Monday's Missives


  • Before they started making this I always thought it would be way cool to make an AR15 style 12 gauge.
  • When I'm king of the world I will still commission an M2 style machine gun that everything will be dimensionally doubled. Yes, we will have a 100 caliber cannon to blast stuff with at 500 rounds per minute. People will pay to stand in it's shadow- much less shoot the monster. Long after I'm gone gun writers will write about it and awe will be generated as it gets traded around by rich guys and rediscovered through the years.
    Not to make too big of a deal as I could be wrong (and it is only an opinion anyway) but if I'm going out to eat I'm tempted to say I don't want my food to be home style as in if I wanted home style- well, I would stay at home. 

  • It is 01/312015 at 0704. My son is asleep on the floor and daughter on the couch. The house is dark and quiet.
  • Nearly heaven.
    Sunshine Lake
  • Somebody I know only gets in touch with me to relate various aches, pains and new diagnosis. What a whippin'.
    FGs granddad was a railroad worker

    Coolest nickname ever? Gah- lucky. I wish I was called WISH BONE.
  • My eldest son is on his way back to Nigeria in search of black gold.
    Thankfully PUPPY is microchiped. 

    The dog park has real fire hydrants for dogs to pee on. No wonder the terrorists hate us.


  • In the break room yesterday people were commenting on how wonderful my Chinese food smelled. When another person entered the fray they asked somebody who is not me if it was their food. The party who was asked cheerily said as she happened to be stepping out of the room, No, mine smells like fish! Me and another vile reprobate looked at each other and burst out laughing. I handed him my chop stick and said, Holy smokes. I can't unhear that. Quick stab me in the ear with this!

    What a gorgeous scene this rocky ridge line would be without the stupid trees obscuring the view but good luck on getting them cut down. We worship trees- odd. They should selectively cut most of them down and dig all the roots out so they don't create erosion pathways. Then tack everything down with some water after scattering some native seed and fertilizer and call the feature, Rocky Ridge. People would come from far and wide to see it. It would be literally awe inspiring. I have everything all figured out don't I? 
  • The wind chimes are singing sweetly outside.
    Mini Me: See the picture I drew? Me: Uh, oh yeah that is, um- nice. So, uh what all is going on here? What am I seeing? Is there a story? I said as I fished for an answer about the bewbs. Mini Me: Its just a picture. He said as if he were trying to gently, simply and patiently deal with a closed head injury patient who just didn't get it. Me: OK, what are these? I said giving up and pointing to the headlights Mini Me: They're nipples dad. He is a Sumo Wrestler
  • One of these days this will all end.

Monday's Missives

Barney Oldfield 1917 in the Golden Sub car.

  • Let's talk about going to the moon, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto- wherever when we can watch The President give an address in the Rose Garden without police and ambulance sirens screaming in the background.
  • Every single time.
  • Although crime rates there are at a 20 year low, violent crimes occur at three times the national average in our nations capitol.
  • Instead, city and state governments across the country and world in fact should be clambering for information on how to make a city so safe and attractive to visitors.
  • Instead, ask a resident of the area or someone familiar with travel there about sight seeing and the first thing they will say is,"Well, don't go anywhere after dark...".
  • Last seasons hailstorms continue to claim victims: my ornamental plum is about to succumb to it's wounds after all this time and effort to save it.
  • My baby son was recently taught how to operate a very realistic semi auto style toy pistol. I Could not be more disappointed or fearful.
  • My family was so lucky for so many years- tragedies and heartbreaks yes but, few and far between I think. My childrens great grandmother has died now after a fall which was contributory to her death and I'm afraid the hits are going to just keep coming for awhile.
