Dog Days of summer just ain't what they used to be


Now that we've been Zimmered and Snowdened half to death there's not a lot to write about. Sure Fukushima is still leaking and congress is all but doing nothing, those are a given. Nothing with any meat to write about. Come on fate throw me a bone would ya? But then again why bother? Seems it isn't news unless it's bad news and the spigot is running dry. Standoffs are so common in the country they've become about as exciting as an La. car chase. Spare me the film at 11 would you? Two common endings include the suspect crashing the stolen vehicle into (pick one) light pole, mail box, van turning or the obligatory leap off the highway and down a ravine at least 100 feet. Yawn.

Must cheer up, there's always hurricane season to look forward to. But I guess with life if you live it long enough you've seen just about everything and more than once.    Can't think of much I haven't seen or been surprised about. Come on fickle finger of fate wage it around and let's see what you can come up with. Sorry but I just couldn't take another reality show involving such mundane tasks as ironing (does anybody still do that?) or watching paint dry. Oh that's a disheartening thought, competitive paint drying contests complete with cheating because you know everybody cheats nowadays.

Must be something to do while I sit here listening to my arteries harden. Come on amuse me with your snark you know you want to....

Maybe this will finally be the year that Yellowstone blows. Optimism!

Too hell with all that, I've been posting about my trip to Montana to meet Doc Teri and Time. Good time, good time.

Governments will use whatever technology is available to them to combat their primary enemy - their own population.

The American Medical Association researchers have made a remarkable discovery. It seems that some patients needing blood transfusions may benefit from receiving chicken blood rather than human blood. It tends to make the men cocky and the women lay better.

Now don't you DARE say anything bad about Honey Boo Boo. And "Camp" (on USA) is so intellectually stimulating, I've been forgetting to watch Burn Notice when it comes on right afterward.
