Things That Drive You Crazy

POV: Political Perspective

 5/27/12: Power Down Pilgrim. Called Governor Patrick's office last night and left a message, as have many other state residents. After visiting pilgrimcoalition.org , I realized that even though the NRC is ignoring safety issues at the nuclear plant, the fight to shut down the plant is not over. The letter that Massachusetts citizens attempted to deliver is posted on this site ...

To Whom It May Concern

The following is a copy of the letter that concerned citizens tried to deliver before the NRC proceeds with plans to relicense the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth, Massachusetts:

Who Said That?

                            

    1.  "Life is something that happens while you are busy making other plans." 
    
    2.  "A hobby is something crazy you do to keep from going crazy."
     
    3.  "Who is Stevia?"    
 
    4.  "This American system of ours, call it Americanism, call it capitalism, call it what you
will, gives each and every one of us a great opportunity if we seize it with both hands
and make the most of it."

Outdoor Shows

4/27/12: Talk about benign neglect. I have not forgotten art, though I have been hitting into the Occupy movement of late, as you can probably see when you open my blog most days. For several years before the movement came into being, I concentrated on writing. My first book is out now, but I don't have the energy to push my literary contribution. The only way I can see it as a bestseller is if I murder someone and get in the newspapers. It's a crazy world.
   The reason I am telling you this is ...

Cooking For Dykes, the book

1/16/12:  Don't let the title fool you. A handful of recipes does not make a culinary compilation. Fun. That is why "Cooking For Dykes" was written. Think metafiction as you read through how-to tips, a comprehensive list of seasonings, the story of a young gay woman. There are comical twists...Click on Post Title for more... << MORE >>

Recipes and Such

12/4/11: Figured it is about time to add another recipe. Have had onions baked in small amount of oil and balsamic vinegar, but did not have time to bake them for 1/2 an hour.
I sauteed a slice of red onion in tablespoon or so of grapeseed oil and added about half that amount of balsamic vinegar. (I find cooked onions easier to digest than raw.)

From the fridge:

But Who's Counting?

11/5/11: So, 179 hits yesterday, 40 looks at Who Said That, 99 at other categories. Now that we've gotten that over with--will have something more to say after today. Will be going with some Cape Occupy members as a presence at a political rally. Hope others throughout the country get involved. Keep it peaceful, folks.

11/3/11: If you wonder what I look like, go to "Who Said That" in Trivia category. Scroll down--way down. Of course, I was in my ...

Nova Scotia

10/10/11: Nova Scotia, the most popular post on this blog. Mainly photos I shot, 
but the credit is not mine. The pictures took themselves. Beautiful place.

Pumpkin Season

10/10/11
   Outside is shaping up. Hiring one guy works for me. We work together and though the process is slower, the pros sometimes forget a few things. Bigger bucks, too. Someone has to pay for those trucks, power plus tools and speedy crews.
Anyway.
   This year, the weather has been cooperative, thankfully. I have to downsize, as the place is getting to be too much for me. Cleanup and losing the clutter are in order. A friend told me eons ago that there ought to be a law. People should be ...
