hee haw had it right all those years ago

Jun 23, 2025

Gloom, despair, and agony on me. Deep, dark depression, excessive misery. If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all… That song was played on Hee Haw for 20 some years on TV — so if you’re old like me, the tune is now trolling your brain.

It sure seems like there’s a ton of chaos going on in the world right now. And, there’s plenty of places to read all about it other than here. Let me just say that while my life is far from perfect, there’s nothing that’s totally awful going on either… unless you count that Hugo is in love with fuzzy covers. Especially the nice ones from Macy’s…

The Pacers lost and I’m staying out of the sun. ☀️

The Pacers lost their game last night and my favorite brother will probably be in mourning for the next 30 days at least.

Because the spots that were frozen on my face aren’t supposed to be in the sun until they’ve healed (easy to cover up the ones on my shoulder), I’ve refrained from being outside for the past week. It’s making me CRAZY! It’s especially bad because the pool is finally warm enough to swim in — and Perry took care of the yard last week (something I like doing).

But it could be a whole lot worse! My A/C is hanging in there keeping us cool, and I have fast Internet…

There are always things to be thankful for!


Now you know: The TV show Hee Haw aired from 1969 to 1997. It debuted on CBS in 1969 and continued in syndication for over 20 years. A total of 656 episodes were produced.
