• Have you ever sat in a room surrounded by professionals before and wonder how they ever received a college degree?
  
• How you ever stopped to think that those who created No Child Left Behind probably were not educators nor have children in the public school system?
• Have you ever wondered where your pet has been before he/she proceeds to lick your face?
• Have you ever heard someone say, "Well since there is no one really qualified to do the job, I'm going to support my party."?

1. A police officer was blocking one lane of traffic due to the fact
that he was escorting a cow.
2. A child with roller skate shoes was terrorizing his little sister
at a local store by skating past and slugging her. Parents made half-
hearted attempts to stop his behavior but to no avail. During the last
pass, he gave his sister a whack, and then plowed into a display
causing a horrendous mess.
3. A mother berating her son for belching loudly at a burger
establishment ended her sermon by passing gas loudly. This pucntuating
commentary nullified the lesson.
4. A tailgating - I'm more important than you - swerved sharply into a
non-lane to pass a law-abiding driver. The idiot promptly met a series
of sand-filled bright yellow trashcans.
5. A reckless youth who wanted to show off for his girlfriend was
demonstrating his amazing ability to stand on the bottom rack and
levitate the front wheels. His amazing stunt came to an abrupt end
when physics caught up with him causing the cart to flip up, collide
with his face, and land on top of the daredevil.

With me being able to see such things, who needs television?

I really love to sit and create just, for the lack of a better word,
stuff. Especially behind the screen of my black iron horse. While that
will not come as a surprise to anyone, I still would like to elaborate
on what I mean...

I was just playing around with my graphics editor and doing just that,
playing. I delighted at taking simple shapes and turning them into
designs, turtles and even a cheesy building of some sort. For a while
there I did not have a purpose, I just tooled around like a kid with
his first set of Tinkertoys.

Then I surfed the net to visit museums, song lyrics, and to catch up
on my blog reading. I then used google earth to visit the pyramids,
Versailles, and the Taj - to name a few. Then I logged into my WoW
account to take on Orcs, wolves and a whole dungeon of evil clerics...

When I had finally exhusted myself, the only thought that occurred to
me was that to accomplish nothing is very important part of daily
living and should be enjoyed with gusto...

Yes, I'm a geek and damn proud.

I received a phone call earlier today to let me know that a teacher that I have known for several years had taken her own life over the weekend. I have debated over and over whether to talk about this and came to the conclusion that I should ask my small audience to pray for her and her family.

The race that has been going on for about two years already is getting
closer to becoming the two horse race that we all love to talk about.
The jaws are flapping at warp factor ten about who is going to take
the next primary. Vegas is going full steam handicapping each of the
candidates. Even the small states are licking their chops realizing
that they have the chance of playing with the bigger states for once.

I've heard people say that they are so impressed with the speaking
abilities of the candidates. This worries me only because I know full
well what they are using as a litmus test. Many analogies have come to
mind of the genera "That's like comparing _______ to ________." For
now, I will pass it up.

Suffice to say that if that is the basis for choosing a candidate, we
are in a whole lot of trouble.

At the San Francisco Zoo, 3 youngsters were under the influence of
alcohol and 2 of them began to dangle their legs over a barrier at the
big cat exhibit. They also were throwing objects at the big cat and
were surprised when the cat cleared the barrier. The two instigators
survived the attack while the one who was not part of the proving was
killed.

Being a cat owner even I know what will happen if I rile his feral
instincts.

A local man caught on fire while pumping gas. He was smoking at the
time. I'm not the brightest bulb in the box, but flame+fuel=explosion.

It makes me wonder what would happen if another species observed us
what their conclusion would be.
