These flowers don't last very long, gone before summer even officially starts. They likely only survived last week's ninety degree day because of the culminating thunderstorm. With no real rain this week, the wilting finally came.
More Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock from back in the day. This was a popular song during aerobic classes in college. Yes, I took aerobics. A dorm mate liked a girl that went and wanted backup, and I needed the exercise.
Texas has a habit of trying to help destroy the rest of the country. Some Texans realize their hand in this every once in a while, but it's often too late.

New contributor Caspar N. Cruz is paired up today with returning contributor Jury S. Judge. Welcome to Wednesday at Oddball Magazine. Join us for the afternoon.
Saw a loved one at a hospital where they're undergoing physical therapy. Overall, the place is good, but when someone's too slow (in my mind) to help a loved one to the bathroom, I think of this underrated Swamp Thing story from ,Stephen R. Bissette. A reminder that horror has many hats. From Swamp Thing #59 by Bissette with art by Rick Veitch and Alfredo Acala.

Thanks for reading Oddball Magazine so far this week.
Lynn White with another topical poem to make up for the holiday. Welcome to Tuesday at Oddball Magazine.
It's amazing what people will name their online networks. I'm always trying to hijack Wi-Fi when I'm commuting, so I often come across a number of interesting names. Every Tuesday, I post the most impressive and/or cringe-inducing names.

Ron's granddaughter Shayla often made appearances at Ron's salons and other celebrations. I caught her dancing for Ron and friends during a return feature by Prabakar Rajan back in 2010.
One time she teamed up with Molly at the anniversary party for Ron and Sue at Doyle's. Shayla teamed up with Molly to make a concoction of everyone's discarded drinks along with paper straw covers and pieces of a bar napkin (these were artisans at work). Shayla pushed the glass over to me and simply said "Drink it! with a wicked smile.

That was about fifteen years ago. I saw her again during Ron's funeral all, ready to enter college. Now I just want her and Molly to get together and drive around the country solving mysteries.
Rob Base passed away. DJ EZ Rock passed away twelve years ago. This week's selection of music will honor the recently deceased, starting with Base and Rock's pinnacle hit.
Waiting to order breakfast, someone complimented the woman in front of me on her shirt, and I read it.
