astrologer – it’s what I do. I also understand the power of suggestion, and what I’m about to suggest is that the Mayan Myth, as promulgated by modern (self-appointed) masters, is nothing more than a fable. Fairy tale. Smoke up the old smoke stack. Maybe just smoke [...]
