I Love Calf.

With all the restrictive gun laws and hippies running around out there how could this happen? I thought schools were a gun free and drug free zone by LAW. . . This just found off CNN

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Authorities have arrested nearly 100 people and seized guns and drugs in a sting operation at San Diego State University in California, the Drug Enforcement Administration said Tuesday.

Among those arrested were 75 students, some of them working toward criminal justice or homeland security degrees. One criminal justice major was charged with possession of guns and cocaine, authorities said.

Useless Gun Laws

Glad all those gun laws that disarmed the English are working out for them. . .

LONDON (AFP) - Police sealed off an area of west London on Tuesday after armed officers were called to reports of gunshots and were fired at, Scotland Yard said.

Sky News television reported that a siege situation was underway, and a police spokeswoman confirmed that no arrests were immediately made after the incident off King's Road in west London.

Ya, sounds like disarming everyone is working out fine. . . .

Crossing Guards

Only in Massachusetts. . . On the way in today I noticed that the crossing guard near work has a rather easy job. Seems that what she does is push the button on the traffic light poll by the crosswalk to change the light to red. She then walks out to stop traffic.

Can someone tell me why this town is paying her to do this? The kids can not push the walk button like everyone else and wait for the walk sign? Cars don’t stop for the red light?

I have never seen anyone run this light at other times of the day, why would they do it in the morning? Just because kids are there they are going to run the light????

More government waste . . . glad I don’t live in this town, it would bug me to think my taxes are paying for this

Voting today

Well here we go again. The news is still saying this may decide the nominee for the Dems. Not sure how they can say that when it is going to be another close vote and they divide the delegates based on percent. I guess it is just more of the news folks making noise and not worrying about the facts. Should be interesting to see who wins these two but don't think this will change anything. These two are going to fight it out right through the convention.

With any luck the party will self destruct over this and rebuild itself into something that actually does represent the people then it can win the next time around because the Republicans sure as hell don't listen to the voters either. I think whichever side gets back to listening to mainstream America will start to win elections by landslides but that would mean they have to give up their extreme views on either side and stop messing with our rights. . .

Someday it may happen. . . .

Moonlight

Is Moonlight a goner?

This weeks episode ended with the comment that there are only two shows left. . . Do they mean for the season or forever? Has anyone heard if it got renewed for next year? This is a great show that has some nice twists in it. I hope it has not become the latest victim of dumbing down the TV. I swear with each show they kill I get more free time because the replacements are not worth my time. I figure in a few years I won’t really need a TV for much other than a few cable channels.

Jack is walking

Well it had to happen, he is up and walking. Only a few steps at a time but he his mobile. Now he can get into all sorts of stuff, and when you say no he just smiles at you and laughs. . . you have to go get him and pick him up if you want him to stop. Lots of fun now that the TV buttons are in reach. I have to get some clear plastic to block them from him soon.

Pictures to come

Fear of Acting?

Is there such a thing as a acting phobia? While doing some more research on the Masons to see if I made the right choice not joining I came across one of their web sites that talks about how they teach with plays and for each degree you earn on your way to becoming a Master Mason you do a play. That about finished things for me right there – I hate acting in any way shape or form. I don’t even like to do the role playing we use to do in Karate class for self defense scenarios.

I find this weird as I don’t have a problem getting up in front of the class to do a kata for Karate, or teach something. I also have no problems at work getting up to teach or run a meeting. Meet customers and run a training class – no problems. . . . .

But for as long as I can remember I never wanted to act. I avoided it in Boy Scouts around the campfire, I avoided it at school. . . . weird. . . maybe it is something to do with not interacting with the audience like you do when teaching or having a meeting. . . I don’t know but the shrink side of me finds it interesting . . .

Michelle Obama just don't know when to shut up. . . .

Michel Obama wants us to forget about Reverend Wright. Seems she is upset we are all taking about this racist piece of SH*( and wants us to stop. I don’t suppose that has anything to do with the fact that it is politically killing him. . . .

Now if the good Reverend was hurting him I don’t think she is the one I would put out front to fix it. She has made her own racist remarks and done damage of her own. Putting her out there to fix this is not much better than giving a drowning man a glass of water. . . . I just hope she does not finish him off before he gets the nomination – He will be much easier to beat than Hillary in November.

Deep Thoughts

It has been an interesting few days for me as I try to work through whether or not I want to try to join the Masons with a friend of mine. He is really hot on this and we went to a few open houses to meet them and see what they had to say. He is going to do it but I think after much debate with myself that it is not for me. I just don’t know enough about them and I am not a trusting soul by nature. This has bugged me a lot as it sounds like a great bunch of guys and all but I just don’t think I have the time to invest in it and with my uncertainty about them my gut says I have better things to do with my time.

As it is now I don’t seem to be able to get enough time in the day to even work on my models which I love to do. Add to that the family and kids that I want to be around and my time on the Martial arts from Karate to shooting and I just can’t bring myself to do it.

I am not sure if this is one of those things that I am going to look back on and regret since my grandfather was a Mason, but he never said anything about it to me and he died when I was 13 so I didn’t really know to ask him either.

I don’t know, I guess I am just rather conflicted about it as I have a lot on my mind at the moment and this has been a hard one to pick a side on. On the good side now that I have made a choice on this I have started to see where I need to go on a few other issues that have been bugging me so I guess that is a good thing. Now to get on to the next issue, finding a job nearer to home where I can actually do some good. Anyone know of a company that needs a good Quality/New Product Introduction Engineer please let me know. . . I like where I am at but the raises this year after we grew by 22% showed me that there is no future here especially with everything else in the world costing more money and my raise barely covered the increase in gas spending just to get to work. . . On the good side I do like the folks I work with so I am in no rush, I have time to find something good, but I need to get started. Now if I could just get a few of the things around the house done on my to do list I would actually feel like I was making some progress. . . .

Immigration Day

Happy Immigration Day!

To celebrate I think we should all do two things -

1 - Thank an immigrant that came here legally for helping to grow our country

2 - drop a dime on an illegal and help run them out of here. . .

Folks immigration is what has made this country great, but we need to get rid of the illegals for many reasons but the biggest is if the boarders are that open that an uneducated illegal can get in, imagin how easy it is for someone planning to hurt us like Al Qaida wants to. . .
