Me4

Guy from southern Indiana Free

Born in '54 near the bucolic, pastoral town of Hitchcock, (also known as "Oxonia") in southern Indiana, in earshot of the celebrated Monon railroad ("The Hoosier Line"). Admiring my perpetually drunk, brawling, leg-breakin' WWII Battle of the Bulge veteran uncle, I grew up as a hell raisin', fist fightin', hard drinkin', drag racin', jail-bound ne'er-do-well teenager. But I soon learned the err of my ways, before any major tragedy occurred, fortunately. Today, I am widowed, repentant, reclusive and retired, just barely living off of Social Security, near the idyllic, sylvan town of Furnessville in northwest Indiana, within earshot of the historic South Shore railway. My final goal now is to try to outlive and take care of the stray cat and her three kittens that my beloved late wife and I rescued back in '19. They are the last of the many dogs and cats that we rescued over the years. Lots of jobs, many lessons learned, far too many regrets, but even more stories.

    If it’s a little door, only a tiny person can squeeze through it. I had issues with raccoons getting in. Opossums don’t seem to be bright enough to figure out a doggie door.

    A lunar day lasts roughly 4 earth weeks. So a lunar hour is longer than an earth day. Is a “lunar time” clock running really slow?

    Solution: fenced-in backyard with a doggie door leading out to yard.

    I had a Sony clock radio where the snooze time was 9 minutes, but you could hit the snooze button multiple times, and the snooze time would be delayed by that multiple. For example, quickly hit the snooze button 4 times, and the snooze time would be 36 minutes instead of 9.

    The debate could also be held at the visitor room at the prison. Trump would be seated, behind the plexiglass window, talking through the telephone headset. The watchful guard reminding Trump, “Your five minutes is up! Back to your cell!”

    I rarely go out dining, but when I do, I always sit at the bar to eat. I didn’t know I’m supposed to be embarrassed about dining alone. Oh, well.

    I saw a sign at some roadside restaurant that said, “THIS IS A CLASSY JOINT — ACT RESPECTABLE!”.
