now i have time to do stuff, and do stuff i shall do!

Although I was paid a salary in Ann Arbor, my wife and children and I drank powdered milk at six cents a quart instead of the stuff that came in bottles. I was a tightwad.

I'm happy to feed the squirrels - tree rats with the agility of point guards - but in fair weather, they frighten my finches. They leap from snowbank to porch to feeder and stuff their cheek pouches with chickadee feed.

I do get free stuff.

I'll do anything for free stuff.

My Body Is A Machine Gun, My Words Are My Bullets, And The World Is My Target.
