 “We eagerly, uh, got in our new used truck. We closed the doors -- sniff, sniff. Ugh -- There was a cloying smell like calcified toe jam and melted plastic. My 12-year-old son, Conor, groaned: ‘I can’t breathe dad. I can’t breathe’ -- I grabbed, ah, the offending deodorizer, which was hidin in plain sight hangin from the rearview mirror, and, um, I ripped it down -- ‘No dad it stinks in here!’ Conor yelled. 'We need that artichoke-lookin deodorizer thing to breathe!' I calmly rebutted: No we don’t, and instructed the lad in a wise and fatherly way: Roll down the freakin window son we live in Maine.”

Kevin O'Kendley is the owner of Carbuncle Moon, and the author of all original material -- cartoons, blogs, shorts, essays, articles -- on the website. All quoted sources are noted. I am responsible for all posts. The only blogs not time-dated are those advertising nonprofits. All nonprofits were vetted, investigated, though the summer of 2018. The vetting lapsed in some cases afterwards or until the last blog on May, 31, 2021.
Kevin O'Kendley: [email protected]. Technical help was provided by a computer genius, my son, Conor O'Kendley. Photography was provided by a visual artist, my daughter, Caitlin O'Kendley. If your nonprofit is advertised on this site and you wish to have it removed please contact me at the above listed email address or use the contact form on the website. If you download a blog, cartoon, a short story -- or for any other reason -- and wish to donate $ to this site, its author and technical support personnel, please send donations payable to Kevin O'Kendley, 499 Broadway #138, Bangor, Maine 04401. My family and I could use the dinero. All cartoons, blogs, and short stories are for sale. Categories |
