Thoughts on the Day

  • Going grocery shopping, three days before Thanksgiving, on the eve of the first sort-of-big snowfall of the year, and while hungry, might not have been the smartest thing I’ve ever done.
  • The city has been out brining and salting the roads, but this may be one of the few times that it will do some good.  I’ll give them a pass on this one.
  • Apparently Irish Woman gets an email every time I make an order from one of the more well-known gun parts suppliers on the Internet.
    • Yeah, I’m busted for buying an adjustable gas plug for my M-1.
    • So much for being sneaky discreet.
  • With all the reading I’ve been doing lately, I’ve been neglecting my blog list.
    • I opened up my reader today, and oh my, but you all have been busy, haven’t you?
    • I’m getting caught up.  Some of you may see some new comments on rather old posts.
  • Crash has developed a habit of climbing people as if they were trees so that he can settle upon their shoulders and purr in their ear.
    • It’s kind of cute when it’s done to someone else, but it’s going to the top of the list of things to discourage.
  • Holly Chism has put out her latest novel, Highway to Tartarus.  It’s an excellent read for adults.  You’ll want to read the first in the series before you get into this one, but it’s just as good.  Expect a review soon.
  • Finding a FaceBook group for my old unit in Augsburg was kind of neat.  Seeing all the 20+ year old pictures of both me and my friends consumed hours.
    • That staff sergeant that I worked for, the one I thought was older than dirt?  Yeah, he was only 28 at the time.
  • Girlie Bear told me tonight that part of her Social Studies homework was to write a haiku with each of her vocabulary words.
    • Apparently it’s been a weekly assignment since August, and I’m just now realizing it.
    • I told her that her teacher is a pinko commie twit, but he’s also a flake.
  • “No war for oil”, my ass.
    • At $3.45 a gallon for regular unleaded, I’ll push the “Bomb them back to the stone age” button myself if it means we can return to the prices we had in 2003.
    • If we’re going to be accused of being imperialists, we can at least reap the benefits of empire on occasion.

    A Haiku is to poetry what a Hi-Point is to pistols.
