last day of classes... + coming off some medical problems (Im Ok now)

No, nothing too serious, Dok.

I had forgotten to take my pills that morning as well. And there are too many caddisflies and too little time.

Okay for now,

I have nothing new to say, and nothing old that I can say with enough passion.

Well, that's my excuse used up already. I'll try to think of a different one.

Well, you could use the one I was going to post instead: "I'm drunk".

Every available resource is going towards MOUSTACHE.

That's a hell of a motorcycle, I'm on it.

AND HE WAS NEVER SEEN AGAIN.   

Do you know what lack of education and perspective do to people? They don't understand a flood down here, even though they're living one.  Sure, it sinks in when they see Wal – Mart washed out, then the go somewhere else.  Away from the water, the detours, the silt on the road and the damaged buildings it looks like life is just carrying on.  Out of sight, out of mind.

"Why can't I get my bus pass?"  The company that makes them is still in the swamp that was Warwick.  "Yeah, so why can't I get my bus pass?"

"Is this store ALWAYS this busy?"  No, the three closest stores are flooded out.  The Price – Rite, with it's shipping pallet displays, heavily dyed meat, and spray – painted vegetables, it's not going to be open for awhile.  Yes, it IS more expensive here.  It doesn't have the government mandated libido suppressants and arsenic for discount groceries in poor urban areas either.  (Lots of big words, but their eyes bug out whenever I tell them that.)

FEMA isn't any better.  MOST of the state is still rolling, so there's no emergency to manage.  Aid?  Assistance?  Apply for a disaster loan, they say.  Never mind those who can't work until the offices re – open.  Never mind Mark, who's place and stuff is ruined by water.  Some departments are useless unless they can cram people into an emergency shelter. 

Go house to house with pumps, mops, and quik-dry?  Nope, no use doing that.  No use actually doing something HELPFUL.  How about moving out perfectly viable businesses from the low lying morass to some of the higher situated retail spaces that have been up for lease for months? 

FEMA shakes it's dick, offer loans and leaves.  RI Unemployment tells flood victims they can apply, smiling and flashing the peacock feathers covering their flaccid deflated pocket.  The  private citizens buy every shop vac and pump they can lay hands on.  Another cleanup successfully put off the shoulders of a government we pay for "Service", and onto the shoulders of a populace already tried by rough economy.  Maybe if they weren't in the USA they'd actually get some help.

I come here for fun and occasional information. PD doesn't pay me to write or otherwise generate content. If I want to work, I'll go to work or take on some freelance stuff.

School. Flood. Creators block. Other assorted bullshit.

I've been busy visiting a dying old woman who needs to hang on by her too-long toenails till her son (my dad) gets out...settling and starting and getting in the middle of altercations between my cousin and her crazy husband (who's been brandishing his g-u-n, unfortunately, and this dude is like 3 x's my size...embracing the crazy is starting to become a little more dangerous), and just general fuckery since I have a forced-hiatus from work this month.
