I have a garden of sage and mint.

The scents are not alive unless you damage them.

Maybe this is why I've always been attracted to damaged women...

*chuckle*

I may do Mint next year. Just need to figure out a drip system for it. It grows wild up around the mountain streams. I'll probably plant some Sage seeds this fall. Let them overwinter and sprout in the spring.

It took me a while to figure out fresh Sage. That is one strong herb and it only takes less than half of what the recipes call for when using store bought stuff.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Okay, maybe it's just where a I am located...



But try killing either one off?
It's like that invasive South-American flower that I keep trying to kill off.
It's growing in my garden, my compost and in my dead tree stumps.
They even overcome the weeds!

 

[bellisarius]

Mint loves to have it's feet wet so you're in a good location for that. That's why out here you only find it around streams.

 

[SpeareChucker]

So you don't have a lot of aspirin on the bark?






Shot a tree rat yesterday.
Big stupid took two hours to track it down and kill it.
She has it buried somewhere and wants to be let out every two hours to check on it.

So I meet this girl. She's definitely among some of the smartest people I've ever met in my life but it's possible that she is the smartest person that I've ever met. It's also possible that she's a pathological liar and very good at cold reading. Either way, she is fascinating.

She's apparently involved in Alzheimer's research and all of the things that she was saying are valid for that field she's at a minimum extremely well-read on the field. Her undergraduate degree is in hospital Administration and she's got some sort of doctorate. She put herself through school working as an EMT. Did I mention that she's also mixed martial artist and only 22 years old?

Ok, here's where.it gets weird. Since in the recent past I've found myself frequently crossing paths with various people in uniforms, we were quickly playing the who do you know game. There's a fire captain that figures prominently into a story about an assignment I was sent on and he reminds me of Fred Gwynne not only did she know him she was on that particular engine. The night the story took place there was a woman on the crew of about her general appearance and proportions. I'm horrible with faces so I wouldn't be able to say for sure. She new the patient. I ended up with a guy who was in a wheelchair needed assistance but not specific medical attention who had soiled himself. He had been refused service because technically speaking he was a bit of a Biohazard. I'm not squeamish and I have the unique ability of being able to turn off my disgust reflex at will. Mind you, after I do what has to be done it comes back with a vengeance but I can deal during with just about anything. I could probably even deal with Wats sewage problems.

It started with a guy in a wheelchair and several security guards and I took over the situation and it seemed best to get him to a hotel and it was hard to do because the Phoenix Open was in town right then so I ended up stuck with him for a while and he would go in and out of coherence. Given his General Dimensions I would have thought that diabetes was likely and I was concerned that he was perhaps having some sort of insulin related crash. Before I came to that idea he just seemed possibly out of it and perhaps in need of a actual psych inpatient referral. So the first thing I did it when it looked like I just was not going to be able to help this guy was get the police involved with the idea that he might need to go on a psych hold. About the time they got there he went from really hard to understand to being reasonably Lucid. At no time did he seem particularly high or drunk so I felt like it was some kind of medical issue. So we were doing okay for a bit and then he started crashing again so I thought will let's get the fire department involved because somebody with actual medical training needs to look at this guy.. the captain was trying to gently encourage the guy to ask to be transported to the hospital but the guy knew that the hospital would just toss him back out but the captain was trying to point out to the guy that yeah but in the meantime you have someplace warm until you get yourself sorted out.

Anyway she knew the story but I'm not positive that she knew the story and didn't just do a cold read on me.

On verbals alone I would put her a genius-level IQ, so The Prodigy track degrees actually make sense. She was also fit enough to I have worked as an EMT.

It's a very big city so if that actually was her that night what an odd coincidence to run into her again in a completely different setting for a completely different reason on a completely different job.

Big stupid is going to end up showing little stupid where it's at. *chuckle*

Good Morning Threadsters

The rains here are so sporadic, The first cutting of hay is still in the fields for a lot of folks. Even though mine is in the barn, I am having anxiety for those who don't have their barns filled yet.

I had an odd little experience this AM. After returning from the store I went out to close the front gate and there was a Robin sitting about 15' away with a fair sized cricket in its beak. The bird hopped about 5' closer to me, shock its head like a terrier worrying a rat, cocked its head and looked at me. I just stood there and watched it so it hopped a couple of feet closer and repeated the sequence. Now I'm wondering what the hell's with this bird? And when I did nothing it shock its head again, cocked its head and looked at me. It stood there for another 5 sec. or so then turned and flew away.

I thought about that off and on for the better part of the morning. I can't help but wonder if the damned bird expected me to whip out my phone and video its antics? Every one wants a viral video on YouTube I suppose.

Home/motel. Sorry to bolt this morning, but the wifies here at Scrotel13 weren't gettin' it done. They were getting almost nothing done. So I took my self-absorbed self across the skreet to the Shoney's breakfast buffet and overate on bacon. Like such is even possible.


Went and picked up my FedEx package and got started. Got most of the windows sorted out. I ran out of time. Tomorrow is pressure washing and sign adjustment. ADA signs must be 60" above the surface, so we're making sure he has some choices.


And you know, truth is, Wat could deal with Wat's sewage issue save for two reasons. One, it ain't ours, and two, if Wat acts anything but disgusted and so on and so forth, then it'll find its way to the lexicon of Things Wat Does, and we cunt be havin' that.



Got a flock of bikers in here tonight. Oh, I killed some small bird - hit it with the car. This morning. I think it was a female cardinal.


And I wrote this last night and couldn't post it because bullshit . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Sunday!!! Gots the wifi for the moment. Maybe they sorted it out. The front desk guy said it's a problem around the area, like maybe it's a utility problem. Who the fuck knows. It either works or it don't.


I ordered a new computer at breakfast yesterday and had it shipped to Mom. The cats would have just filled it up and choked it off with pussy pics before I got home.


Day 14 and counting . . . . There should be time off later this week.


Insh'Allah . . . .

Took the small one with me to Costco the other day. We picked up 4 lb of pistachios as per usual, I probably should not have acquiesced to the request for 4 lbs of Jelly Bellies.

If I keep this up, I'm going to need the number for von_Bismarck's liposuction specialist.

lol

I have deer here that are like that.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

LOL!!!!


Talk about schadenfreude . . . .


Which reminds me of a weasel casserole recipe.


I have been ignoring my 2nd cuppa, and that is unconscionable.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Wat?


Was this computer a Mac, or do you just enjoy throwing money away...?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I made a detour.


It's an experiment.


If I Mac, or when I Mac, I reckon I'll buy a new one, and I ain't dropping that kind cake without a plan. Having to score a new one was unplanned.


Besides, I have bike hotrod bits to score this summer, so . . . .

 

[SpeareChucker]

LUTHER!

 

[von_Bismarck]

Que only wishes his tired body was as trim as mine. Sad!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

One of the most effective ways to make your bike faster is to weigh less.


After these last few months, mine is gonna fucking fly.

 

[SpeareChucker]

You're dating a smaller-breasted girl?





Less wind-resistance too!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

A what?


This week marks the since-longtime anniversary of the end of Wat's last marriage, thanks be to Allah. And today is the anniversary of Wat's first fullblown migraine.



Funny how the two are similar.



Off to see these sleazy weasels, and to hear their whines . . . .

I shop at the wrong record store...
