It’s all black..
So what? You might say. I don’t particularly care about it either way. I have to write something to fill in the page, so here goes. Yesterday was pretty uneventful. It was 20 degrees colder than the day before, so that wasn’t too good. Today it’s even colder and next week it will be worse. There isn’t much going on except Black Friday sales which aren’t the same as they used to be because everyone shops online now and the sales go all month. No more waiting outside Walmart at 3 am to be the first in line to buy a toaster for $10. That’s the regular price for a toaster these days anyway, or free if you steal it off my front porch.
I will probably go to the supermarket later to get some tomatoes so I can have a bagel. You see how exciting it is around here. I’d really like to hibernate for four months, but humans don’t do that. It gets dark around 5 pm, so you feel sleepy way before bedtime. I feel sleepy now. In years past I used to enjoy sleeping in the afternoon but that was because I had been up until three am getting drunk somewhere. I don’t do that now. I don’t drink much at all. I had a beer on the weekend and another one about two weeks before that. I’m not interested in getting drunk at the moment.
I’m a really boring person to be with, actually. On Wednesday when it was 60 degrees I took the bold step of chopping down some trees that were overhanging the front porch. The oak and maple trees that grow around here shoot up very fast. You turn your back and they’ve grown ten feet. I have a handy pole saw that I use to reach the higher parts. Sometimes I have to get up on the roof to cut back the trees that are overhanging there. The people who owned the house before, didn’t cut back anything, so now there are these giant fucking trees everywhere.
The people that owned the house before, didn’t do a lot of things. Fortunately somebody built an indoor garage onto the back of the house, although they compromised the thermal integrity somewhat. To counter this somebody (maybe the same people?) installed two huge hot water radiators on the double garage wall, which would have worked splendidly if they had been hooked up. They never were, causing the entire back of the house to freeze and burst the remaing heating system pipes the only time when there was nobody here. Now there is no heating in the garage or the rooms above the garage.
I’ve said it before that if I could find the people who did these half assed renovations to this place, I’d dig up their corpses and kick them around the backyard. I’m just that crazy about it. I’m talking very angry and annoyed crazy here. It’s probably not wise to speak ill of the dead, but I have to put up with their fucking bad decisions every day. I wanna buy another house, but not here. Someplace where the weather doesn’t fuck things up as much. The elements are no friend to man made constructions. It’s a constant battle, but at least we’re not living in caves any more. That may change if the loony left keeps going down the current pathway of doom.

Anyhoo, it’s Friday. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Happy Friday.
