Dog Bites Shark
I don’t know if it would turn out this way every time, another day and it might be the shark biting the dog. From HERE.
Chicky Love!
I heard a big old chicken ruckus and ran outside to see what was going on, just in time to see a chicken fly up into a tree to escape a rooster. It inspired me to write a romantic love po-eem
Who says chickens cannot fly?
She jumped up there, pretty high
Chicken chicken, in your tree,
there’s a rooster under Ye!
Rooster rooster, you’re in luck!
When she comes down, you’ll get to f * * k!
You may now shower me with compliments about my deep romantical nature and my wonderful poetic ability!
Our First Geocache
Geocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using GPS-enabled devices and then share their experiences online. The fun is in the find. You go to the website, (create a free account if you haven’t already) enter the coordinates to your GPS, find the cache, write in the logbook, take something, leave something and hide the cache again, exactly as you found it. When you get home, don’t forget to record your find (or did not find) on the website.
Also, for you Mommies and Daddies, there is an article HERE which states kids like Geocaching and it can help you get them out from in front of the TV, computer or video game and outdoors.

Below is a video entitled Geocaching in Two Minutes. Watch it and you’ll save me a whole lotta typing.Last week, I walked back into the woods behind our house. I found a hollow round rock like half a walnut shell the size of a basketball. Perfect for hiding something under. It screamed GEOCACHE ROCK! to me.
So The Wife and I got our GPS out and hid our first geocache (under the cool rock we found) near our house. We marked the precise coordinates from the GPS and put it on the Geocache website.
(You don’t have to hide a geocache to go find them, just FYI, I’ve been finding them for years and this is the first I’ve hidden).
HERE is ours, have a look. So far, two groups of people have come and found it.
Also, look at the home page, I am sure you’ll be surprised how close the nearest geocache is to you!!!!

Freeky Deeky!
Thursday. my last week of freedom is flying by fast.
Today I have to mow the yard, you can barely see the house from the street.
Last night I was very tired and went to bed early. Then I woke up at 3AM. Since I got the Kindle, I’ve been staying up till midnight, and sleeping through till 5 or 6. Last night I got up for a while, and then went back to bed.
I had a weird dream, the planet was covered in garbage. Broken splintered scrap wood, old barb-e-cue grills, washers and dryers and refrigerators, wrecked cars. All kinds of junk. About three feet deep. And wall to wall traffic. There was so much junk that when people drove their cars they had to bulldoze through the stuff. Everybody was driving a car, and they were bumper to bumper everywhere, trying to get through.
I was cleaning the junk out of my yard, and all of a sudden I heard a car horn, I turned around and it was a sweet little old man and a sweet little old lady, scowls on their faces, both flipping me the bird, bearing down on me, first in a line of honking cars. They were offended I got in their way and slowed their progress. Nevermind the fact that they were in my yard. Because I cleaned the yard, the drivers saw a clear path and started driving through my yard in an endless stream, bulldozing the mess back.
Freeky Deeky!

Bad Mood
I woke up this morning after having bad dreams. Coffee tastes like shit, because we ran out of coffee, and I have a pot made of mixed brands.
Maybe I shouldn’t even post anything today, because I feel so negative.
I am not at peace, I am in conflict. I have advertising coming up for my business. At the same time, I feel my business isn’t solid enough and I am starting a new job on Monday. After I start the new job, I won’t have time for the business.
If I made a choice, take the new job and stop the business, or don’t take the new job and push the business, (like pushing a car with four flat tires), I’d be fine, but I am not fine, I am split down the middle.
I feel like I can’t see the truth inside myself.
And I’m angry. I want to know what to do.

Swimming Elephant
The other day I saw the perfect swimming elephant. By the time I ran and got my camera, his trunk had dissolved a little, but still I think it’s pretty good!

Amazon Kindle
For my birthday my wife got me an Amazon Kindle. I really like it. The Kindle is exactly like reading from paper. On computers, I have found that it it seems more difficult to get the information off the screen and into my head if I am reading a long book or manual. I have always printed the item if possible. The Kindles Electronic paper is exactly like reading from paper.
The Wife really fooled me good this year too. She had all this story about how Amazon is sending it to the Florida office, and then it’s going to be put on the container, Probably be here next Thursday….. yada yada yada…. ( I knew she was going to get it because she asked if I wanted one, I had actually been dreaming about it since then!
Then last Friday she says that she got me another little something, because the Kindle isn’t going to be here on time. SO she brings out this cigar box sized gift-wrapped box in a cigar shop bag. I’m thinkin’ “great cigars!!”.
And I open the box and it was the Kindle. I haven’t slept since. Back in the olden days, even before I was 10, I was constantly reading. I can’t even tell you what decade that habit began to fade, I have always read, but it has been somewhat less in recent years.
Also, ya know what? I think the books will last a lot longer on the Kindle. A lot of novels these days are engineered to fall apart, have you ever noticed? You read the book once, fine, but you read it again and the pages start to fall out. Ever notice that?
People are going to say, “if you like the Kindle, you should try the iPad or the Android!” You know what? iPads don’t impress me, My Palm Pilot of 15 years ago could do everything the iPad can. Plus the others have that same computer screen, the one that I find difficult to absorb information form.
Nope, the Kindle is exactly what I wanted, and I like it more now that I have it. Thank you Baby!

Sunday Morning Close Ups
Jews and Muslims
I received this yesterday for the second time, and since I was looking for it and couldn’t find it after the first time, I thought I would post it here.
Something to Consider:
The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez and published in a Spanish newspaper on Jan. 15, 2008. It doesn’t take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of Europe – and possibly to the rest of the world. REMEMBER AS YOU READ — IT WAS IN A SPANISH PAPER

ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ
By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez
I walked down the street in Barcelona , and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz … We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world. The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned. And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride. They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts. And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition. We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs. What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe ..

The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims. The Jews don’t hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew who has destroyed a church. There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people.The Jews don’t traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
Perhaps the world’s Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.Muslims must ask ‘what can they do for humankind’ before they demand that humankind respects them.
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel ‘s part, the following two sentences really say it all:“If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel .”Benjamin Netanyahu
It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead. He did this because he said in words to this effect: ‘Get it all on record now – get the films – get the witnesses – because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened’
Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it ‘offends’ the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were ‘murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated’ while many people looked the other way.
Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.
How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center ‘NEVER HAPPENED’ because it offends some Muslim in the United States ?
