Mosquito-haters Haiku Club

Little BitsSeptember 14, 2024962Views 0Likes 0Comments

I wrote, the other night, a haiku expressing both my hate of mosquitos and my joy in the splattering of their bodies, blood-filled or not. I then posted my haiku on Facebook, which apparently inspired others to write and add their own, and for me to write a couple more. I present to you now a…

The random not-randomness of life, chapter gajillion & 473

The random not-randomness of life, chapter gajillion and 473. So, in the last two days I've been in this "let's do it, fall is coming, things have been sitting around too long" mode of getting rid of some items (some mine, some my mother's) by way of my local Buy Nothing group. So, here I am…

Thanks for all the birthday wishes the other day, especially over on Facebook! I had a most lovely handful of birthday-days ... a sweet gathering and meal with my family, a day-trip to Rehoboth Beach with some girlfriends, and a most meaningful and expansive get-together with my mentor and friend. I keep waiting for the day I…

A masterpiece

I am the maker of many-things-dehydrated. I am the maker of cowboy candy, which I find incredibly delicious and zingy. I am the maker of soaked walnuts and other soaked nuts, though there is not much *making* involved in such activities. And I am now the maker of this gorgeous, incredibly delicious, masterpiece that mixes all…

If you could cast but one vote, would you say this man looks like / feels like the personality of -- A Boomer? A GenXer A Millennial Or the empathetic, kind, nice, polite generation after them? The American West iconic cowboy image (and time! ... before the rise of barbed wire and…

Teensploitation, the GenX childhood mileiu

Here's the 1981 Billy Idol graphic for the song "Dancing with Myself." And yet another example of the teen/pre-teen/child sex-ploitation / hashtag # teensploitation of children that happened so prevalently and recklessly during the hashtag # GenX childhood/teen years. You think generational formation of children is eh, arbitrary or whatevs? Look at this image and tell me…

A more sharing world

Oh, you young 'uns have no idea of the mess young GenXers encountered in the world -- and work world, particularly in the lack of shared knowledge and information management they encountered as the young adults of the nation and business world. One of the things GenXers (currently 43-63 years old) tend to have in spades…

DNC launches on a super full blue moon

Ya know, nothing like having the opening of the Democratic National Convention on a full moon -- no less, a super and a blue moon. I mean, if you're gonna do it, do it. Awakenings and quantum leaps. Ya know. From this piece: "This event brings a surge of electric, revolutionary energy that will instigate awakenings and quantum…

The One – Boomers

Each generational type (there are four) has a date with destiny that is its own, and for which it is uniquely and perfectly formed. Each generation also goes through the four phases of life (childhood, young adulthood, midlife and elderhood) in which they both see the outer world from their distinct perspective and are seen…

Festival attendance likely to drop over the next 20 years

Burning Man, Cultcha, GenerationsAugust 14, 20245KViews 0Likes 0Comments

I saw this graphic on a Burning Man camp organizer's Facebook post and it surprised me none. Tickets to this event have been selling out, desperately sought and coveted when got. But not this year. Why? Well, you COULD say the excess of Burning Man tickets this year is because the event was all muddy and such last…

It’s so over

It’s so over. This hat. This camo-pattern Harris-Walz hat says it all. Trump is toast … and good that he is, lying, thieving, Constitution-stomping narcissist that he is, always has been and always will be.

GenX is in the house and the gloves are OFF!

We've had in Joe Biden these last four years, a Silent generation president -- the really nice, polite, empathetic, procedural type of generation (as will likely be the kids born 2005 - ~ 2027, but I digress). Biden, born in 1942, in the last year of the Silent gen (1925-1942), is the only member of his…
