And the music there it was hauntingly familiar

Shawshank, August 20, 2020

Finally, I woke up and no one else was awake. For 15 minutes. But it was a nice and quiet 15 minutes. I managed to brew some coffee, and get most of the first cup in me, before conversation started. So today was the day that we were supposed to be going into SlightlyBiggerTown to…

It’s getting hot in here

Shawshank, August 19, 2020August 19, 2020

Yeah, it’s warm. It’s 99f or 37c here. It’s warm enough that I can’t concentrate on reading because the book is sticking to me, and I’m sticking to it. My mom is considering putting the cats out in the trailer, where she can turn on the AC. She asked me this morning to think about…

He bought two-fifths of lead free gasoline

Shawshank, August 17, 2020

  “Please stop talking to me.” That’s what om thinking this morning. It’s not even 8am, you’re supposed to be asleep. My mom is awake, she re-organized my grammas craft area, and is actively trying to get me to talk to her. The coffee isn’t finished brewing. Yes folks, I can hear my gramma moving…
