Ramblings of an American Madman

Ramblings of a American Madman - Just another Day - just another day in the life of one guy doing his civil best to save the planet - that's right folks, it is Earth Day and we should all join hands in saving this great planet that we live on - make a righteous effort to clean up what scars we have inflicted on this life sustaining hunk of rock we call home - who the hell am I kidding - I don't even freakin' recycle - yes, my one man recycling company lasted about four days and I got a rash on the inside of my thighs from the cheap ass bicycle seat - I had a flat tire about two miles from my house and a half a bag of soda and beer cans worth about 75 cents and I said screw this, threw the bag of cans in someones back yard and called for a ride home - freakin' recycling is hard - anyway, happy Earth Day!

Started the day on a set routine - dragging my sorry self out of bed with only minutes to spare - hoping the second hand coffee maker from Goodwill fires up - don't be a Goodwill hater, I have bought some very nice plastic dishes from there that have lasted years - they knew how to make plastic dishes in the 50's and 60's - the coffee maker did not fail me this morning and I was treated to 12 cups of the most beautiful liquid this side of mercury and not quite as toxic - although I make some pretty strong coffee it has never caused any environmental disasters that I am aware of - sure as hell gets you going but is earth friendly, keeping the thread of Earth Day going - work was good - evening was delightful - nice little walk in the wind - just an all around good day for people and the Earth.

There will be no news reported here today - I have no good reason for reporting anything new and besides I have nothing new to report - don't you wish that some newscaster would come on the air and say "Sorry folks but there is just not a damn thing going on that is of any interest today and I am not going to fill up air time with stupid ass stories that no one cares about anyway, so for the next thirty minutes let's listen to some classic rock and roll and chill out!" Now that would be a newscast - or a non newscast - anyway, I have no news today.

Hambone is back working again - his old boss from the dairy farm needed someone to drive a truck for a few days - not sure what kind of truck or what he is actually doing but he didn't get off to a great start - his first day he slept in, said his alarm clock didn't go off - actually Hambone hasn't had an alarm clock for years but he didn't want to tell his boss that he got drunk the night before and lost his boot and it took him awhile to find it and that is why he was late - Big Larry and Hambone seem to have a problem with losing footwear and alcohol - the next night Hambone slept with his boots on so as not to be late for work.

I have been obsessed with rain gutters lately. Need to keep them cleaned. Need to have a rain gutter where there is no rain gutter now. Strategically plan where the water from the gutter will go. I have been thinking too much of rain gutters lately.

Wow, dig that crazy monkey dancing with that whacked out cat - Bye froth Bye!
