Shakesthegrounds Rumblings

I am now halfway to my goal of having $24 in a coffee can.

Have you added any more to the coffee can?

T'waz a beautiful weekend. I worked on one of my rental houses on Saturday, pulling nails out of the wall and filling the holes. The enclouse back porch that had become an apartment for a German Sheppard got a fresh coat of primer which smelled of red wine. 

Sunday I worked on my own house, cleaning the gutters, sawing up a limb that had fallen off a tree and while I had the latter out I decided to do something I'd wanted to do for a few years now. I nailed an old tire iron to the gable end of the front of my house for the whole world to drive by and not notice. 

If anyone asks me about it, I will tell them, it is for people like Jack Twist, James Byrd and Matthew Shepard and countless others. They will no doubt look askance at it, same way I look at the huge 100 ft. metal cross in the parking lot of the church down the road, awaiting erection. Lots of people have died so we can have a better world, and they all died needlessly.

Its going to be another beautiful day today as well, the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming and life returns to the northern hemisphere. My internal clock races to catch up with the time change, and my heart basks in the warm sun.

Love you, Truman, for the out of the ordinary way your mind works.

So that's what a tire iron looks like! I don't think I've ever seen one before.

Love the colour of you window shutter!

And I very much like the grey wooden wall!

I love my car.

When I bought it in 2004, brand new, it had 4 miles on it. As of this morning it had 191,286. It needs a tune up, but I have changed the oil every 3,000 to 4,000 miles and it runs great, the gas mileage is still as good as when I fist bought it.

But the CD is screwed up, the carpet is worn out and now the drivers side seat back is broken and won't stay upright.

That's right, I have a BROKEBACK CAR!

I just set a pillow behind my lower back and keep going. It's paid for, maybe one day I will fix it, until then I will just stand it.
