. . . And I was right. It WAS an earthquake.

Posted on May 6, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

Though I must admit I was kind of hoping some roustabout Fred McMurray was developing  #flubber2015 in his garage, and blew the joint into the sky. So here’s here’s the deal. Mount Shasta–a VOLCANO IN THE RING OF FIRE–Sits just … Continue reading →

Earthquake

Posted on May 6, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

Either a bomb just went off in my neighborhood, or a truck backed into my house. A cursory walk outside my house has all my neighbors standing outside their houses… So I all I can conclude is that we’ve had … Continue reading →

The tax

Posted on May 6, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

In the incarcerated environment–and primarily this comes from my experience in the juvenile justice system, there is, no matter what any guard, counselor, authority, overseer, peeper, mutterer, mountebank, swami and necromancer has to say–a pecking order. I don’t care how … Continue reading →

And the water heater bursts open

Posted on May 5, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

  So, I figured since I don’t drink, I could rack up a retrograde bank balance for what I “don’t spend in hedonistic beer-swilling” for Cinco De Mayo. Nothing doing. I have a straight-up geyser in my house. Water everywhere.

The obligatory, Cinco De Mayo post, with an atrocious segue into horoscopes

Posted on May 5, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

I expect at any minute, a whole host of my white bread, Facebook affiliates to start posting pictures of themselves drinking loads of beer and yelling “CINCO DE MAYO!” I know I know.  A calendar date of which zero historical knowledge has … Continue reading →

The Hunger Games: It’s time to give that alcoholic coach a break

Posted on May 5, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

So I just read Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games.  I don’y know about you, but I think this book could really take off like a flash! Katniss Everdeen is REALLY good at archery.  I mean her ability to shoot arrows … Continue reading →

Hey, I never said I was THAT prolific

Posted on May 5, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

As alluded to earlier in the last post, today (and for that matter yesterday) has managed to be swallowed up in the blast radius of a giant pulse bomb known as “circumstances.”  Take that to mean work, the day, the … Continue reading →

Sometimes

Posted on May 4, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

Work is so crazy, I start pining for exile on an island, suffering from seclusion, dehydration, and hallucinogenic turns while anthropomorphising a volleyball. Consider this a blog post.

Oh yeah, and one more thing: regarding negativity

Posted on May 4, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

I could very well be accused of being 100 percent negative and rueful, melancholy and perhaps a bit spiteful in that last post.  And perhaps I can cop to bits and pieces of all of that. I know that this … Continue reading →

Dysfunctional people apparently inspire me. But I still don’t like them

Posted on May 4, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

So . . . today wasn’t exactly a prolific day for blogging.  I’d like to say it was because I was primarily engaged in a gainful career with lots and lots of little hopeful, rays of the ultraviolet variety. But … Continue reading →
