A 17-year-old kid was shot dead Saturday night about 4 blocks SW of me. From all reports, he was a good kid. This afternoon U.S. Marshals arrested a guy, 18, in Morganfield,KY. He's awaiting extradiction on murder charges. Saturday night they detained two guys, 20 and 17. Make it make sense.

Proof of prices being crazy high. I like to keep a couple frozen Aldi breakfast bowls for when I feel lazy. Over the past 35 days the cost has risen from $1.69 to $1.85 and today they are $1.99. I can afford this but I won't buy on principle. I suspect the packaging is costly.

Second night in a row I couldn't fall asleep. Finally drifted off around 2:30, awoke at 5:59 and went back to sleep until 8:59. I feel a little draggy, but much better than yesterday on no sleep.

I was sitting here last night DMing a friend when I heard multiple gun shots coming from the west or southwest. Didn't hear any sirens, but when the cops arrived in the 800 block of Madison they found 17-year-old kid dead on the sidewalk. 6 blocks west of me. This shit is just crazy.

I got the old dog house scrubbed out. It's drying in the sun. When it's dry, I'll stuff it w/ straw from the bale in the back of my Outback. It'll be in the yard for the tabby cat to use if it wants. Some of the straw will help grass grow in the front yard bare patches.

I voted at Central library. Unfortunately I just missed city council reps Rita Taylor (my rep) & at large Mary Allen. I voted for Allen who is running for congress. I've spoken w/her a couple times & she is the real deal. She has put in the hard work; visited every nook & crany of the 8th district.

I wore my "I'm with the banned" tee shirt today. The librarians at East Branch loved it. I stopped in Central branch as well and it has a display of banned books folks can check out. Love it!

So the day starts with a kid barricaded in a restroom at Signature School who says he has a gun & will start shooting soon. Signature School is a charter school & annually is voted one of the top two charter schools in the country. It's a block, maybe, from the PD & the mayor's office.

I haven't seen the little tabby cat for a couple weeks. I looked out & saw it sitting on my deck. I gave it a half a can of soft food and when it finished that off I gave it some kibble. It's still extremely skittish.

I finally got all the weeds/grass growing out the sidewalk cracks whacked. Recharging the battery to take care of some stuff in the backyard tomorrow. Having some PowerAde then I'm going to cut down some volunteers & blow all the debris up on the lawn.

Cat toy follow up. If your cat loves ping pong balls, Dollar Tree sells Halloween ones with eyeballs on them. (Red, blue or green eyeballs; I have the red.) You get a plastic bag full for $1.25-$1.50.

I'm seeing a lot of posts from people on here & on X who could not sleep last night. Thats seems a little weird. I feel like I'm in a zombi-like state so I'm having a bowl of Kroger pot roast soup to ground myself. Instantly feel better. I love this stuff!

Michelle @offthehardroad.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

The cat toy box looked a little sparse so I walked around the house and gathered up all the bouncy balls, ping pong balls and mousies. That might have been a big mistake because Benson discovered all the toys were back and commenced to batting balls aroud the house. At 11 p.m.

I slept in until 8:30. It's cloudy & cool (63 as compared to 78 yesterday morning.) I put my flannel shirt on over my sleeveless tee shirt. I don't drink coffee every day; I'm having English breakfast tea this morning to wash down the meds.

Due to extreme heat, I have not walked my normal amount since June. When walking on a regular basis, I can walk 3 miles with no problem. At 71. This morning I was able to walk a mile (it was 78 degrees at 8 a.m.) in the Tri-State Orthopaedic Joint Replacement Walk. Walking resumes later this week.

The woman I walked with in the Joint Replacement Walk this morning is amazing. She's 85, a retired RN. She walked a half-mile two days post-op from heart valve replacement. What an inspiration!

Saw something weird this afternoon. I was getting in my car at the west side Walmart when I noticed three hawks soaring around in the air. They were flying around over the wooded area adjacent to S Red Bank Rd & then they would swoop out over the parking lot. I assume they were eating bugs.

Briscoe has been scooting his butt across the floor so I had the vet tech check the anal glands. SUCH SCREAMING YOU'VE NEVER HEARD IN YOUR LIFE! OMG! Got the left one cleaned out. If he continues to scoot, he'll have to return, get something to chill him out & get the right one done.

I'm going to spend some time looking at the city's proposed 2027 budget today. (Mayor puts it online.) If the global price of oil keeps tracking upward, a lot of cities going to have budget trouble when it comes to fueling police, fire, ambo & street paving.

Briscoe goes to the vet at 2:30 for his monthly shot. He and his sister launched zoomies at 1 a.m. and I'm still pretty irked with them about that.
