i have been remiss where posting to this bog is concerned ..........been drawn away but other things.......took a short walk this morning.......needed a few things...spent a bit of time watching the wild geese feed........still can't get over how fast the goslings have grown........many are now 3/4 to 7/8 the size of the adults.......the goose down is now covered by adult feathers........been fun to watch them grow........for the first time in  a few days legs are feeling better....for a while there the best thing i could say about my legs is that they reached from my hips to the floor.........

when i was working  [have been retired for a while]......i was a the man with the plan.....and tried to anticipate every possible permutations that might have to be met.........and usually always had a backup if things didn't go as anticipated.........but even then......although i always have a plan......and several options......the games i'm draw to are those which are impossible to predict every possible permutation........that is to say i love 'winging it'.......reacting and at the 'spur of the moment' coming up with a tactic to at the best advance my cause...but at the very least limit the damage.......

[ the mad one wanders in, looks around, sees the cobwebs, realizes it's been over a month since i posted......oy vey]
truth be told, i haven't forgotten about this, just been distracted......by blogshares....face book....et al...
been watching 16 adult Canada geese......and their 34 goslings.....some of the 'kids' are almost as big as the adults by this time
also 5 baby woodchucks [sometimes called groundhogs].....cute little devils......couple of them got into a wrestling match the other day.........what a gas.......

i don't know if i mentioned but for the last 5 months or so i've been using a chrome book.....all i need is a connection to the internet......and the chrome book does just that......plus i'm rid of microshit.....
on another completely unrelated point........i have no great love for either Clinton or for that matter Trump.........but it comes down to one question........the next administration will probably nominate 3 judges to the supreme count.......the question is who do you trust????

Thursday was beautiful temperature near 80*F.....but rained the last 3 days and hovered around 40*F all Sunday....to the east of us up in the hill country they got some snow..........enough already.....it's the middle of May......

[ the mad one wanders in]
been awhile since i posted here....a lovely spring day....the next 3 days rain and the chance of snow on sunday.........walked last night to get some groceries for the next 3 days..
been consumed by the online game i play for the last couple of days......

i have been conflicted for the last day plus......but in the final analysis ...........there is only one possible conclusion.....one possible path........one possible decision........and that's the one thing in life that is the most difficult for me..........wait and see..........the ball is in the other court and i must wait and see what happens..........[ you may have noticed that i have not mentioned the conundrum i'm dealing with ] and that's part of the final conclusion i reached......i have to respect the other's choice.......walk off the court......lob......overhand.......whatever.......
[obviously this post is for me.........to see in print the conflict that is in my mind..........]

i got the feeling i may have opened a very large can of worms [figuratively speaking][aka an american idiom]]............can't say who, what, when, where or why...........but i must admit i didn't know at the time i had a can opener in my hand [ again a figure of speech]..........forgive.......some peeps like to play with balls, or cats, or dogs, or even food.........but i  love playing with words.....i need to decide what my response should be.........haven't decided yet.......if it was my 'can of worms' i'd just let them roam free.......but it's not mine..............oy vey.........
