I have almost been hit by lightning twice:

Once it hit a tree about five feet away from where I was standing.

The next time I was almost hit I was out in the woods and this time the lighting hit the ground right next to me- I was fine until I heard someone  scream, ” Wow, is that woman DEAD?”

So of course I start looking for a dead person.

It took me a minute to realize they were talking about me.

I’ve also been electrocuted at least a half-dozen times.

I hate electricity.

And I think it hates me right back.

 

Little Drop Of Poison (Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan 1997)

I like my town with a little drop of poison Nobody knows they’re lining up to go insane I’m all alone, I smoke my friends down to the filter But I feel much cleaner after it rainsAnd she left in the fall, that’s her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison Did the devil make the world while God was sleeping? There’ll never get a wish from a bone Another wrong goodbye and a hundred sailors That deep blue sky is my home And she left in the fall, that’s her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison Well, a rat always knows when he’s in with weasels Here you lose a little every day Well, I remember when a million was a million They all have ways to make you pay And she left in the fall, that’s her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison And she left in the fall, that’s her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison

I have to have my picture taken today.

I pity all who will be involved in this process.

Sort of.

My husband won a spot in the Primary Election

and that means

he moves onto the

General Election.

Over the Primary there were things that happened that I did like-working with friends was a big

PLUS

and things happened that

I did not like

and in that time for some strange reason I developed a crazy craving for

Peach Rings

and

Sour Apple Rings.

I should probably mention I have spread my craving on to everyone who comes near those crunchy bags of sour sweetness that I now carry around at all times.

Also, I went back to reading and listening to lectures on

Physics.

 Recently I have decided to read up on String Theory.

That’s right- for FUN I read up and listen to lectures are Physics.

Want to make something out of it?

 So as the days tick down to Election Day I can only hope that there will be no shortage of Sour Peach and Apple rings -and that I find something to laugh about at least once a day.

Fingers Crossed Everyone.

I love nature.

Human nature on the other hand-

Not So Much

So my husband is out there doing what people who are running for office do on  Primary Election Day.

 They show up on corners with their campaign signs and friends and press the flesh and smile and wave.

Its going good when one of his opponents fans runs up to one of my husband’s supporters and says…

go on

GUESS

what he says.

One might  think he would  rant about my husband’s position on

taxes or jobs or the economy or education.

Oh No.

This “Fan” wants to know if my husband has a birth certificate and can he prove he is an American.

Sigh.
