A Fine Layer Of Dust

Posted by Autumnpuma , 28 August 2009 - - - - - - · 32 views

It's been a while since I've stepped into this blog and, except for the dust, it looks quite like how I left the place. Over there by the window are Bruce's empty shell-casings from the time he and Cav re-enacted the Battle of Plassey and I just stubbed my toe on an old Scimitar exhaust manifold. I had better find a box and start picking these...

Stick The Blah On The Thing And The What.

Posted by Autumnpuma , 27 August 2008 - - - - - - · 37 views

So my house is coming along nicely. I've got most of the repairs done, but it has yet to rain since I've moved in so I expect the first cloudburst to bring lots of fun-filled surprises.

My art studio has a flaw that I can't seem to work around: it's too friggin hot in there! Every time I sit down to paint, my face melts off (No, no,...

Aaaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!

I've got eleventy billion tiny things to fix around chateau Puma and I'm going slowly insane. Why can't we all live in nice, simple mud daub and thatch houses again? I suppose it would be bad for Russ' business, but it would eliminate the need to fix the wiring in the attic. Or replace the drywall behind the water heater. Or the broken locks...

Château Puma

Posted by Autumnpuma , 08 April 2008 - - - - - - · 42 views

Well, I've just bought a piece of land with a bit of wood and stucco on it. My castle. I've never been so busy in my life. Progress reports of my declining sanity to follow.

Electra Goes A-dancing.

Posted by Autumnpuma , 05 March 2008 - - - - - - · 33 views

Father-Daughter dances. Who was the lunatic that came up with this thing? Probably a bored teacher wanting the bit of amusement that watching 30 middle-aged fathers trying to dance would provide. All the women in my life gushed at the concept of this dance and murmured about how sweet it was and how my daughter (aged 9 years) would love it...all the while...

Ramblings On Love And The Healing Of The Soul

Posted by Autumnpuma , 18 January 2008 - - - - - - · 36 views

We all learn from experience and perhaps this entry might help someone...it certainly helped me by typing it out....

I suppose true love comes for us all at one time or another. I found mine when I was young and ignorant. Ignorant of the fact that when you find something good you grab ahold of it and never let it go. You brave whatever you must...

Battlefronts

Posted by Autumnpuma , 14 November 2007 - - - - - - · 39 views

Soon all us dedicated fans of F1 will see two pivotal battles taking place over the very essence of the Formula World Championship. The first battle is between McLaren and BMW/Williams. Who wins or loses isn't as important as what happens to the Driver's Championship as a result. If two drivers are excluded from the Brazilian result, Lewis Hamilton...

Fire, Part 3

Posted by Autumnpuma , 25 October 2007 - - - - - - · 23 views

We continue to burn. No winds now so perhaps the firefighters can get a handle on this thing.

I have received good news in my own little pocket of reality: my mother-in-law's house is still standing. I thank God for it, but likely these things just happen, with no approval or help one way or the other from Him. A house standing doesn't mean that...

Fire, Part 2

Posted by Autumnpuma , 23 October 2007 - - - - - - · 36 views

Through all the trials of tracking my daughter and mother-in-law, I was at work and my wife was at home. My wife was the focal point for information. She was in contact with her brother in San Diego and, because he is a former mayor, and working for the San Diego County now, he had quite a bit of current information on the Fires. None of that information,...

Fire, Part 1

Posted by Autumnpuma , 23 October 2007 - - - - - - · 33 views

I'm writing this as a sort of stress-relief outlet. Bruce mentioned that the wildfires have taken a heavy toll on San Diego County and that's an understatement. During stressful times like this we all tend to be thankful when there's no great loss of life. We don't think of the trials many go through while being uprooted and sent to the...
