Just when I thought I was getting myself caught up, crap literally fell from the sky and landed on my head. Last Wednesday a charming middle-aged woman knocked on my trailer’s door and asked if I was Jerry Schellhammer, and I said yes. She then handed me court filing from my separated wife suing for divorce.

Data Centers? Who Needs Them!
For the longest time, I supported data centers because I believed they would help drive future growth with AI. They sounded like a big win for our economy and for maintaining a global lead against China and other countries.
Don’t Feel any Older
But here I am on my sixty-eighth birthday looking at myself in the mirror and wonder who this old man is staring back at me. I feel the same as I did when I turned nineteen, and every year since, but this body has changed and not so much for the better.
Dolly
I’m sure you all have read, heard, or saw on TV that Dolly Parton passed away yesterday. I for one will miss her as a great, talented musician, song writer, and actress, but also for her philanthropy giving away to whatever cause would help those in need the most.

Hot Rod Lincoln
The heat above the track didn’t just rise—it shimmered. It was a midsummer night, long past midnight, and only the headlights of two powerful cars cut through the darkness as their V-8 engines rumbled. Beyond them stretched pitch-black emptiness and a sky crowded with stars.
Strange People
It’s me, Tommy, you know Master Jerry’s cat. Elsa and I had this strange visit the other day by these strange people that just came in out of the blue. At least I wasn’t aware they were coming. It does explain Master Jerry’s strange behavior before they arrived.
