Beautiful, scenic, Alcatraz Island sits off the San Francisco coast. Its name comes from "La Isla de los Alcatraces" ("The Island of the Pelicans") as it was called by Spanish explorer Lt. Juan Manuel de Ayala. It was closed as a prison facility due to hundreds of practical reasons in 1963, and only someone whose cultural apprehension revolves around Jimmy Cagney gangster movies would want to reopen it as such.
Whenever we can't find Eddie around the house, we know she has taken a people break and found comfort underneath the comforter.
Today's free wallpaper is a closeup of barby branches with a cloudy moon behind them, like that ghostly galleon Alfred Noyes wrote about.
There was a crematorium in the county that did its business in the early mornings, and every so often, on a cloudy day, the smoky miasma hung low in the atmosphere, prompting people to call 911 and report a fire in the building. I'm sure a great many people have seen the sun reflect on this building's windows and said the same.
Whatever else happens to me in life, I can always say that I was just ten feet away from Alice Cooper when he performed at the County Courthouse steps in September 1991. Now, when I tell people that Peggy was born on the same day as Alice Cooper (Feb 4), they ask, "Who is she?"
My buddy worked at a radio station down the road where one of the other guys was one of those fanatics who stuck a Dymo label on many things, so the cool guys chided him by sticking a Dymo label on EVERYTHING. I would love to see this tag in real life so I could stick a VANITY PLATE sticker on it.
There is no day so bad that it can't be made right with a nice big ol' hunk of blueberry diner pie.
Big dogs are the best, they say, because they guard you against people breaking into the house. Yeah.
This water heater knows he has warmed up the last shower at the house and is now headed to the landfill. Rest well, faithful servant. Stay...warm.
Are you like me? Would you just HAVE to use this table, even if you didn't really need a table?!
