Welcome to a view of my life. This is my musings, rants, thoughts and opinions (everyone is entitled to my opinion). As well as the more interesting news and happenings. Not too many dull moments, unfortunately. Enjoy your visit and be sure to Come back real soon.

Are these folks from Earth?
It is happening more and more. A store gets robbed. The clerk complies with the robbers’s demands. Despite that and despite being masked, the criminal scum bag shoots or stabs the clerk anyway. Then there is the violent home invasion, where the homeowners are robbed THEN killed. Not so much in Florida, it’s easier for the citizens to arm themselves here, but still goes on a lot in other states.

Burnt out.
I had house guests this week. Don & Janice. It was a blur of cooking, conversation and shopping trips. I coupled that with feeding & caring for my neighbor's cat while he is away. We also stopped at Gwen’s house to pick up her computer to fix it.
Busy
& cool
Ah yes, company for the holidays. It’s one of the treats of living in Florida. This Thanksgiving Don and his lady friend, Janice are down from NY for a visit. Hence my not blogging as much as usual.
Uh huh.
Normally I would say it’s a good time to bottom feed, but this time, I don’t know,
Can't...
I was trying to be on the road at 8:45, HA! Did you every see a cartoon where the characters have to be someplace and the most insane things happen to them to keep them from reaching their goal? Well, that was my morning.
First the tuxedo cat shows up wanting some breakfast. I stand over her as long as I can, but have to go inside to continue to get ready. Check on her a minute later, she is no where to be seen. There over the now empty bowel is a Muscovy drake, who had just pooped in front of my door. They always poop where a human has to walk.
Chase him away and pour bleach on the present he left me (people wonder why I hate those ducks). Load the car and put the Anti-Christ (my desktop) into the van, doing hop scotch around the duck poop.
Then the Calico cat shows up. I don’t see her too often, so I put out a bowel of food and stand over her. She is more tame than tuxedo and often stops eating to rub me for a pet.
Ok, I am still not ready. When it looks like she is just about finished, in the house I go. I would have run her to the spay clinic, but I will be having company next week and don’t have the time to deal with the recovery of a newly spayed female cat. Well, it’s winter and she should stay un-pregnant for a month or 2. Plenty of time to catch her again.
Then, from inside the house, I hear the all to familiar yowl of a cat in gladiator mode. Tuxedo showed up and decided that Calico, who is hiding under my van, has no business being here. I get in-between them and in cat tell them that behavior is not to be tolerated (no wonder the neighbors think I’m nuts).
Tuxedo walks behind the house. Calico slinks away with a low posture and puffy tail. Gad I hope she comes back. I don’t want her littering the neighborhood.
I drop off the Anti-Christ and tell them I can’t wait for it and just to call me when it’s ready.
FINALLY before anything else can happen, I am on my way to the chiropractor for a badly needed adjustment. My back was so far out of wack this morning, I felt like a pretzel, and the pain! You know it’s bad when your systolic nerve pain wraps down around BOTH legs.
Even he was surprised to see how bad I was. I think this week will be a 3 adjustment week. To top it all off this is my third attempt to post this blog. Firefox on my laptop kept crashing, so I had to resort to

Hot!
Banks are not disclosing what they are doing with their bailout windfalls. Surprise, surprise. I can tell you what they are doing. They are cushing their stock holders and bottom feeding on smaller banks. The CEO’s will want their bonuses at the end of the year.
Get your brains out of your butts you dopey politicians!
Annoyed
Bail out the corporations on wall street with NO accountability as to where the money has gone. Dose anyone else see this as a really dumb idea?

A nice night
It seems to happen every 4 weeks. This time I thought it was an error with second life. I re-installed the client but the errors kept getting worse and on other applications. The today it would not boot. Acted like a boot sector error. A good thing I got the files off onto the external. I am getting in the habit of doing that once a month, but I really should do that daily with every file. Oddly enough the ethernet dose not work on the laptop. No matter. I have a LAN hub set up
I-Pods! ACK!
It’s almost as if they all hate me.
Feh.
Amendment 2 was put into the FL constitution. It defined a marriage as between 1 man and 1 woman. Of course I voted no, but unfortunately, enough people thought it was their business to vote yes. Those in favor touted their commercials with the marriage amendment protecting the next generation. Even if legality made a difference in sexual orientation (which is dose not) there are 6 billion people on the planet. How the hell is domestic partners threatening the next generation?
