Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another day in the Big Apple - is New York the Big Apple? so I guess maybe this is the Big Pumpkin? oh what am I thinking - of course it is the Big Potato! Just another Day in the Big Potato - uhhh doesn't sound right - Big Spud? Big Tater? screw it!
Might be the last of the warm days we see this year - a great day but feel a change in the weather - you know when your weather bone starts tingling that there will be a change in the weather - tingle, tingle - guess season changes are like ice cream - some are chocolate and some are maple walnut - know what I mean?
I am proud to announce that this blog is now world wide and international at the same time - over 20 people have read this blog in three countries including North America and United States - thanks to my loyal followers I have been picked up for an additional 1000 blogs - I am free to write until the year 2011 and beyond if I want - or can.
"I used to drive a green Ford but it didn't get me very far, then I drove a white Ford and it didn't get me around the block, once I drove a yellow Ford and it went it reverse better than I thought, so now I don't drive a Ford and I do just fine."
Hambone, just because a woman tells you she is a nurse doesn't mean you unzip your pants and ask her if she thinks the red rash is bad, not good Hambone, not good....
Only news I saw today was something about kids spending more time in school, I will get more details and report back to you.
With time running down and the ball on the 45 I drop back and throw up a Hail Mary pass - game over, game over - Bye!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an America Madman - Just another Day - but today was the first day of the rest of our life - what was yesterday? is tomorrow the second day or does it just start over - just wondering boys, just wondering - a very special day it was though - has there ever been a better Sept. 27, 2009 so far this year? I don't think so...
The day started with the company of my favorite almost two year old... I have a whole new and different perspective of life when in the presence of such a bright star - spent the morning and early afternoon with the biggest 'Cars' fan - mowed the lawn, sprayed for bugs around perimeter of the house, the fun never stops in funville, and then went to a salad bar, then to Bestest Buy for a laptop case and finally to Schwinco for some warehouse bargains on canned, super processed and frozen items. Funville I tell ya, funville! In between all of that excitement I did manage to watch 17.5 hours of NFL today - how do I fit it all in, how do I do it?
Did you read the story about the guy that was renting out a vacant house to others even though he did not own it but claimed he held some tax paper on it and that was his proof of ownership - I am not sure how that works but I am thinking with all of the empty houses now wouldn't it be enterprising of someone to just put up a for rent sign on these places and start collecting rent? I am sure it isn't that easy but let's see if we hear any more stories similar to the one today.
Did you know Big Larry has a degree in Psychology? Neither did I! Maybe it's not Psychology, maybe it's Social Science or Social Security or something like... anyway I saw a certificate or a degree from some University... printed at Sear's but I think it was a real piece of paper... Big Larry is a smart fella...
What will the coming days bring, just wondering boys, just wondering... By and Bye!!!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day o boy - what a day it is o boy - nice day in the hood - as hood as it gets in southwest redneckia - doesn't get much better than a beautiful day in the fall with just a touch of the season change in the air - except for a nice spring day with the promise of new beginnings and growth - or some other great day o boy!
Yes, started the day as usual - slid out of the 600 thread count cotton sheets - not even sure if that is good or not - does it get better the higher the thread count or is it like golf and the lower the score the better? that is golf right? - powered down a couple of cups of coffee to start the day just right and headed out with a smile on my face and love in my heart - I think it was my heart, anyways a good day at work - nothing too crazy or bizarre today just a well run day - came home from a day of employment, went to dinner and then off to one of my favorite places to spend a quiet evening - your local chain book store - good times! One thing I did notice in the bookstore was a section of books titled "New History" - now not sure what that means, was it new releases of history? was it history that has been re-written? did someone find some new stuff? - just wondering, smile o boy!
Haven't seen Big Larry or Hambone in some time now - not that unusual for them to stay away for days and even weeks at a time - once Big Larry met a girl at the Stage Stop and I didn't see him for about a month - I think he ended up in Nevada somewhere - something to do with falling asleep in her camper and her boyfriend kidnapping him and demanding a ransom - I guess it could be true - could be!
Well, I do believe that is all for today o boy - have yourself a merry little merry - o boy - Bye!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day unlike any other Day but Just another Day - that was totally lame, totally - the day was not lame though - a beautiful day in the beautifulist day place in the place that is this place - oh, geez, lame ass stuff, totally.
Started the day as usual - pried myself from slumber and tripped my way through the routine that is my routine - why am I so lame today? routine that is my routine? - lame - but anywaysssss.... for some reason I did not drink my usual elephant heart stopping amount of super charged caffeine laced liquid I lovingly refer to as God's nectar, some others call it coffee - hmmm... do feel a little sluggish, maybe there is something to that whole stimulant thing...maybe the scientist guys that dream up that stuff get one right now and then - but I know some science guys that are pretty cool because anyone that sends me the latest 'Trailer Park Boys' is just alright with me I tell ya - not too much to report as far as my day at work goes - Unknown Corona - I will tell you that story someday, or maybe not, rules you know.
Did anyone see our President of the United States on late night talk shows? Me either but I heard about it - does that seem right? Don't people that are promoting movies or books go on late night talk shows and tell jokes or fall down drunk and stuff? Now don't get me wrong, I think maybe he is trying to connect with the masses and communicate to a wider audience and I am all for better communication - because we all know I need to learn that whole communicate more openly thing, shyness is shyness, what? - but just seems a tad (that means 'a little' for those not familiar with the metric system) undignified for the President to be cracking jokes on late night TV - such is the world we live in I guess.
Has anyone seen Big Larry the last couple of days? Said he had a full tank of gas on Saturday night - not sure how Big Larry gets a full tank of gas in his pickup legally but now he is gone - probably went to scout out a deer camp - as soon as it gets cold he will be back - the cold didn't bother him all his life until that one time with the cheap tequila in Twin Falls - oooo boy - sorry I brought that up - if you see Big Larry tell him his mail is being sent here and I am holding it for him.
And that is just about all the rambling that this rambling man can ramble about rambling - what? - lame, just lame, lame lame... Bye! Lame Bye!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day in the French countryside - or I mean Paris - or the Paris of Idaho - oh hell, this place isn't anything like Paris - although I have never been to Paris I have been to Salt Lake City - so I have been around - you know it, you know it! A beautiful day as it is the last day of summer officially I think - or something to that affect (effect?) - freakin' English major I ain't - do you really consider the language we speak and write here English or is it some derivative of some bastard of a language that used to be English - the way I use words I should be ashamed, ashamed I say!
Started the day gasping for a strong dose of caffeine - and it continues into the evening as I am still sipping at the $2.99 white porcelain cup from CostPlus filled with the goodness that is 'bucks coffee - a little product placement for ya - not too much going on today - work was work - always something interesting but not always worth mentioning - simple things to keep the interest going.
Hambone wants to talk about politics - in one spasm of words he curses the friggin' democrats for turning this country into a socialist nation of pansies and freeloaders - not sure where he picked up terms like 'socialist' and 'democrat' because I am almost positive he doesn't understand the meaning of either, must be listening to AM radio again - but then he curses the fact that his monthly allotment of food stamps are not enough to keep him in meat stick and hot pepper cheese and his unemployment benefits might run out after 2 years - Hambone is a funny guy! Not funny ha, ha...
Anyone have any questions? I have a whole bunch of questions but none have to do with why I am here or where I am going when I am not here - so I guess we will end this days session on that note - musical reference? Maybe so, maybe so - Good Bye! Good Bye!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day - the holiest day of the week - as reported by the unholiest of the unholy - don't even know what that means frankly - guess I shouldn't say things if I don't know what they mean - just kidding - half this crap is totally unknown to me - did I say half? You know what I mean? Oh!
Started the day midway through the morning as I didn't roll out of the sack - there is that phrase again - until after 9:00am - guess I shouldn't bitch about what time I woke up because most of the time I tend to complain about not sleeping at all - just seems when you get up that late half your day is over already - what a complainer, sleep too much, waaaa..., don't sleep enough, waaaa.... - waa, waa, waa - what a complainer!
Good day though - just a touch of fall in the air - never sure if you are supposed to capitalize a season? Fall? fall? Get back to me on that would you? Thanks! Using a lot of punctuation today! What is with that? Huh? A day of NFL and just hanging - not bad - need a weekend like this once every month or so - soon it will be winter (Winter) and I am sucky about travel when the roads are even just a bit bad - sucky I say!
I had mentioned some time ago about a disclaimer that I should post at the beginning of each of these episodes of projectile word vomiting - still working on that - probably should do it soon so no one reads this and takes it the wrong way - wouldn't want that - oh no - heaven forbid - heaven forbid? There I go with the holy stuff - really heaven, really?
One topic that sticks in my mind today is the continued push for a trolley in the local metropolitan downtown area - a bit of sarcasm in using the term metropolitan - the idea is that a trolley system in the downtown area would move people around more efficiently downtown and bring growth and business to the downtown area creating jobs and commerce downtown - and I really don't have anything against a trolley system but I do believe the timing is not the best to be pushing it right now - if the economy were hot and the rest of the valley's transportation issues were under control the the idea might have a better footing, but to continue to bring it up now is really a misplaced priority - work on the bus system first, work on mass transit around the valley, even put some of that effort into better roads but the time for a trolley system is not great - just ask one of the laid off Boise City employees if a trolley system is a good idea right now?
Wow, where did that little burst of a rant come from? Who is writing this today? - the answer is no one because I am done and done - sleepy - Bye!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day of another Week of another Month of another Year...blah, blah, blah... but a lovely day and love to have days that are at my leisure - ahhhh... it is toward the end of summer and will be fall soon - harvest is near an end... blah, blah, blah... see how i do that - when I don't have anything to write I go to the blah and dot technique - little trick I learned from being a lazy ass!
Started the day with a great cup of hot coffee - I derive a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction from the simple things in life - sleeping till I awake on my own, a great cup of coffee, a hobbit serving me breakfast with plenty of bacon and eggs to strengthen the legs - who? what? Just doing a few jobs around the house, watching great college football - had a chance to take a nap but moved instead - crazy craziness is what it is I tell you!
Seems to be a rash of teachers having relations with students lately but is there more of that going on or are more just getting caught - I don't really remember if any teachers were involved with students in my younger school years - not that I was aware anyway - don't really remember any teachers being attractive enough - oh, well - wonder what happens to a teacher to make them turn to a student for sex - hmmm.
Big Larry has a new winter coat - don't know where he got the money to buy a new coat - nothing saying he bought it I guess - he is afraid it will be a cold winter and wants to be sure he stays warm - told me he is thinking of moving to somewhere warm, maybe Arizona, but he heard the cost of living is higher there - not sure when Big Larry started worrying about cost of living - Hambone told him he wouldn't move to Arizona because he doesn't think they will let him take his firearms across the border - Hambone is paranoid about taking his guns across borders because he doesn't want to end up in one of those fenced in jails like he saw on 60 minutes or Dateline or one of those news shows - a truck driver from Montana told Big Larry he should stay in Idaho because there are just a bunch of losers in Arizona and Big Larry would just get sucked into that cesspool of society - Big Larry just wants to be sure he stays warm in winter.
Is you a hobbit or is you not - then that will be all for me my little friend! Bye and so bye!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - NOT Just another Day, but yet another day all the same - livin' lovida loco in the heart of whine country - spelling, no it is just fine. What is happening boys? I think we need a bigger boat - beautiful day in the neighborhood and all points in between.
Started the day in a slightly different manner - rose a few minutes early and put my sweet barbeque bean concoction together in the crock pot - a little get together tonight and no one can pass up the crock o' beans! Day was nothing if not a little manic, is that the correct description? I guess I am the only one that would know - passed the day with a smile on my face and a scab on my cheek - don't look, I am hideous - or look and wonder how did that dude get a scab the size and shape of Montana on his face? - came home from work and had a small get together of family for dinner - ate too much as usual - nummy stuff - really need to get productive this weekend and get a few things done around here, like hacking down the jungle that was once a lawn - other things that may be accomplished while one eye is on the football games! Love it!
Today was one of those no news days - sorry - my reporting of the news is a little suspect as of late - I can't think of one topic that even comes to mind - again assuming I have a mind and it actually functions, functions, functions.
Ever have one of those people that ask a lot of questions? Hambone asks one question after another and about every third question is about sex - he asks a lot about masturbation - like frequency and stuff - Geez, whack away dude, what the hell do I care, just keep it to yourself - making me uncomfortable - Geez!
OK, that must be the end of the line for today - is end of the line a railroad term or drug user term? Bye and bye!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day in the life of Superman - leaping tall buildings in a single bound - as long as my sore back is OK - a wonderful early fall day in the greatest state that starts with an I and a D, A, and a ho,ho,ho - such a clever little monkey.
Oh boy, almost didn't get out of bed this morning - not for any other reason than pure ass laziness - bed was so snugly, wugly warm and haven't been sleeping great again - must be a major thought inspiration coming on - happens when I don't sleep well - either that or crap just sounds better when you are sleep deprived - seemed like a great idea at the time - wish I had the three fingers on my left hand back - coffee was my savior this morning - big shout out to my favorite nephew, the coffee master!
Not much to report in the world of work today - nice productive day that flowed from one minute to the next without anyone yelling at me or freaking out because of some misplaced life priority - so what if the new white out bottle does not have the comfort grip - if you freak out because there is no comfort grip on the white out bottle, whoa!
I did hear that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has started publishing the bible in a Spanish version now. Not sure why that caught my attention but it did. So many directions and discussions I want with this topic - stay, stay, stay - makes me wonder a lot of things but lets talk about them at some future meeting.
Am I done? Maybe, maybe not, maybe, maybe not - guess if you don't know and I don't know than I must be done - bye, Bye, BYe, BYE - like how I did that!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another freaky Friday but it is Monday so it was different - yes, it makes sense if you turn around and read it from the other side.
Started today as most days - don't you think it is important to start the day? I like to begin the day by waking - seems like the thing to do - I have had a few days in my life when I didn't wake up, well at least didn't get out of bed for one reason or another but that is a whole 'nother story. Day went by swimmingly, nice day for a day - nothing really to report - no strange or even mildly interesting events to report - crap I should be making stuff up to write.
I don't even think too much was happening in the world outside of my view - the big hub bub today was Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame speech in which he was kind of an ass and the other thing was some hip hop douche interrupted an awards ceremony - yes, people that is the news of the day - that stuff and this weird ass blog you are reading. Hope you are enjoying the view.
Big Larry is a Rock star, Big Larry is goin' to go far, Big Larry drives a big car, Big Larry, BIG LARRY, Big Larry is a Rock Star!
Does anyone read this drivel or am I just strokin' it for my own amusement? I am going to give you a year or two to let me know. As long as my brain short circuits on a regular basis I can keep this mess rollin'.
Except now I am done for today and you will have to go now - I mean I have to go - Bye!

Does anyone read this drivel or am I just strokin' it for my own amusement? I am going to give you a year or two to let me know. As long as my brain short circuits on a regular basis I can keep this mess rollin'.
Except now I am done for today and you will have to go now - I mean I have to go - Bye!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day - a lovely day in the great northwest which is north and west of what? - isn't that a matter of where you are at the time? Just asking! Geez! First full weekend of NFL football and a full weekend of college football - love it - yes, I am repeating myself from the other day - don't hate me because I am idle minded - is that a condition?
Started the day with a bang - not sure what that means - actually started the day with a cup of Joe in a manufactured home in between some pine trees and surrounded by more trees, I guess some pine and others not pine. Was in that position because I spent the weekend in a little getaway lovingly referred to as the "cabin by the lake." Very nice weekend I might add!
What would you do with a bonus $500? I often dream about what I would do with a multi-million dollar lottery win but don't often dream about what dreams could be made real with an lottery winning of $500. Dinner and a movie? Pay the utility bills? Maybe fulfill the dream from a short nap but not a full on techni-color dream! Is techni-color a trademark? Or is it a condition? You so slow baby!
Has anyone seen my Nanny? She is a bright and shiny Nanny with six or seven sides and a candy apple red undercoat - my Nanny answers to the name of Lola or Joey but never call my Nanny after eight o'clock at night for the phones don't ring in the time zone she resides - Wow!!! where did that come from? I really need to check the expiration date on the canned whole chickens! Do they lure the chickens into the can and put a lid on them or how exactly is that done?
OK, well, if you see me standing by the side of the road and it looks like I might need assistance you know what to do! Good bye from the Northwest of things south and east! Bye!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day which means just another Night which means just another Day, you get the point! - but you really need to enjoy each of those days as they come - it is toward the middle of the ninth month of 09 - not important though - oh I guess it might be important to some - if it is your birthday or other important day, like trash day or pay day etc.
Day started as usual - not a terribly exciting day - fairly busy - coffee was good today - always a positive - just trying to think of anything funny or strange happening - crap not a single thing - the first regular season game of NFL - love it!
I actually caught a little news today - seemed to be mostly reaction to the Presidents speech last night concerning health care reform - it kind of gripes my ass that there is so much 'us against them' bullshit - health care in this country needs some attention and what we end up getting is freakin' bickering about who is right and who is wrong - just get over the crap and get together and get something done or don't do anything but this bickering and bickering is bullshit! And I am not taking one side or the other but this churning is getting the country nowhere! Work toward a positive end, positive for the country and not one party or the other! Should have never got me started on that - ha, ha, ha!
Big Larry has tickets for this weekends BSU game - how did he get tickets? - he can barely scrape enough cash together for gas to get around the block - wonder what he did to get tickets to a football game? - maybe Hambone had something to do with it - he works once in awhile so maybe he had money - it will be interesting to see how Big Larry handles a crowd - he hates being in a public restroom with another person let alone lining up shoulder to shoulder at the trough urinal - oh well, probably hear about it on the news - "Big Larry, Bogan Prince of Idaho, arrested for public nuisance."
The train just ran out of steam - bye, bye!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day - bright and shiny goes the day - a very nice and lovely day in the September of the year - how is your day?
This, the first day of the work week after a long weekend started as most days - not enough coffee to shake the cobwebs of the time off - not anything too pressing to announce as the work day proceeded - is that a word? proceeded? probably not - I seem to make up words as I go - no great or terrible moments - Insane Clown Posse is in town - if you see four of their vans at a Motel you should stop and take a picture.
A guy ran over a skunk as he was driving down the road, he stopped, picked up the dead skunk and placed it in his trunk - when asked why he would put the dreadfully stinky skunk in the trunk of his car, his reply was that he didn't want everyone driving by to be offended by the smell - moral of the story? Oh hell, ha ha ha ha ha..... I crack myself up!
Did anyone see the school speech today? Me either. As a reporter for the people I really must put a little more effort into stuff that goes on in the world. It seems there was something in the speech about something and then more about this and that. Pretty typical speech I think.
Someone asked why I spend so much time talking about myself and all of my little quirks and weirdness - Oh I don't know - do you really think it is quirky and weird? My life baby, my life. Maybe I should start each one with a disclaimer - I am definitely going to think of what is to be disclaimed.
And then an end was near to the pain called rambling - bye until we meet again on this road to Happyville! Bye!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - NOT just another day in the freakish life of a freakin' freewheeling freak from Freaksville - guess what word is my favorite today? - you guessed it! - Oh you didn't? Don't worry there will be another chance to guess at the end of this freaking run on of words and other things concocted of the alphabet - do you have the same problem I do when it comes to the alphabet?
Started today like most days - waking, scratching in certain places, opening of eyes (think I have mentioned the eye issue before), but opened them in a place that was not my own but belonged to a resort - that is cool - and yes I was supposed to be there - wasn't illegal or unknown to the resort - I could get used to the life style but they would have to make some concessions for me - because I am so high maintenance - those white robes need to be just a little softer - kind of gave me a rash on my tushy - and just two chocolates with the bed turn down? you gotta be kidding me - you want me to live there I will need at least 12 chocolates each night and that is non negotiable - see what they have to say to that!
"I stepped outside the lines tonight and what did I see? A freaky little dude staring back at me..." Quote from my mind.
Oh man, forgot to pay attention to any world, local or otherwise news today - did anything happen? I did just briefly hear something about President Obama and a speech - any idea what that was about? I will try to find out and let you know later.
OK, one last guess at my favorite word of the day - do you think I should do a "Guess the song lyrics" section once in awhile - I mean real song lyrics, not my song lyrics - let me know - Big Larry is not offended easily - Big Larry can be offensive though - and that is the end my friend, bye!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day in what is considered the Eden of the Northwest - who in the hell would ever consider this anything like Eden has never been past the Ada county line - can't say what day it is or even the time of year - a little mystery for you to figure out there Einstein - was that a little mean? Sorry, only up to 50% on my caffeine level - will be better soon - who am I kidding? Does anyone really think six more cups of super caffeinated coffee will make me a better person? Let's try it anyway! Can't hurt, right? Might shake a little but that is how I know I have had the right amount of coffee, shake, perspire just a bit, hair on the back of my neck tingles - level of caffeine just right - it is maintaining that level that is a bitch - that much coffee is bound to make water - do I obsess about coffee? sip, sip, gulp.
An early start today, kind of think it is an aging thing - not that I am old, just sleeping in seems to be a rare thing anymore - once in awhile I can force myself to sleep in till 9:00am but that is becoming an oddity - 7:00am and usually wide awake - periodically have sleep issues - I don't practice good sleep hygiene - fancy term for too much freakin' coffee at 10 o'clock at night - ha,ha,ha, back to the coffee issue - hell, I need some right now!
Bye and bye - only to return with a rose and a poem - WHAT?

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day - sometime in the early fall or late summer - or really late spring - or really early winter - guess you get the point - at least it is still 2009 - not sure why I need to identify date or time or season - just gives an anchor to the point or maybe a swivel to no point at all!
Started the day like any other Friday (clue to the weekday) - rolled out of the sack - what is a sack? Slugged down a dose of coffee - I think today's selection was a Central American blend - lovely bouquet with a very nice finish and lingering flourish - nothing of notice at work, flowed very nice - someone said something about the day going by quickly and being able to start the weekend, but I am not sure it is a good idea to wish for time to pass too quickly - I am thinking it is better for the time to pass smoothly and not fast - the hours, days, weeks, months and years pass fast enough without wishing a day to go by - enjoy the day - make the most of it - work with it - came home after work, had a little to eat and headed out to do a few errands - very pleasant evening.
I forgot to pay attention to any news today, well I didn't forget, I just didn't pay attention - I guess a war is going on somewhere still, maybe something was said about the economy - college football starts this weekend, love that - if I was being paid to cover current topics I would be fired today - well, such is life!
Did you miss me? I didn't think so - haven't spewed my brand of mystery meat in this format for a couple of days - don't worry - I am not going anywhere - lucky you - I was just on a top secret mission for an alternate galaxy and really can't talk about it - maybe someday - maybe not!
Think that is all for now - Hambone (not his real name) asked about the BSU game last night - not sure I know - have a great night and day - bye squid bye!

Ramblings of an American Madman
Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day - yesterday was just another yesterday and tomorrow, well who the hell knows! Started the day by rolling over and hitting the snooze bar - always hit snooze three times - do you have rituals that you go through every day - hit the snooze bar three times - left foot out of bed first but right foot must touch floor first - kind of a race but in slow motion - always walk to kitchen first thing to see if coffee is made - love the timer on the coffee machine - I set it so it just finishes brewing (takes 7 minutes 33 seconds ) as I round the corner of the kitchen - clean cup from cupboard and I put two ice cubes in the cup to cool first cup down just a bit so I can drink it quick - no, never three ice cubes, that would be just silly - stand at kitchen window and watch the back yard - winter time it is dark but I still look out - slog down coffee than refill and head for rest of morning rituals, shower, etc. - today was good day at work - nothing stands out as memorable - came home, had some chicken and salad and then went and helped with some home remodeling - I am not all that handy with most stuff - but I can cut wood and nail it up - my specialty is lawn mowing - of course, if you think about it all you really do with lawn mowing is walk behind the machine and try not to get hurt by the high speed blade - I haven't been hurt yet, so that is a plus, I guess - watering, I do OK at watering - the rest of the stuff not so much - well maybe painting, but not really very patient with that - what was the news today? - oh I see someone killed a wolf - one lost child was returned by mother that kidnapped him - what else? - stock market off - boy I need to read a paper or watch the news once in awhile - maybe tomorrow - and that is that - don't stay up too late - what is too late? OK, bye!
