Hillary And Yoko

Did Hillary Clinton enjoy a sapphic trist with acclaimed musical art genius Yoko Ono? According to the World News Daily Report the answer is an emphatic yes.

Speaking at a press conference in Los Angeles, Yoko allegedly told stunned reporters she'd had a "fling" with the ambitious presidential hopeful in the 1970s.

“We met many times during the New York Vietnam War protests in the 1970s and became very intimate,” said the musically talented celebrity, who went on to say, "We had a brief romantic fling when I lived with John in Manhattan and Hillary was studying at Yale, but eventually we lost touch."

Despite the evidence, Hillary denies she's a lesbian. Speaking on the Howard Stern show, the failed presidential wannabe insisted she didn't find women sexually attractive.

“Raise your right hand, if you’ve never had a lesbian affair,” asked the onetime shock jock.

“Never, never, never! Never even been tempted, thank you very much.”

“Unbelievable,” Stern replied.

Well said, Mr. Stern. But more than this, here at the Compound we're tying to figure out how to say My Woman From Tokyo without saying Yoko. It's not easy. Thanks, LL, and if you're inclined to listen to the literal musical genius of Yoko, click this link.

Get it Together

OK, so you've got these neat metal chairs which belonged to your Great Great Grandmother, and there they sit, restored and gleaming on the newly painted porch. Great result, no doubt about it, but something was missing. A swing.

The swing arrived last week and sat in its box while our old enemy, The Weather, attacked us with an endless barrage of rain. Then it cleared, the climate changed and out came the swing, ready for painting.

Blue Painter

It lay there looking pristine and wooden at the front of the Compound, ready for a light sanding and paint. I opted for cheap white enamel primer & paint spray for the first couple of coats and then Rustoleum's "professional grade" white enamel. That was cheap too, thanks, Walmart.

Typical Texan Street Art

Rustoleum's hi-grade spray paint is apparently tough enough for "industrial applications," so I figured it'd probably do the trick. Time, all three of you who read this engaging mind blog, will tell. And I have to say, spray painting wood takes a while; maybe I should have brushed on the primer. Still, perhaps spray makes for a better finish.

Painted, at Last...

Then it was done. A painted porch swing sitting on its cardboard box in front of the house in the Texan sun, waiting for the paint to do its thing and dry in the marketeers' promised 15 minutes, which it pretty much did.

Well I'll be, There's a Swing on The Porch

Now it's on the porch, suspended by two 10' chains and I thank our ancestors for being wise to high ceilings, it makes a difference.

Rifle to Pot

To celebrate this victory, I broke out a pack of venison sausages from their refrigerated prison, made some batter and put it all together in a heavy metal pot. It'll be toad in the hole in a bit, and goes with onion gravy, delicious.

Porch life,
