Beagles
Sunday, January 31st, 2010Are apparently the new pit bull of NYC’s east end. I’ve seen a Beagle considerably more vicious than any dog I’ve ever seen. But she was probably just covering her embarrassment of having been bred to a Pug….

Just a little snow…
Monday, January 25th, 2010So the weatherman this morning says maybe a little accumulation of snow. After lunch the weatherman is saying we might get and inch by Tuesday morning. After two hours on the road (the plow drivers must be listening to the same forecast) getting home in the snow I’m pulling into my driveway. There’s easily 2 [...]
PMS Therapy
Sunday, January 24th, 2010Saturday may not have been a terribly pretty day but it had one thing going for it, 50 degrees. As I have a laundry list of maintenance items to do before ridign season it seemed a good day to work on the head bearing. If the adjustment works I’m not taking the entire front end [...]
Brown’s Victory
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010I’m sure you all saw this coming. At least the President got it over with quickly…. By that time, we did. And here’s my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country. The same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office. People are angry, and [...]
Want a better Interested Rate?
Monday, January 18th, 2010So I’m sitting at my desk this afternoon moving data around on a SAN when I get this robo-call asking if I’d like to lower my interest rate on my credit card. “If you’d like to lower your interest rate on your credit card account press 1 to talk to a representative”. Well who doesn’t [...]
U.S. Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret ‘Jesus’ Bible Codes
Monday, January 18th, 2010It seems Trijicon puts scripture references on their products which has some people claiming it proves we’re crusaders in the Middle East. And then there is that whole “separation” myth, too. I’d love to have a Trijicon site so marked and as is being issued for the M4 but my goodness they’re expensive – almost [...]
Hostettler’s 2008 Campaign
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010Just writing about Pelosi I recall that John Hostettler, 8th district Indiana – and now doing is part to take down Evan Bayh – essentially ran on a campaign of “a vote for Brad Ellsworth is a vote for Nancy Pelosi for speaker of the house”. The powers that be had been pretty successful in [...]
Pelosi’s a horrible woman
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010While we’re all celebrating Jack Cafferty’s Pelosi’s a horrible woman we mustn’t loose sight of the fact that Cafferty remains an unapologetic Obama fan boy. The Administration’s first year has been a horrible one by any political measure you choose to use. And if you’re paying attention to the White House’s “stands” on issues over [...]
Punctuating sarcasm?
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010I’m not at all sold on the need for a sarcasm punctuation mark and for a few very good reasons. First, not all sarcasm is created equal – for example there is the generic sarcasm and then there is my preferred . Would there be a variety of punctuations to identify the type of sarcasm? [...]
The Tonight Show
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010I don’t know why I’m bothering with such a mundane topic. But it was quite obvious Leno didn’t want to move but NBC had a deal with Conan so the forced it. Now their shinanigans are backfiring on them as they try to have retain their talent and ratings too. I have never felt Conan [...]
