“The Walking List” is my goto for exercise and motivation. Since I have trouble walking and use a cane now, I still try to do what I can to keep moving! So to help me get off my butt and get that movement, I throw on this list and make the trek up to the mailbox, at the park I live at. It's about a 40 minute to and from. I keep the list short, about 25 songs, no more than 2 hours! I change it up after a couple of walks. If you’d like to keep up, and enjoy some good post-punk, dance and rock tunes, then get off yer keister and go for a walk with me and enjoy this list. I made it just for you...

I miss friends, today was surreal and upsetting, but I'm so glad I got to talk to Richard.

...and now I just want to go home. I think I've finally written my last pages here in Kansas City. Alison will finish school soon and I don't think she plans to stay here. She wants to go where neurobiological research is popping and be in the center of it, and I don't want to be in the way of that...

This disability crap has my head spinning. I have an evaluation on the 17th, and I'm going to start making plans the moment I finish and hear about that.

I'd love to be... anywhere but here. I'm alone, car doesn't work, and when I reach out, I get flac, or nothing at all. It's taking a toll on my anxiety, and I'm not responsible for how everyone else feels about me, it's their problem. I'm going to take some time, find a place that's going to make me and my interests happy, and figure out how to go. I may have to get a job and save for a bit, and that what the kids are encouraging...

Where? How? When? That's all being put on the table.

Saying I haven't been to a love gig since the 90's has really put a strange weight on my mind, because that was all I used to do, before I got here. And I think not going is what made the anxiety take over, so it could be as simple as finding the scenes I want to be close to, and working on that.

The main reason for the plan though, is my health. Stirring in the back of my mind is still the fact that, while I was in California, my asthma was gone, the air here has everything to do with it. Having trouble walking, I can deal with. I knew my entire life it was going to be difficult, but not being able to breathe, when there's a simple fix for it... I have to consider it, and do something about that.

Another reason to get the hell out of here...

Anyway, that's what on my plate, today. I did finish some cool experiments on my web site today. I even learned how to make a random generator at the top that says something different every time you refresh, check it out!

I'm at the point where I am writing down ideas, listening to a lot of music and setting aside new things I really like, and I'm making a lot of notes...

Each weekday will be themed, and the lists will be 25 to 35 songs, max (2 hours-ish). I'm working out what the themes are...

So I'm doing a lot of writing about the music I am going to play, playlists and mixtapes by others that I find, and even writing about recording mixes. I have a few places I am going to post each day:

Tumblr - WordPress - Bluesky - Mastodon - Medium - Substack - X - Instagram - TikTok - Facebook, possibly Reddit

It sounds like a lot, but I have an app that's going to post them all at once. If it doesn't work, cut 'n paste won't kill me, it's all part of dedicating to the work. And I'm probably going to work on two or three at a time, so it's really only a couple of days a week I'm working on that part of it. The rest is just listening and taking a note down, no matter where I am...

I'm going to make a silly YouTube video that will go along with the posts, a quick intro of what's up for the week and what to look for, maybe some interesting factoids, we'll see how comfortable I get with it...

Part of my web-adventure is going to be my going for walks daily and listening to music. Ill take notes and record video and use it for something weekly. My sites going to be about playlists and mixtapes. Something I used to love making when I was younger.

I'll be talking about music and mixes, vibes... Mine, yours, others I find. I'll dig in to what we do with music, where some of it comes from, and how we all use it. It's going to be fun...

This is the player I'm looking at. It has everything I need, sounds good, and looks amazing. The price is good! It's perfect!

Aptly nicknamed "basket bug", the bagworm has a bad reputation for ruining the trees and shrubs it feeds on, and is considered a nuisance! In fact, many of the links I found were about how to get rid of them! But they have a really cool look..! I've been interested in this bug for a long time. I found one years ago and thought it was wild. This insect lives by its own rules and walks a unique path. They build a little cone of twigs on their backs, and they move around and live in them. WHAT? This is crazy..! It's very own tiny home... It's like a hermit crab in the trees! They do have them here in Missouri, where I live. I don't know about my specific area. I plan keep an eye out for this creature and see if it might be around the forest I live next to...

I'm writing this because I'm feeling inspired to go out and look for odd animals, bugs and plants. I want to get out more than I have lately, and this could be like actually hunting for Pokemon. I'm starting a separate page of my catches! I will report it here when I find something..! Have any of you come across a basket bug? Share below and show some photos if you can!
