Thoughts on the Day

  • Girlie Bear got taken out to buy a brides maid’s dress this afternoon.  I wonder if the dress stores have customer loyalty cards?
  • I had a Christian thought at the grocery store today.
    • Well, sort of.
    • Actually, it was along the line of “Lady, you cut me off with your cart full of junk food one more time, and I’ll sideswipe your cart so hard you’ll see Jesus.”
  • To the skinny guy wearing a pink sweater and skinny jeans in the produce area who took offense when I asked him to watch his language because of the presence of old ladies within earshot, I am not a homophobe.  I don’t care who you sleep with; you’re just a foul-mouthed twit and I was raised right.
  • Stopped at the liquor store for beer and bourbon.  The clerk didn’t bat an eye when I remarked that the Eagle Rare was for sipping and the Jim Beam was for cooking.
    • The nouveau redneck transplant who was buying a bottle of Blanton’s “because it has the prettiest bottle” had to have it explained to him.
    • I was gentle and courteous.  I was new here once myself.
  • Moonshine weighed in at 40 pounds today when we visited the vet.  He’s 18 weeks old.  I may have to start going to the vet that services the thoroughbred farms.
  • It started snowing last night, and so far we’ve gotten a couple of inches.  I have yet to see a snow plow with his blade down.
    • I have, however, seen two four-wheel drive SUV’s in the ditch.
    • My rear wheel drive pick-up seems to be doing OK, however.
  • One of my senators voted to send F-16 fighters and M-1 tanks to Egypt.  It’s Mitch McConnell, head of the Republican minority.  As of this moment, he has lost my vote.  It’s going to take a lot of pro-gun activism on his part to win it back.
  • If President Obama shoots a Browning shotgun, and Vice-President Biden says that if you want to have a gun for self-protection, then you should get a shotgun, can we expect that both their personal protection details will be decked out with over-and-under shotguns the next time we see them?
    • I know, I’m always the starry-eyed optimist.
  • I simply cannot wait for the Cabela’s up the road to open.  I want to walk those aisles denuded of ammunition and see all the empty gun racks.
