Your days are numbered, Allard! NON-SEQUENTIALLY! HAAAAAAA-ha-ha-ha-ha... [cough-cough] haaaa...

Hello the House...Just checking in..changed my Avatar..which a few have told me is hard to see but the full size pic is quite funny and it looked like the 3 Amigos of Beer Can Chickens :o)

Phantom Chicken has returned..at least for now..only time will tell how long that lasts! The Jaguar Wong account is still active, so it could get confusing!

Hey! what about Curly, Larry or even Shemp(hmm Shemp Shrimp..gotta' nice 'ring' to it..hahaha..ok I'll stop now)

[confetti showers, bleating party-horns, and so forth]
Happy "Annual Lap Around the Solar System" Day!

There are several ways to post an image but this is the one I use. First right click on the image and then left click 'copy image location' (for Firefox, it says something different but similar for other browsers)..after that use the formula from the link I'm giving you, pasting what you copied between the two quotation marks " from the formula. One other thing, if it's a thumbnail then click it first before copying the image location so it will be full size. Here is the link with the formula http://html.com/attributes/img-src/

Speaking of fun: You may have heard about (or just plain heard) Roy Zimmerman's tunes. A guy with a strong voice, a great guitar, and a mind / lyrics that just don't quit. (He has LOTS of vids up on YouTube.) He's a great tonic for the era, and a plain great time. Whether by vid, or in person, you'll likely be appreciative of his work. (He's in Hollywood Sunday morning at 11, 7/23, if you want details. He and his wife tour all over the country playing in small venues (and people's homes, when there's a gathering of friends). It's usually $20 at the door -- BUT they always say in their newsletter "...or pay what you can." Their newsletter is also fun, too. Anyhoo, just a thought, if it sounds interesting. Give a holler if you want details. (And, yes, please -- drop a line any time about anything, anytime!)

Just passing by on my way to logging out, and thought I'd send up a generic flare to see what's happening in your sector of the galaxy, and how that whole "rich pageant of life" thing is going out your way.

No lottery strikes here, or I'd share. Meanwhile, the REBOOT LIFE HERE button is definitely out of whack --and I have no idea where to order more whack.

(I imagine that must be where the lottery comes into this fascinating circular absurdo-drama we call life.)

Any perspectives or clues from your grid searches?

Missus Mongo and I did a little more hunting around, and she came up with a possibility: the Borger Housing Authority, (806) 274-2612.

Granted, these folks are trying to find places for people to live, BUT: they interact all the time with landlords, owners, etc., and may have lines on those who do maintenance and upkeep. Who knows -- you may even be able to find a rent-to-buy person willing to do the maintenance and upkeep as part of the rent?

Perhaps that is the way to start the conversation with them -- as a person who has a house... then get into the details with them and see what creative solutions are available / possible?

This may not be an instant winner, but more of a "fish-until-you-find" mission for a helpful person, persons, or group. At least, they're an interactive hub among people with housing needs and those who provide housing. Surely, one hopes, those folks will know people who do maintenance and upkeep for tenants and landlords? Yeesh! From some internet searching of Borger, this may be the best lead. (But, hey -- what do we know, a zillion miles away?)

As always: May the Farcical Forcicle* be with you.

Just thought I'd check in and see how the start of your summer is going? We've been lucky here till recently but hot weather has arrived to stay for the next 3 months. So it's early for any outside activities(if you can help it) and by 10 or 11 hopefully you're inside with some decent air conditioning.
