Thoughts on the Day

  • It is rarely a good thing when your rheumatologist asks how long it’s been since you had  a chest x-ray and an EKG.
  • Nothing good can come from “I need to talk to the managers.  Everyone else, please leave.” at the conclusion of a staff meeting.
  • Boo asked me tonight if I was “bona fide”.  I replied that I was the “pater familius”.  He thought it was funny.
  • Girlie Bear is working a project for geography class where she researches major American cities that don’t have an NFL team and comes up with good reasons that they should get one, along with a name.  We had to break it to her that the “Las Vegas Pokers” wasn’t such a great idea.
  • Overheard in the grocery store:  “Look, just because I pick up a couple cans of Redi-Whip doesn’t mean you get to make a pass at me!”
  • Moonshine craves maple syrup.
  • It is very difficult to get maple syrup out of the fur around a puppies mouth without giving him a complete bath.
  • Bluegrass seems to have fully accepted the new puppy.  Shadow still isn’t too happy.  OK, let’s face it, he’s in a blue funk over the whole thing. I’ve never had a dog get depressed before.
  • Went and bought Birdzilla for Thanksgiving tonight.  I guess I can be pretty confident that I’m right when I say that a 24 pound turkey probably isn’t organic.
    • Yummy, yummy hormones
  • I almost fulfilled my prophecy from yesterday and hit a deer tonight.  It was a nice 6 or 8 point buck who looked just as surprised to see me as I was to see him when we both skidded to a stop.
  • Drinking beer and listening to hippie music is  a fine way to end the day.

    Pokers would be pretty bad. We should stick with the same idea though, as that’s preetty solid. How about Las Vegas Craps?

    Re. the “almost roadkill” deer, I have a friend who lives in what passes for deer country here in the UK: He has perfected the art of stopping about about 3ft too late when Bambi steps out in front of his van. The fact that he has heavy-duty bull-bars on the van and always carries a selection of knives in a clean toolbox is entirely coincidental, as is his trade (butcher). I have wondered about his strange fetish for large chest freezers in his garage……..

      Smart fellow. And if I recall correctly, your deer are a bi beefier than our white tails, so that’s got to be some setup he has on his car.

    Ford Transit 4×4, ex.British Army, fairly impact-resistant – he got tired of minor accidents while living in a city; after he got one of these, other drivers seemed a little more awake….
