My Abnormalities – Thoughts from July 22 and 23, 2023

July 22, 2023 I was talking to a new employee about several subjects. I have alternative points of view to almost everything he said. He was saying it’s not illegal to use a VPN (virtual private network). I agreed, but said he was lying when he did. We use free services in exchange for information…

Never Seeing Quest Again – Thoughts from July 18, 2023

I just got a call at work from Patti about Quest. Quest was in our bedroom on the floor, and she couldn’t lift her head. Patti’s sister came over and they are going to take Quest to the vet. Patti and I dealt with this situation before. Sister (the cat) had the same thing happen…

Celebrating in Annoyance – Thoughts from July 17, 2023

Today is a big day at my work. July 17, 1955, D-land opened. I can still recite the dedication from memory. I memorized it before I came to work here. Memorizing things was something I did back then. It has reached my permanent memory. After eighteen years of working here, I can say that. I…

Thinking About Quest – Thoughts from July 16, 2023

I’ve become the guy who brings down the room by talking about Quest going blind. I can’t really talk about anything else because it’s the only thing on my mind. She just turned thirteen years old and I don’t know if she’s going to make it to fourteen. I tell people her age and they…

Fantasy, Reality, and the Unreal – Thoughts from July 12 and 15, 2023

July 12, 2023 Listen up, people. I’ve got something to say. Just kidding. If I had something to say, I would just say it. I don’t like it when people introduce what they’re going to say. Patti does this quite often. She says, “I’m going to tell you something, but you have to promise not…
