Bug out!!

There I sat enjoying my breakfast (a glass of tomato juice) when I detected some movement on the wall. I got up to inspect it and found that thousands of tiny vermin had invaded my home. ANTS!!! We have some definite ant problems in this valley. As soon as the good weather goes away, we are besieged by ants. Once they are in the house, it is impossible to evict them. We must wait for summer. Thank God winter is only 2 or 3 months long. I think next summer I will expend some serious money and time to see if I can bump all the little bastards off before the chill of winter sets in again.

Winter in the San Joaquin valley sucks!! We have lots of rain, fog and low, low temperatures. Even in the daytime our temperature often doesn't exceed 60 degrees. It is too cold to swim. Too cold to exercise outdoors. Too cold for anything useful. Luckily, I am an excellent couch potato, so I can hide inside all winter if need be.

98%. That is the number of people in a recent O'Reilly poll who think the young marine who shot the terrorist while being taped should be left alone. No court marshal. Maybe they should decorate him for doing exactly the right thing at exactly the right time. A couple of days later, one of his fellow marines was killed in a situation just like the one that got him into trouble. Don't those moralist jerks know what war means? One thing it means is bumping off anyone who might be a threat to you or your comrades. Only two days before this incident, this marine was shot in the face by a terrorist. It's a wonder he didn't kill everybody in that miserable town. I would have. The military claims that they are all for embedded journalists. I think it is a big mistake to have a group of morons with cameras galloping about the battlefield.

I couldn't believe that my Raiders knocked off the Broncos. I bet the Broncos can't believe it either. The University of Washington is looking for a new coach. Back in the good old days when Don James was the coach, UW was a rough, tough group who could play with anyone. This new guy, like the idiot at Nebraska, has installed a "finesse" offense. It does not work! Once again, for clarity, it does not work!! Both of these coaches will be down the road kickin' cans next year. Maybe they could cross-train into ballet teachers.

Only 3 1/2 weeks to Christmas. Bend over.
