Perpetually on my Way...

A man with more money than me once wrote:

Well, the wind is blowin’ harder now

Fifty knots of there abouts,

There’s white caps on the ocean.

And I’m watching for water spouts

It’s time to close the shutters

It’s time to go inside.

I live in Houston, Texas. Lived in the south close to big bodies of water most of my life. Always loved the beach.

Southeast Texas for damn near all of my adult life. Wasn’t for the family I have here, I’d be ready to leave.

Hell, I probably am ready any ways.

If I could muster up the money needed and had an idea of a place to go to and a way to get there, I’d likely be gone. Kinda sick of the heat and the humidity. Nine months of that shit — year in year out can make a body a little crazy. Or a lotta bodies a lot crazy… The Crazies have a lot to do with it too, right now for me. Have you seen our fucking state government?

Even though I love the beach and ocean, I ain’t been to the beach in a while now. Dunno if I ever will again. At least not at Galveston… That ain’t my idea of a beach any more.

And then there’s this shit…

“Good Luck.” The Man said. “Thoughts and Prayers” other Versions of The Man said.

Great Googly Moogly. “Good Luck”. Been my experience that luck — good or bad or indifferent — ain’t got much to do with this kinda shit.

And “Thoughts and Prayers…” Hah! I reckon that’s nice. Don’t mean a hill of beans, but it does seem to absolve the person sayin’ it of any guilt. Most times any action either. And that’s all well and good. “Thoughts and Prayers”, indeed. But again, it’s been my experience — Unless the “Thoughts and Prayers” are backed with some kinda solid action, they ain’t gonna do shit for those that needs it most.

I hate fucking hurricanes.

I think — don’t know for sure cause I ain’t a fucking climate scientist, but I believe them when they say it because they do and they can interpret the data a lot better than I can, a lot of the climate issues we’re havin’ right now are influenced by mankind.

Not fond of any extreme weather right now. Be it fucking hot or fucking cold.

But it seems likely I need to get the fuck outta here for a while. Yeah. And I don’t see that happy little thing happenin’ any time soon, either.

Good luck… HaHa! Yeah. Good luck to us. Looks like we’re gonna need it.

Keep us in yer thoughts and prayers too! HaHa!
