Well on the mend. Now to get off my sorry butt and exercise to get in some sort of shape. There may be a job to be had in the near future. ( The kind the ECO gang have nightmares about.) There be a mine ah’ open’n!!
Had to put away the “green” medication, because there is a “test” I probably need to “study” for. That just means I have to take more of the prescribed stuff. But that’s what it takes to make an honest buck. ( No LIBS,, still haven’t taken a dime of “dole” money)
No guarantees on the job, there never are. It will be like going home. I worked in that same place 22 years ago, before it closed the last time.
It may be time to call in some favors. I may need some references. ( Heck,, maybe some of the “crew” here know the guys opening the digs)
It’s going to boil down to ” who do I need to screw to land this job?”
But this is no time to get my hopes up.

Mr. Fish, who knows what rang Michael’s bell. We can only speculate something with Burning Manboob to something simple like eating a can of bad chili. Another great mystery and the timing is a wee bit odd. Perhaps he does not like September. I don’t care for mid January myself, and yes, it’s all about me.

Remember Groucho’s line about never wanting to be a part of any organization that would allow a person of his sort to be a member?
Poor Anderson is pleading with society to stop him before he is himself any longer.
It’s called projection. Anderson actually is what he accuses George of being. And he doesn’t like it, but he can’t control himself. Does everyone understand now why we had (and will have) folks like Stalin and Mao?

Walt, sorry for thinking of you first and foremost when I discovered the missing item returned tied to a rock and thrown thru the front window. Perhaps it was the dude on the grassy knoll with his filthy oily hands. Men are such beasts.
Mr. Fish, your link above puzzles me. Why in tarnation are 75% of lesbians obese? Makes no senses. Should be 50%, give or take. Half of a lesbian couple has them large sports fanatic male personalities which would explain 50%. The other half are the dainty feminine Princesses, thus constituting the dynamic duo. Can’t fathom 75%, so in this case a study is warranted. Heaven knows us cross dressers have more than our share of obesity which is why we favor gowns and moo-moos, but I digress.
Did read a study last week that depression and general unhappiness is more likely and higher among lesbian couples than gay male couples or the general population. Maybe it is because 75% of them ladies are obese. We as a nation must do something to make them feel better about themselves. That head of NASA dude that was assigned the task of making camel jockeys feel better about themselves was quite successful.
Just look how the Ahabs are flexing their muscles now and galloping across the old empire toppling heads of states as they feel so so much better about themselves. Yep, that NASA dude has a proven track record and should be called upon to serve his nation again in the lesbians’ hour of need.
More money will solve this obesity epidemic and this new fangled depression crisis growing unchecked amidst our sisters.
This is America and there is no time for No Drama Obama to go cautious on us. Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead.

Not having participated in the research I can’t say definitively.
I offer this as a factor…..but I warn you….what follows is not for the faint of heart.
All of these possibilities will pale compared with the corporeal depravity I’m about to describe—a radical self-pleasuring act that may well represent the true frontier of female liberation. Which is to say I speak to you candidly now about some lesbians I know, two lesbians. They live in a suburb of Los Angeles. They’re both a hair north of forty. One is a computer technician; the other, a hospital administrator. Physically, they are much as you might picture them. For the past twelve years, Teri and Pat have had a special Monday-night ritual. They order an extra-large cheese pizza (sixteen slices). While waiting—and I am not making this up—they settle in on the couch with large twin bags of Doritos. Each chip is dipped first in Philadelphia cream cheese and then in salsa. Cream cheese, salsa. Cream cheese, salsa. Cream cheese, salsa. The Doritos are finished to the last crumb, and then, upon arrival, the pizza as well. For Teri and Pat, this night of a million carbs is, by special agreement, guilt-free. Both feel that it is better than sex.

Mr. Walt, I was going to suggest going behind the vets building when they have the free cheese giveaway day and buy a brick from one of the local recipients. But, that is not a wise suggestion. The people arrive there speeding through the parking lot (behind a grammar school no less) and cut each other off and fight for a parking space and disregard no parking signs and other signs in a frenzied state of mind. There is pushing and shoveling and rudeness and honking and that is before they even get our of there vehicles. Imagine 30-40 vehicles with handicap plates and only 6 handicap parking spots on free cheese day. It ain’t pretty I tell ya, nor safe. Don’t think by the look in their wild eyes that they would be in the mood to part with the brick of cheese for ten bucks.
Perhaps Grocery Outlet would have a hunk of Velveta for a reasonable price.

Many of those coming across are members of the MS13 gang, which is touted to be one of the most dangerous gangs in the world.

In addition, Muslim prayer blankets have been reportedly found at the border indicating that in all likelihood we may have Muslim extremists entering as well, though we all know full well that some have been here for some time.
maybe O’Keefe dropped it when he crossed in his Osama costume…

There are many who feel that the time is coming soon when the American way of life will be in great jeopardy and we will be in for the fight of our lives on several fronts for our very survival. Sadly, our survival is being threatened by the very government we the people elected to protect us. The state of California appears to being doing nothing to stem the tide of the illegal immigrants entering but actually seems to be encouraging more to enter.

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/country-lost-kids/
While many may be genuinely interested in making a better life you can be assured that there are some who want only to cause death and destruction. I would also point out that legislators and their families will likely not be immune to this and in fact will probably be prime targets for these savages. This is a time when all American people should be building a defense arsenal and preparing for the storm we all know is coming. It seems, though, that the California government is more intent on disarming its people and limiting our access to weapons and ammunition.
My question ladies and gentlemen — whose side are you on?

…and of course gun control measures continue apace in California.
So other than the tone of the letter offending your delicate and patrician sensibilities where has the author made any factual errors? And Mr. Ehlers is posing important and relevant questions. Most of the weekend your lead article….shocking…had to do with food.
