Ramblings of an American Madman

Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day - what am I saying? It was a great day in the greatest corner of America because you know America is square and we are in the corner down by the bottom - or is it the side - get those shapes confused - and never did understand the foot and meter thing anyway - just a matter of time anyway until our whole system of government is metric - we will be working for pesos and Euros, you watch - that is what happens when your country has corners - it was a nice day though! Yes, still October of the year 2000 plus nine - see how I did that? Ok ok ok...
Started the day in a fair part of the country, with some pine trees and mountains - lovingly referred to as the cabin by the lake - lovingly because we all love being there just don't get there often enough - the day was a little rough though because I was roughing it by drinking a popular store brand of already ground coffee - miss my beans - but I lived to tell the tale and am a better person for the experience - like they always say "If it didn't kill you, it will make you smarter!" or maybe it's "stronger", maybe it is "smarter" - because as you can tell I am smarter - and who are "they?" - I think it is a committee of really smart people that sit around and say things, because I hear it all the time "like they always say!" - well, not all the time, but you know what I mean - right?
Did you hear the big news story today? The family that sent their kid into space in a helium balloon did it for publicity! Or was it that they sent up the balloon and thought the kid was in it? How did the story go? Anyway, I guess it was a stunt. Wasn't it? It was headline news.
Hambone is offended by the term 'swine flu' - he says it has nothing to do with swine and prefers the H1N1 flu designation - Hambone is a sensitive person - very protective of family and friends - if you see Hambone give him a hug - unless you have a cough or flu like symptoms then just wave - H1N1 you know!
