Good morning! Have you had your coffee yet? Perhaps you prefer tea? Either is good.

Drink up and read on!

These Days

Before I started writing this morning I cleaned 302 spam comments out of my comment queue. Most of them were attempts to get injected onto the Morgo the Mighty page. I glance at every comment before I mark it for deletion. I’m willing to consider the possibility that a comment is actually attempt to communicate rather than just another toxic bot infestation. No luck today.

At the day job I got to drive my truck, that is, the truck assigned to my route all week. After weeks of needing to borrow trucks from other routes and having to hunt for the keys for said trucks because the carriers don’t put the keys in the slots by the timeclock where they belong, it was relaxing to be able to just grab my key and start up a familiar truck. I’m also a little surprised to find out that I’m kind of a neat freak compared to many of my fellow carriers. I don’t leave personal items, rubber bands, trash or much of anything in the truck at the end of the day. While I do consider the vehicle to be “my truck” I want it to be clean and ready if someone else needs to use it.

There’s a layer of grime on the dashboard that came with truck when I took over the route six years ago. I made a cursory attempt to clean it then. I only made a slight dent. I’m now considering applying soap and water to it next week. There’s nothing like having to deal with other folks’ messes to inspire me to make my environment even neater.

At home, I’m sorting books. I work at it until I reach the nine box limit that Half Price Books will accept. I shift books around on the shelves for later consideration. The books I’m currently thinking I’ll be keeping for the long term I move to the set of free standing bookshelves that I expect will accompany us to wherever we go whenever we go. There are stacks of magazines and comics on the top of the built in bookshelves. I’ve begun moving those down to lower shelves.

I have one copy of Misspent Youths #1. I have many copies of issues 2-5. What do I do with them? Many copies of Last Dangerous Christmas. A couple of copies of GLYPH #1. Multiple copies of later issues of both the magazine and the tabloid version. What do I do with them?

Once I’ve gotten the books managed I’ve got comics to sort. Half Price Books sells back issues of comics but I doubt if it’s the best place to take them. HPB has a computerized inventory of their books and they have a computerized set up for making offers on books brought for sale. Comics? Nope. I’ve checked their website. They do offer back issues but finding what they have available is tricky. I know someone who works for the company and he tells me that, while they do buy comics, it’s best to bring them in when there’s a buyer available who knows comics.

Mugshots

Today’s process GIF is of a cat who knows where it’s at. All the its.

This critter can be found on mugs in my Zazzle store and all sorts of other schtuff in my Redbubble store.

The happy fellow above is the latest addition to my collection of greeting card designs in my Zazzle store.

That’s it for this week. Thank you so much reading. I hope you didn’t spill that drink on anything important.

See you next time!
