TSA news

Roaming around he internet is always fun from the standpoint of reading indignantly righteous people with their poison pens bitching about any subject available. The news is always a good minefield for these folks to plant their overactive libidos, imaginations and indignations. Lately the phlethora of words are about the TSA and how abusive the procedures have become. What with full body scans, and pat downs . . . My aunt admonished me (no kidding) to always wear clean underwear in case I got into an accident. I always figured that if I was in a serious accident, my resultant stained underwear would be the least of my problems. But, however. People with, what I perceive as having dirty drawers, are now complaining that some scanner dude will see such and post this information with other arrivals on the flight marque boards. Make a choice America. Get scanned or get your asses blown off.

election

I am sure that many of the pundits will slice and dice the election costing billions yesterday. Each will declare an epiphany of political savvy. None will declare that they actually voted or that their vote counted. None will decry the billions spent on campaigns filled with smear, misdirection, and outright lies. All will declare that their side won - even in a loss. Torches will be passed to the new representative or senator with grace, aplomb and civility with a set of rules defined by chivalric and Victorian courtesies. Crap! It is all crap. We as citizens do not really get to elect fair, impartial and representative advocates of our needs. America ignored the upcoming recession as they overbought houses, overextended their own credit and bought anything Chinese from Wal-Mart. We lived in a bubble of false security, a propensity for fooling ourselves that everything will be OK, and the US of A will always be safe from economic or physical harm.

Consider that the same politicians (in effect) lost Viet Nam; can't really do anything about terrorism except throw money at Homeland Security and hope the cash will mix with someone's blood, make a slurry and dry to create impenatrable adobe blocks that will somehow also solve the illegal alien issues; are still clueless about the current recession; and, likely ignore the people that they pledge to serve.

new terrorist stuff

Gee - ya' think that we should be more careful about packages from Yemen??? How about the rest of the world??? I, for one am sick of this 21st century terrorist crap. Don't travel to Europe because of a possible threat. Don't use the toilet because a bomb (or snake, or spider, or alligator etc.) could be lurking there. Now here is a great thought. Young lady from Scandenavia did a book on where the pig parts go - seems that this little piggy went to 185 different places for uses. We all know about food, hides, insulin and glue; but, did we have any idea that ammo was one of the uses. Now, follow me on this. We're shootin' Taliban and other baddies trained in Pakistan with pig parts. Will this fact negate the 70 virgins awaiting when they get their butts blown off from American ammo? Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it. The moral to this story is to be sure to use made in the USA bullets the next time you are confronted with a Jihadist.

rip offs you miss

I try real hard not to get excited about the small crap in everyday life. The real big stuff like, "God did it," swears Mary, I leave to others. However, I do get off on sneaky charges added to something I buy. Heading home from Sam's Club today, I stopped at Filibertos for a burrito and a coke. No big deal as I fumble out my debit card and hand it over. When the slip comes back to me there is a $.60 processing fee added on> Hmmm, that's 9% vig on top of the bill. Considering that I paid 8.8% tax to the city and state, I now have paid about 17% more for my food. My point is: If you are buying something the charges levied should be stated up-front. Kinda the honest thing to do, don't you think?

On the ankle issue, had to put off the final surgery. Had noone to drive me home and 'watch me' for the ensuing 24 hours after anesthetic. Life goes on.

I'm back - sort of

I've been out of touch with everything lately. After 5 monthis in the hospital and somewhat depressed about it, I'm preparin g to return to surgery for a final nip and tuck, screw removal, etc. Hopefully, this will be the last of the cutting games for the foot. Have that nasty hole in my stomach that they are talking about repairing - finally. Anyway, life is OK - baked a chicken (French style) tonight for dinner. Was too busy connecting my new computer to my Xbox to get to it while it was warm. Oh well . . .

This was not my post !!!!! Some A.hole used my site for their cheap commercial crap.

Walking cast

Seems the walking boot they put on me chafed causing lots of blood and other ick to dry in the sock and attach to the wounds. Now with the resultant infection under control and a new hard cast on my leg, I'm back to sort of square one. Anyway I endure.
