the post # for today

Over two thousand - five hundred of these stabs into the ether

In other words, the ether has been riddled w/ words

Emojis. You've heard about them and now I'm using them.
Why ?
Dunno
B/c my phone can
and makes it easy

neat, eh ? the date

What zip code is that ?
a happy place no doubt

Netfix. Binged a bit 6 episodes of ' Hell on Wheels '
in 2 days. Well, actually 30 h. So, one night and an afternoon

Eek. talk about slothful

HoW, the series. Plot : ex Reb seeks revenge. The chase and executions leads Cullen to a railroad work camp. People die and he gets to be foreman of the advance team.
An enigmatic type, he gradually reveals his past. This happens mostly in Ep 6.
Good guy or bad guy - you hope that he is better than he lets on. The scale is tipping goodward at this point.

on Swedish Culture

' you can't slide in here on a shrimp sandwich '

An American TV host asked for uniquely Swedish expressions and got the above

Still used as a rebuff to a perceived high and mighty attitude

Alicia Virkander, babe in residence, was the interviewee. 

A tune came to me while swimming < really there isn't much to think about - pool bottom / splashing noise etc >

" Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few


by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood

TG for Google etc

BTW, Google is tracking me. Apparently, I turned on ' location history '
Today, G man produced an itinerary of my / our travels
Spooky.

some brilliant title

However, it has some history

" I have measured out my life in teaspoons "

by T.S. Eliot

the actual quote and explanation

Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. ... When Prufrock says, in the poem's seventh stanza, "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons," what he means is that his life has always been carefully controlled and predictable—in other words, measured. The image of the coffee spoon is one of middle-class domesticity.

I always had the feeling of failure when I heard those words. The context was a character quoting his wife, an English professor in Venice. The he, is Inspectore Guido Brunetti as written by Donna Leon < American ex-pat, in Venice >

Maybe, giving sparingly to life. Never exploding into the mayhem of existence

Well, whatever its not me
I mean - my life has been in coffee spoons
