The longest thread ever

I talked Mrs. Turk to get the clippers out cleaning up the mess around my ears a bit. I wanna decide what kind of mullet to rock; I am torn between Joshua Tree-era Bono or NHL scoring champ Penguins-era Jaromir Jagr? Any one else I should consider?

Apparently, the mullet decision is a difficult one for some:
For Robert A. Smith of the American Cancer Society, a haircut might be worth the risk: “It really is a trade-off between risky behavior and seeing yourself in the mirror with a mullet.”

Mine has been pretty good for a Monday. What is getting you down?

Other than the state if the universe, technology is making my job nearly intolerable.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, instead of being 101 and 103 today and tomorrow, they've revised the forecast down to 99 and 99. I like that better but that is still too hot for me this time of year. It should be 90 or so.

When I was in high school, The Monkees went through a bit of a revival. Whatever happened with them?

You’re really on a roll today with the plethora of posts. Did you recently start taking amphetamines (prescribed by a doctor, of course) for Adult ADD? 😊

Sometimes the mind wanders. And this is exactly the thread for that.

No need to do so, and in fact it's better for all involved for me to keep out of the building.
Truly not sure what I'll do with my summer this year. Ordinarily I'd be spending about 5 weeks of it traveling, but not this year. Feeling somewhat rudderless today.

Don’t get me wrong; the more posts the better. I like it.

I understand the rudderless feeling. No idea where to steer to right now.

Oh, and it is raining like a banshee right now.

I should clarify, I know the destination I’m seeking, but don’t know the path to get there. That quote still applies.

You are too far away for it to be Cristobal related, correct?

Correct. Just summer heat and humidity doing its thing.

Ah, that’s different perhaps. Taoism/Buddhism/Hinduism is not really geared for determined destinations, unless the destination is enlightenment and harmony.

Which is nice. But maybe different and certainly non-material.
