Alternate Timelines Are Cruel
If I ever live on a tropical island in a beautiful house on the beach, it will probably be in one of those alternate timeline things that will eventually get destroyed to stop some major tragedy from happening or to correct history.
Either of which would restore the original non-beach house timeline.
But it will be nice while it lasts.
Although I won’t remember it in this timeline.
So, technically, there is a possibility that it has already happened.
I hope I enjoyed it.
Song Parody
Scramblin’ Man
A song parody of Ramblin’ Man by The Allman Brothers
Play the song video at the bottom of this story and sing along!
Lord, I was born a scramblin’ man
Cookin’ up some eggs right here in my fryin’ pan
And when it’s time for poachin’
I hope you’ll understand
That I was born a scramblin’ man
My father was a grill cook down in Georgia
Cookin’ eggs for pert near everyone
When I was born with a spatula, in my right hand
They knew I was my Daddy’s son
Lord, I was born a scramblin’ man
Cookin’ up some eggs right here in my fryin’ pan
And when it’s time for poachin’
I hope you’ll understand
That I was born a scramblin’ man
(Guitar solo)
I’m on my way to Bob Evans this morning
They say they got a good job there for me
We’re always having a good time down in the kitchen, oh yeah
Them waitresses, they think the world of me
Lord, I was born a scramblin’ man
Cookin’ up some eggs right here in my fryin’ pan
And when it’s time for poachin’
I hope you’ll understand
That I was born a scramblin’ man
Lord, I was born a scramblin’ man (Guitar riff)
Lord, I was born a scramblin’ man (Guitar riff)
Lord, I was born a scramblin’ man (Guitar riff)
Lord, I was born a scramblin’ man (Guitar riff)
(Guitar solos)
Three-Line Conversations

One photo. Three Three-Line Conversations
Sometimes, a photo will give me more than one conversation idea. I came up with three conversations for this photo and couldn’t decide which one to use. So I included all three.
“I could have sworn the parking lot was this way.”
“So you didn’t bring a trail map, or a water bottle, or even your phone. What exactly did you pack in that tiny backpack?”
“Peanut butter crackers.”
“Don’t turn around, but I think one of those giant desert bears is following us.”
“No problem. Open the backpack and get the Starburst fruit chews out. They can’t resist them.”
“Umm. I ate the last one five minutes ago.”
“Well, it’s not as nice as Versteron 4, but Earth will have to do. Let’s set up camp. Grab the alien-planet colonization unit out of my backpack.”
“It’s dead. Did you charge it before we left?”
“I thought you were doing that.”
Which one was your favorite?
Happy Monday. Thanks for reading and responding. You make it fun.

Favorite = #2 pb crackers 😮 My own mouth now feels dry.
I’m going to be singing “Scramblin’ Man” all day now, ha! Too funny. I enjoyed all three conversations, but the first one was my favorite. The peanut butter crackers line gave me a good laugh! 🤣
