Off-Schedule Odds and Ends


I had almost forgotten that I have a dental appointment this morning, so I have time both to do my time on the elliptical machine* and write a short blog post. Aren't you lucky?

Just a few odds and ends for today ...

In a tragic accident yesterday, a huge, aimlessly-floating bag of gas crashed and burned. But enough about Congress - a hot air balloon caught fire over Luxor, Egypt, and fell 1000 feet in flames, killing 19 tourists and crew members. I don't think I'll be doing any hot-air balloon flights in the near future. Or the far future.

How about a few things culled from Facebook and other assorted sinkholes on the Internet ...

There'd be a great many people working at Faux News and MSNBC with badly scarred legs ...


Who cares about the new player token in Monopoly? The game is out of date, anyhow ...


I've sent the address to my Congressional delegation, along with a gift certificate ...


This may help Congressman Paul Broun (R, GA) deal with all those "lies from the pits of hell" that he courageously fights from his position on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology ...


This may help frame your righteous indignation as you petition whomever for redress of grievances ...


No question about it ... 


And finally, this one just about sums up the way I feel on most days ... 


Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.

Now that Airing of Grievances form I can use! I especially like it that a person can check off different categories and offense frequency.

I hope your appointment goes well and is endurable.

A Luxury Tax? Somehow, I think they slipped in a Getting By Tax.

I'm all over that last one!

Happy Hump Day!

Yes, let's become ex pats in a place with a beach.

And where we don't speak the language. That way we won't understand all the crap that's going on!

The Monopoly one is oh so true.
