Let’s think. Why would hairdressers, massage therapists and tattoo parlors be opening among the select few non essential businesses in Georgia today?  Let’s see–they all consist of touching, so–either he has it in for these people, or it’s follow the money.  Surely not!

1. He could be buddies with the owner of one or all of  these places (or he or his family own one or a string of them?)
2. He could be a misogynist, out to get primpy women
3. He could want to get rid of the part of society that flocks to tattoo shops
4. He may be super religious and has massage therapists confused with massage parlors for sex.                                                                                                                                                                  Sorry, I don’t live in Georgia, and am really looking at the problem from a logical, not political, point of view.  But even politically?    Suggestions welcome.                             OH–Maybe he figures many won’t want to go to these, and he can avoid protests!

Been reading too much Gertrude Stein.

Went to sleep last night listening to the fm station that gives me colorful images, and it threw a tantrum in the middle of the night. Need a new one, quick!

Sorry. Andy Varga, Lynn Rodgers, Chuck Schaffer, Shirley Subora and Winona, for failing to respond to your trusting snail mail–trusting that I would answer or return.  I have no excuse, but here’s my guilt.

Well that’s a downer, isn’t it.  Just re-read some of my pages (see top of page) and some of them seem very good.  The gift of my best book via a pdf on this site did get on the page,  but I don’t think anyone has taken me up on it, or believed it.

Why is evolution favoring Carona virus in lieu of us?

My town is pretty much dependent on a university.  Housing has already burgeoned too much.  We are getting used to ordering by the internet.   What lies around the corner for us?  In a way I’m kinda glad I’m 84.  (But only in a way).

I could use help with grown out-hair…

Where have all the flowers gone…

I don’t like to hate…

Will Fed X replace the post office?

Remembering Buddy Davis, journalism professor at the U of Fla., who spoke frequently of “the milk of human kindness.”

Just finished The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas.  Surprised!

What is your status quo?
This or that, yes or no?
Cisgender’s binary,
but on the contrary
how would it seem
if you fell in between,
not male or female,
but beyond the pale?
An archetype, that’s what.
Half man half woman but
how to think of yourself
dressed in power and pelf
like a queen or a king?
But yet…but yet…which?
Be the son or the bitch?
And really be neither,
a free-to believer!
Now shut both of your eyes,
try to visualize
YOU! Choose neither one!
And not just for fun!
So don’t ask what I be
I be me! And free!
And non-binary!?
