Monday's Missives

Is this a gyrocopter? There are a couple of these, a few home built planes and a couple of paraplanes in my area. I even see them flying more/less the same route. I don't know if there is a club, a lone rich guy, a particularly nice/forgiving route or what but it intrigues me. This contaption makes me think of the term, wirlybird.

• Terrible twos? Wait until your unusually strong two year old who also happens to have an unusually accurate throwing arm shouts, NO! at you and bounces a sippy cup off your head from one end of the car to the other.
• When his big brother was asked when he was three what he wanted for dinner he would invariably say, Steak, broccoli cheese and beans please.

  

  Random razor blade in Sunshine Lake park being random looking like it was up to no good.

• Saw a Peanuts special advertised on Joost titled, Someday You'll Find Her, Charlie Brown.
• Keep enough hope alive for both of us buddy.
• When the baby woke up this morning he laid back down with me- didn't go back to sleep just talked to me, told me he was cold and pulled the covers up, showed me his head, identified his ears and hair, shook his cup when he emptied it, handed it to me to put on the nightstand, sighed real big and just rested there with me until we had to get up- heaven.
• My neighbors painted their front door I'm pretty sure 3 times in about as many months.
• My oldest son pronounced motorcycle  motor spiker,  my daughter,  mo cycle, my nephew motor kickle  and my baby son,  so so sickle.
• Wow- old draft. Baby?! Zac is 6 years old now.
  

  

  Do whatever you want homes but I'm sorry- some things are just kinda ridiculous.

Wednesdays Digressions

• Although I might not become a fan I watched Chicago Hope the hospital drama of the nineties for the first time in my life last night- it was very good.



• I think it's a bit odd maybe how people who have or will likely never have no personal stake in the capital punishment debate get really worked up insisting they are for it and I'm afraid I've never heard a well developed argument for the willy nilly use we see of it today.


• I'm against it except could be convinced of its necessity for the death of a police officer and treason.


• The death of the police officer in Bridgeport has brought out the best in people all over the state and country even.


• Don't get too excited when someone says something tacky in a comments section about his death or service- that's what they are looking for and I doubt many of them really mean what they say anyway.


• I worked 12 straight 12 hour days on a single case recently before she expired. "Tough old bird" as a member of her family said, She'll be the end of us all." I said to 2 family members committed to being by her side to the end.


• We lived on coffee, sweet tea, DR Pepper and fast food. She just slogged along without a bite to eat or hardly a drop to drink.


• Tough old bird.


• A fair gauge as a nurse of your patient care is how well the families want to take care care of you.


• I always misspell gauge.


• Another thought on the officer who was murdered in BP: in the past I knew both a guy named Steve York and Randy White so it really was a heart stopper when I first read the news. One is dead though and the other would be way too old to have been SGT. White.
