• Stressing Over Bills and Presidents – Thoughts from August 1 and 2, 2023

  

  August 1, 2023 I talked to my dash cam today for the first time in a while. I realized the last time I dash camed was before Quest started getting sick. My dash caming stopped when I was changing out my NAS (Network-Attached Storage) hard drives. I didn’t want to add any videos to it…

• 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…

• 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…
