Monday…Back With A Vengeance

 - Some subhuman piece of filth threw 2 puppies into a tar pit in Odessa last week. I can’t bear to read full articles, as there are photos. Headlines say the pups were successfully rescued and are recovering well.

We have more and more examples of ‘humans’ torturing the innocent just for kicks. Rabbit punching elderly and handicapped, torturing animals, etc. Sadly I don’t see this ever changing. It’s not new, though. We as a species have not evolved much in the last 2500 yrs, if it all.

- So…the plumbers came on Wednesday to fix Niagara Falls Midland Edition under the house.  Problem is neither of them could fit in the crawl space under the house.  Had to cut another hole and work their way there…thank god we don’t have a slab. FWIW these guys seem to know their trade.

-Seen: they said I should get as excited about church as I do football games. Seems dumping 5 gallons of Gatorade on the pastor after his sermon was over wasn’t what they meant.

- Political vengeance is destroying/has already destroyed the idea known as the United States. Current beltway mentality seems stuck on getting even or getting ahead.  On one hand we are being told to just forget events like 9/11, but in the same breath being told if we don’t approve of reparations for things 150 yrs ago we are hate filled racists…more man hours and tax dollars seem to be spent on ‘investigating’ opposing parties than are spent on actual programs for the American citizen…the Constitution seems to be  a weapon, not sets of protections.  

I’m genuinely open to how this will get fixed. IMO unless fixed and soon, there won’t be anything left. It appears that electing new members of congress is like new deck chairs for a sinking ship.

- I don’t know what’s worse: media names that genuinely believe the bullshit they spew, or those who just do what they are told to cash a substantial paycheck, regardless of their true reactions and leanings.  I think at this point it’s a dead even tie in a race no one believes is being run

- Dawned on me the other day that it’s ok to not care what other people think.  It’s NOT ok to give up and not care what you think. Personal standards lead to some real respect by others

- About ready to move to the next level in the quest to being a non smoker.  Already feeling the physical (and financial) effects of going from 1.5 packs a day to 5-6 a day. Continued shoutout to my petite bride, as she seems ahead of me in the quest to be non smokers.

- Everyone needs a helping hand now and then…but when one asks, then demands, then threatens me with harm if I don’t provide help, well, that’s when my mean streak comes to life in all its glory.  I promise it won’t end for you.
