Poor neglected blog

All un-changed for a week.

Quick upate:

What's HOT: Work is pretty good... The house is coming along very slowly, but a sick day will help. The cats weird chin skin infection is gone. I have antique bricks (fulfilling an old dream)

What's NOT: My budget for Feb did not compensate for the fact that I am again paying CPP and EI, so I'm a little lower on funds than I thought. That stressed me out more than I thought it would.

And that's that!

Change we want to believe in

I don't care that he's black. I really don't It's not important. It's neat, it's good, it's fun... but being black will neither make nor break him as a President.

HE'S SMART.

REALLY REALLY SMART.

and THAT is the Change I Can Believe In

Why be a dachshund?

This is why:



That is all.

Food!

1 potato, nuked for 8 minutes
3 sausages cut into rounds, seasoned with lots of pepper
Frozen mixed veggies, steamed while

.... You broil the sausage rounds.

Put the potato in a bowl, cut it open, mosh it with a fork. Put the
sausages on it. Put the veggies on the sausages.

Eat.

Why I love the bus

There's much odd on the bus today.

An old man two seats up just asked a teenager to sit on his lap.

An alcoholic from a northern boom-town is hitting on a tweaking
pregnant woman by describing his train-wreck of a life, to the horror
of the straight-laced teenaged girl sitting beside him on the rear
seat.

The bus-driver is calling out every street and major landmarks, such
as grocery stores.

The man from the north has now appalled the pregnant junky. No one
looks mor uncomfortable than an appalled pregnant junky.

Now he's commenting loudly on the piercings of the
teenaged-lap-sitting-solicitee... Maybe they're actors... Maybe it's a
reality show or a psychological experiment.

Another person has got off from our area, leaving loud dude, old
creep, teenager, pregnant junky, sleeping guy and me at the back.
It's gone quiet....

Loud dude has determined that this street is the end of Prairie City. That's sensible.

Maybe she's not a junkie, maybe she just really really has to pee.

Loud dude is now mocking the bus driver, who just said 'next stop,
coming up!'. Ya figger?

Time to get off!

A post you probably shouldn't read.

"....so, you are learning to snowboard for her, placing important dates with her in your calendar, and now she is now doing your church bookings for you...sounds serious"

Somebody's snarky. And just plain factually wrong on two out of three counts. Nothing like taking information from others out of context to fabricate a reality that allows you to believe that events match your world-view.

You want to know what's going on in my life? Ask me, don't tell me.
