Happy Birthday Dad!

I love you man

B.O.U.R.Girl was nearly spilled off of the stairs landing when the step gave out. Geeeezus. Luckily no bodily harm, just the crushed board. No termites but an inspection revealed under sized nails that weren’t up to the architect’s specs. So that was the big project of the day. R & R the entire staircase. No more sagging, misalignment or squeaking. And no law suits neither.

Animal choreography. Puhleez, not another frisbee exhibition… No, time for something completely different ::: line dancing.

A new name, new philosophy, and a whole new set of wings…

This may be an elaborate ‘send the paparazzi on a wild decoy chase’ but on the other hand you can’t pick a new airline name without first insuring that the domain name is available for your website. This is where the tickets will be sold. No minor detail. Let’s hope that Mr. or Mrs. America can spell it! independanceair.com

The new one was delivered this afternoon. The old appliance, after 24 years, was still good — except for the rocking kick required to restore it to life when it would overheat and auto shutdown. Two big delivery guys balanced the machine between them on a 2 1/2 inch woven strap. Stairs? No object. I asked, how many deliverys do they make in a days work and was told up to 20. That’s only because of the limited light in a day but I think they must get wore out first.

If bunnies don’t lay eggs why is it on Easter that we recieve eggs from the Easter Bunny?

If you’re caught “between a rock and a hard place”, is the rock not hard?

Where did hamsters live before we put them in cages as a pet?

Why do they put “for indoor or outdoor use only” on christmas lights?

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp which no decent human being would eat?

knee defender, for the frequent flier.
airport safe shoes.
it’s a jungle out there…

Watching the History Channel on Battleships and the launching of these new goliaths down the ways. A politician / dignitary is present to do the christening. More accurately, the honors are usually bestowed on the wife. I was struck by something. She swings the champagne bottle across the iron plated bow and — nothing happens! The bottle survives! She stands there in stunned disbelief. The officials gasp. Well, the mighty ship is leaving without waiting and it’s bad luck to fail so the manly man quickly grabs the thing and finishes the job. I can’t imagine anything more awful then having the world witness this spectacular failure not to mention that the cameras have just archived the embarrassment for posterity. Did these women just shrug the whole thing off or were they flaming mad at whomever (set them up) with the invitation to be “honored”. It seems so strange that such engineering expertise goes into the design and construction just to leave the importance of such a grand moment to chance. Perhaps it is okay. A generation ago maybe it was alright to be lady like and not smash the thing to smithereens. No shame at all. What were they thinking?

Happy Birthday Mom!
