Early this morning, I see an email from my realtor in my inbox: Note: I blocked out her name in all the captures. Right away, I noticed something; something aside the fact she wouldn't ask me for "urgent help". I noticed her signature was missing her phone number and realtor info. I correctly surmised her...

Some — not many — might have noticed a serious derth of new fiction writing on my part. Whenever I've not written for a while I need a kick-start to get my inner writer up off his butt. The way I normally do that is to read as much of my stuff as I can... Continue Reading →
I have many photos waiting for the light of blog. I have many opinions, too, about all sorts of things. Practically on an hourly basis, I read or see something that sparks me wanting to say (write) something. Plus, you know, the airwaves and interweb are filled with opinions about this or that thing. It's... Continue Reading →
Have you ever had so much pent up inside that instead of producing a flood of content you end up being creatively constipated and produced next to nothing? No? . . . it must just be me, then, and when it happens, I fall back on posting a few photos and talking about random stuff.... Continue Reading →

I've been pretty good about avoiding politics . . . . . . and religion . . . . . . but I do occasionally fall into the trap of talking about guns. Note: I don't own, nor claim ownership to any of the above pictures. It's not often, mind you. Say I'm someplace like... Continue Reading →
I've been gone a month . . . not that the casual reader might have noticed. Sure, I had a disclaimer at the beginning of each post, but I had scheduled posts as Disperser Tracks 'heartbeats' of sorts, keeping the blog live. What I had not mentioned was that I scheduled thirty heartbeats, one for... Continue Reading →
A lot of people are likely gearing up to spring this or that April Fool's joke on someone. Don't. Your life and theirs will be the better for it. I have good news to share with everyone. First, let me refresh people's mind of something that I said I would put on my bucket list . .... Continue Reading →
As we face a number of days with cold and snow, I figure a butterfly is a good photo for a calendar. As I looked at it, it seemed a bit bland . . . so I played around with a few post-processing filters. That has nine or ten different filters layered to create the... Continue Reading →
Writer Unboxed latest post consists of the contributor's Valentine notes to Writing. Now, I'm not a contributor, but I have been in a long-term relationship with writing, so like many readers I too added mine in the comments. . . . then I thought it would also look nice here (with a few minor revisions -...

How about that! We made it through 1/12th of 2015 and we ain't dead yet! That's gotta count for something, ain't it? So, February . . . perhaps what we need is a flower. A flower to remind us of summer days. A flower to remind us that this too shall pass. A flower to... Continue Reading →
If you listen to some people, I probably owe Joe Martin a few added years of life. I say that based on the premise that laughter improves your health and prolongs your life. I don't know how much stock I put on that, but I do like losing myself in humor and I like to laugh.... Continue Reading →
