Perpetual Ruminations

My thoughts released; a mind set free

These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations.

Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free.

Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

Psychedelic rock? Not exactly my taste!

Yeppers, parents made a difference and what was on the radio. Mostly classical at home and rock on the radio, even an occasional baseball game. Country wasn't popular in our area; polkas were. No hate-thy-neighbor talk shows until after the 70s.

I liked rock and roll when I was a kid..loved the Beatles. My husband liked county so I listened to it for awhile.. now I only listen to Christian music. I just like it better now unless Elvis is playing!!

My parents weren't much into music, though we listened to country by default because that's the local station the radio picked up. It wasn't until I heard Born to Run on a staticky AM radio that I discovered the wonders of rock and roll.

I don't think any of it corrupted me, though. Movies did. And books.

Some of these track names have great prompt potential. I'd love to read a story about Penicillin Penny.

You should consider using it for

Some night frost still here and there, but spring is definitely springing. The bats have emerged, and tonight I spotted my first hedgehog of the year! Now for the newts, and the return of the swallows.

that is another question for another day entry. I do assume it was one such that possessed a neighborhood raccoon recently.

I think the term for eldritch horrors entering through the rift is termed "Enter Sandman" as sung by Metallica.

The only question then is how many eldritch horrors can squeeze through the rift before it closes.

Gotta love creatures of the night! They're always so unpredictable. I'm glad it was just a racoon.

Stimulating

Sometimes an idea for a story, poem, or blog entry arrives from an unsuspected source. That's the case today after the delivery of a water pump. The pump is a rechargeable unit designed to fit on top of a three or five gallon water bottle. We use them for camping, and it's always a hassle to pick them up and pour them, so I decided to invest in this portable pump.

After the package arrived I opened it and inspected the contents, plugged the pump into a USB charger, and looked at the instructions. The very first line was a warning which prompted me to write this entry:

Please do not use this product to pump alcohol and other stimulating liquids such as oil.

An attorney, a cowboy, and a health-nut walk into a bar. The bartender asks, "What'll it be for y'all today?"

The attorney answers, "Scotch, on the rocks, sir."

The cowboy replies, "Bourbon, neat pardner."

The health-nut, showing off that he only drinks healthy beverages answers, "A glass of cod-liver oil, and could you please garnish it with a stalk of celery."

Sorry to the health-nuts, I mean no offense. But, I had never thought of oil of any kind as a stimulating liquid unless you consider how it would stimulate one's digestive track! Rest assured, we will only use the pump for fresh, clean water...
