The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Julie Gerberding, addressed the Senate last Tuesday on the health impact of global warming in the United States. On most news days, this would go un-noticed. It would have most likely been reported, but the public wouldn’t have noticed it. After all, Paris Hilton was […]
Back in Mama’s apartment. It feels so strange to be here. In Kings Mountain, I mean. It’s been an interesting day. Victoria dropped Mama and I off at Tampa International Airport this morning. That was kinda hard for me. I didn’t want to leave. But at the same time, I couldn’t bear the idea of […]

We got Mama out of the house some today. We’d planned to do that yesterday, but it rained all day. So we just hung out. Today, though, we took her to the Friendly Fisherman out at John’s Pass in Madeira Beach. Then we wandered around Hubbard’s Marina a bit, looking at the birds. Mama got […]
Turned the truck in this morning. Victoria and I rode around for a bit. She showed me downtown Saint Petersburg. It’s a really cool place. This town has a wonderful vibe to it. It’s touristy and eclectic at the same time. And there’s lots of water. How can you not like a place where there’s […]
Kind of cooling out. Been a long day. We got in around 3:30 this morning, and we all immediately crashed. Victoria gave Mama her bed, I slept on the couch, and Victoria bedded down with her daughter, Katie. I was so tired it took awhile to drift off to sleep. When we got up, Victoria […]
I couldn’t tell you where I am. Well … Georgia. I-95. That’s about it. I’m hoping to reach Jacksonville by midnight. We left a hell of a lot later than I wanted to. That was my fault. Well, it was Mama’s fault, too. I waited two and a half hours this morning for Mama to […]
Oh, gods. I am so tired. Actually, “tired” doesn’t even begin to cover it. I’m three steps away from delirious. We got a late start, but Victoria and I got the truck loaded. I don’t really know when we got over there, but I’d say it took us about seven hours to get it done. […]
Victoria came over and hung out today. I took her to Gastonia and showed her the storage room. When I raised the door, her exact words were “holy crap”. Hehe. Yes. There’s that much stuff in there. But it’s a good sign, I think, that she didn’t run screaming. That would’ve been a perfectly logical […]
I finally got my checks from Epes today. They fucked me good. They took $600 from me because I brought the truck to Greensboro from Florida. I expected they would hurt me, but the $600 surprised me. Well, fine. Epes can go fuck themselves. I always thought the company was different, but they’re not. Keep […]
