Comedian George Carlin dead at 71
AFP: Comedian George Carlin dead at 71
Most people read that headline as it lays. For some reason I read it as Comedian George Carlin DEAD AT 71! Just six short years from that age myself, makes the age leap off the screen. When your age-peers start dropping off it is a bit of a reality shock. I found Carlin amusing, original, brilliant, sometimes. He certainly focused attention on words and how sloppy we are with them and how emotionally charged they can be. I will miss him poking holes in the big and little hypocrisies of life in the U.S. of A. You can click on the AFP link for the story if you haven't read it already.
Otherwise , today (Monday ) was very similar to yesterday. My screen door look like a dryer's lint filter so filled with cottonwood spore it is. Looks like snow upon the ground. Very pretty but sneeze-making.
