I have been sick and my thoughts have been wandering. But I thought this morning I could clear out enough cobwebs to to put down some of the random thoguhts down that have wandered through in the last few days.
Thanksgiving was great. My daughter and all three of my grandkids home.
Josh took the 16 year old out with a drivers permit. both survived.
The 4 yr old is going to be a computer geek, all he wanted was control of the PC.
The 2 yr old thought the sun rose and set on Josh, followed him everywhere. At one point Josh stepped out for a smoke ...the 2 yr old didn't find him...but I found the 2 yr old outside with his pants down to his knees. He evidently figured he needed to mark his spot, and he has never even read one of Joshs' peeing off the porch blogs. LOL What a trip that is going to be when they come up to the mountain without moms supervision. sheeesh.
Had a strange wake up call Thanksgiving night about a quarter to ten. 4 huge "booms" about 5 to 7 minutes apart. The first one sounded like it came from a bit of a distance, I listened ...no sirens...of course we are a ways out here so I kept listening, nothing. Then the next one, it rattled the windows. I woke up Josh and we put on the scanner and the shortwave, nothing. then came the third, and a few minutes later the fourth.
Had to be sonic booms. We aren't on the flight path for any airports that would fly the kind of plane that could break the sound barrier. Maybe the cold war isn't so cold.
The sun came out yesterday and all the new snow on the mountain glistened, it was spectacular. Was even able to let the woodstove go out.
There were 10 deer in the front yard all day yesterday. At one point a couple were grazing real close to the shop, I kept looking out the window thinking..."Go ahead 5 more feet closer to the door and we can have you hanging in ten minutes". Venison for Christmas dinner. mmmmm
Wal-mart shoppers trample someone to death..there were a few jokes made but ya know them people deserve all the crude jokes they get. Sons of bitches, bunch of flippin pigs, step over a dying man to go shop. then not want to leave the store because they been standing in line so long. How many days do you figure that person has stood greeting assholes just to eeck out a living? Assholes who don't give anymore of a shit then to step over his trampled body for commercialism.
The terrosrists attack in India. Radical Islamists. One thing that we don't much comprehend is they fight for something, they fight for their God. We are never going to win a war against them unless we pull our proverbial heads out of our proverbial asses and stand for something besides the all mighty dollar.
Spend as much as you want, as much as you think is needed. Just don't let our visa cards get taken away. Hell we will trample someone to death, have a gun fight at Toys R Us, just to keep the spirit of commercialism alive. pfffffft
I heard an interesting take on the Obama campaign this weekend. The guy said that they ran him with no specifics for change because that way he could be a blank slate, and everyone could paint their own picture of what was needed. That way he could be all things to all people. I am seeing an awful lot of Clinton, advisors getting appointed....more globalizarion coming. Fewer jobs more dependance on the government.
Get out of Iraq anytime soon? Not likely, the new security pact puts us there at least another three years, under Iraqi supervision...and can't deploy to Afghanistan from Iraq, hell before you know it we will having a huge army surplus sale. The middle east will be reallywell armed.
Oh well I got the fire going and the coffee pot is perking away, I picked up the house last night before dosing out on nyquil and thera flu, I am curling up on the couch and waiting for the sun to come up.
