Well, that bad luck is on his head I reckon.  Would hate to be in his shoes.   Eh&#8217; I yelled at him, but I don&#8217;t think he really understood.  Not quite his fault, all there is amount the upper middle classes in Portland and Cali is a kind of clueless narcissism.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve had a lot of chest tightness and trouble breathing, pain in my chest, joint problems and frankly that&#8217;s making my goals a little harder to reach.  They were always extravagant goals though.  Haven&#8217;t gave up on &#8217;em, just working on it from different angles.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Had a premonition and strong nudge lately.  I can&#8217;t explain it really &#8211; it&#8217;s not that it makes sense but uh, well I listen to such things.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"192\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/carbon2022-05-01-12-29-27.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/carbon2022-05-01-12-29-27.png 192w, https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/carbon2022-05-01-12-29-27-160x300.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/><figcaption>Dr. Evil here is a little too on the nose to be believed.

Learn Japanese.  Run a Marathon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I watched a Youtube video where they served a fried rat.  Okay, okay, but they didn&#8217;t remove the head, arms or tail.  Seriously wondering&#8230;.you couldn&#8217;t even cut off the tail?  Nobody is going to eat a rat tail.  I&#8217;ve eaten a few squirrels but they had the head and tail cut off and they were properly done up, lol, a bit dry though and quite tough.  I imagine a rodent like a rat is probably a bit similar.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, I guess that&#8217;s the sort of thing Dad and I would have discussed &#8212; why not skin the rodent out properly?  What&#8217;s with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I suppose I should end with a story about Dad, he would like the cemetery and be kinda impressed I pulled that all off I suppose.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess I have yet another ghost to talk to.  He probably checked out at the right time as things are about to get &#8230; rough here.  Really rough, that&#8217;s what my gut tells me.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay signing off.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, on Friday Dad was buried in the local cemetery.
