Mondays Missives

• I have been offered money to help set up a blog and small website for a business.
• No, they have been in business for quite awhile and are very successful.
• No, actually they seem quite intelligent.
• I hardly ever use the fireplace but, a house without one would be a deal breaker, not only are fires nice to have just for grins but, well they can keep you warm when the power goes out.
• The favorite memory of my life: My teenage son lying on the floor reading, my six year old playing with a toy nearby and me half dozing in my awesome leather recliner holding the baby with a fire roaring in the fireplace. A person who has learned whats important in life hundreds of years ago or hundreds of years in the future would understand that moment in time I think.
• My next house will not have a square inch of carpet. A few rugs for comfort and to cut down on noise and that will be it. I've spent at least 8000.00 dollars on carpet not including maintenance in my life and the air quality issues involved.
• Even in town in generations past they believed in having cellars (there were at least 4 within blocks of my house growing up) I wonder, were they more for food storage? If they were for storm safety foremost- how did we get away from them? With building densities it would seem more important to have them today than ever before.
• If I could travel back in time I would waste a trip observing Cro Magnon Man, Nenaderthal man et al early mans lives.
• Napolean Dynamite- pure comedic genius.
• If ever there really were a conspiracy theory I would have to wonder how many were actually spun by the government or other agencies with something to hide to have groups chasing their own tales and looking too crazy to be taken seriously by the public.
• Unless something has dramatically changed the JFK assassination is the most written about subject in the world next to the Bible with something like 3000 titles and I don't recall how many books printed.
• Gajillions I'm sure.
• The new neighbors haven't gotten in the spirit of the neighborhood and won't wave back when we pass.
• That's OK, I have a secret way to get to the bottom of that and at least talk to them for a minute.
• Their voters registration card came to my mailbox.
