where have i been

well it's been a while since i posted....mainly because i forgot my password and user name.
had to have a little time to get that taken care of and i am not very strong in the patience dept.

but i have just returned from a trip to south texas for the marburger antique show and to marfa
for the chinati open house. all was fun.

most memoriable would be:
south texas : truck spotted with christian fish and nra sticker on either side of the tailgate.
marfa: met joy who claims to be 80, although she was a damn youthful 80. joy was selling
rocks amoungst all of the art goings on. i loved that and stopped to talked to her and admire her
rocks. she went on to tell me all of the rocks and formations came from her land and she was a
trapper for a living most all of her life. she showed me photos of her from the 70's with her
in sexy western garb and many pelts and strung up animals she had trapped. my favorite was
her with some 8 ft. black panther. you don't hear many women in this trade. she said it was the
easiest money she thought she could earn at the time. sent all of the pelts to seattle. of course
times have changed, but thanks goodness someone like joy hasn't........

met mystery sue ninez

well i finally met sue ninez last night!! years have gone by hearing about her and wondering in the back of mind if she was indeed as real as Perry imagined her.
I saw Perry on the street and crossed to chat with him and then I saw her sitting there. I knew her right away from the photo in Perry's belt buckle, even if it is all crumpled and faded.
Sue Ninez was pretty and nice. She cares for Perry......I may love her too.

getting it straight

Well this post is for anyone who read my recent blog about peewee (perry).
Perry came by yesterday to straigten it out that the computer image he came by
with last week is not Sue Ninez. Of course I had already guess it, but I let
him come about it on his own. He said that Sue Ninez was even jealous that he
was carrying that girl....whoever she is.....around with him.

That being straightened out, Perry had brought a big cheap ceramic wall clock with
a flag and God Bless America on it and the clock face in the middle of it all.
Guess Perry didn't need a clock like he needed a xerox photo of he and Sue Ninez.
He has done a switch out. He covered up the part where she had written something,
but Perry lacks in the reading dept and he already knew in his heart
that it read "Love you with all my heart forever - Sue Ninez"

spider free for all

I went with a couple of friends on a little road trip this week to see the huge spider web that has recently made national news. It is at Lake Tawakoni State Park.

So with cocktail fixins packed for after web viewing celebrations, me and my buddies took off to see the oddity of spiders working together to build a huge web covering many trees.

The state park is small and it wasn't too difficult to find the spot of the web weirdness on this hiking trail. We happened to be the only ones at there at that time, although the park ranger said that 1400 had come to see it on labor day.

Anyway with no one around me and Carol snuck under the yellow caution tape....well it only said caution, not keep out.....and we got closer.

You could just see the litle brown spiders at work spinning, stretching, and making it bigger as we stood underneath it.
At our feet were numerous big wolf spiders hoping to get near the big web too; and we saw a couple other different spiders. I guess word was out in spider world of the big web...it wsa kinda like the idea of web woodstock in spider world. they couldn't work fast enough and get there quick enough.

The entire webbing covered mulitple trees...like maybe 5 or 6.....it hummed with all of the mosquitoes caught up in it and stank like you wouldn't belive like dead bugs. AFter the smell hit us, we could hardly get out of there fast enough and back to the car for cocktails.

You know any good reason will do for me to celebrate with friends and cocktails and i think that odd spider fest viewing even with the rank smell was a damn great reason.

pee wee

this is my dear friend perry with my bad dog pivo, but pivo loves perry. perry also goes by peewee, but i have always had a more formal relationship to him and called him by his birth name.

perry and i have been friends for about 20 yrs, so we have some history and are pretty tight. perry is what you might call a little slow, but that happens when your parents are too closely related. all this adds up to at times i get to know more than i need to about him and perry's brothers, who all live together.

perry has a girlfriend of sorts (he has many) named sue ninez. i actually think her name may be sue inez, but perry has a twist to his speech and well sue ninez flows so i just go with it as i have never had the opportunity to meet her.

perry brought in a folded piece of paper today that he wanted to share with me, but he was afraid it might make me embarrassed. after asuring him that i could take it he unfolded a printed off the internet image of a girl's panties ...camel toe crotch was the joke and it did look wrong. somehow perry had got it in his head that sue ninez sent this to him on the computer and that it was her. well i don't know for a fact, but have a pretty good idea that it is not sue ninez and seeing that
perry has trouble in the reading dept., he couldn't tell that it was a joke.

perry went on to tell me that he got a hard on so big that it ripped his diaper. yes my sweet perry does have some issues and wears the diaper for medical reasons, but this was one image i would have to work to remove from my mind....at least over time with several chuckles inbetween.

long day already by jr

hoochie mama

I had call to go to austin this weekend and on my way down stopped at The Shade Tree in Lorena.
I have a love for dive bars and the weirder the better in my book. I use a couple along hwy 35 at
a potty/beer break. better than a gas station or rest stop visit and takes about the same amount
of time.
The Shade Tree makes the mark. I had visited one other time and liked it.
Imagine.... built in the 40's, about as smoky redneck bar as you can get, and fitted with older
weathered rednecks that look about 20 yrs. older than their real ages.

I waded in through the smoke and was greeted once again by the rebel flag over the bar.
There was a fold out table with about 6 people propped up in their chairs around it.
As I passed them to head to the bar i heard one old fella say...."there's a hoochie mama".

I started snickering to myself. Never have been called that. and i did not even have on any sexy
stepping out wear. but i was a lady, one about 20 yrs. junior of any of them, and well i
was a lady.....

Ordered my beer then got up to go to the restroom. the rednecks do have a clean one....one
thing that makes the mark for them. Then i heard another fella say...."yep that's a hoochie mama."

I left before they could get the jukebox going and get the party started. That is probably
a story told before at The Shade Tree.

vanity

I don't want this blog to turn into a rant site....but i have been thinking about
people or advertisements where folks use their own picture to advertise whatever.
store owners, realtors, plastic surgeons, dentists, etc......

i just dont get the idea...what like i think he or she looks so good that i would
want them to get my business whatever that might be????

i am afraid that i will always look at it as the opposite. but whatever moves ya......

me in my mind today and most days

fuck... finally got it going

I have been ramblin' on for months to my sweetie bruce about how he should be doing a blog and today i was listenin to this
great music put up on the web by some mom radio guy and was trying to figure out just who he is by looking at his blog.
well i couldn't find out a thing, but decided....shit i should just do this myself.
1. anyone who knows me knows i have plenty to say and stories to tell.
2. if pinky can do it....well maybe i can too. pinky as my mentor....won't he love that. i do.
but i don't know if i can ever hold i candle to him.
