This was a breakthrough weekend for me. No yard work or housework, just adventure. I took the boat out Saturday (no, not a hot date at the Taco King, dammit!) and drowned some worms in one of the many beautiful lakes around here. The brothers in-law (my brother in-law and his brother, so that makes […]
I admit it: I am not a big fan of racing movies (or really stupid teen movies), so it is not going to be much of a stretch, but I think I’ll avoid this film. Related Images:
So . . . my multitasking (or, as these folks phrase it, “childlike flexibility”) may just be a sign of the times. All grown up and immature — I’m not alone! Does this mean I can still pee in the pool? In local news, Ironman Coeur d’Alene kicked off today, but I missed it due […]
Well crap, the day just got a bit darker and colder. Sure, it’s 70+ (Fahrenheit, not any of that pansy euro-centric celsius crap (yes, I’m pandering to my base readers here, all you Freedom-fry munching, gun-toting mouth breathers)) and not a cloud in the sky, supposed to hit the 90’s this afternoon, but still, cold […]
Another sign that I am getting older: I don’t like LOUD! My mother bought my son a cap-gun while we were visiting, and now I have to listen to the constant banging as he pulls the trigger over and over. We’ve at least established that it is not to be used indoors. Now we just […]
I’m two days into my vacation and I am running out of exciting things to do. Day one was spent going to the dump and tossing out bags of maggot-infested diapers (a big shout of thanks goes to the MHUDS, D&M, for not taking care of their kid’s crap-sacks themselves. Thanks guys, really. I live […]
Even sadder — I appear to be banned from posting comments on Fanatical Apathy. My last two comments were blocked. Sigh. I’ve no idea why, although I’m betting it’s because I’m too white. Related Images:
1. Officially opened my pool. Just in time for a rainy weekend. 2. Rethought my position on the Iraq war. Still against it. 3. Watched one of the abandoned birds we’ve been raising die in my hand after being attacked by a cat. Not happy about it. Don’t think the bird was either. 4. Failed […]
Memorial Day weekend is over, so we can all go back to ignoring the dead for another year. Unless, of course, you are the president, in which case you need to continue calling on all Americans to continue honoring the dead by providing more of them in our fight for freedom and democracy. I am […]
And here’s a quick update to Tuesday’s elections/primaries/statewide flake-off: 25% of registered voters bothered to vote. That means my vote was four times as powerful as it would be in an ideal election. I’d be interested to know how many people here are eligible to vote, but haven’t bothered to vote; factoring in the lazy […]
