Respite

So, we took the trip to Morro Bay. My wife and I had a great time. The sea breeze!!! The salt air!!!! Water!! Fish!! We ate at a great restaurant called The Great American Fish Company. The food was terrific. We couldn't finish all of it. Of course, there was a fly in the ointment. Unfortunately, it was all my fault. I selected what is probably the worst hotel in the United States for our evening rest. I have stayed in a vast array of overnight accomodations, world-wide. Tents, nepa huts, grass shacks, the list is endless. I have never, however, stay in a crumbier dump than the "Best Value Inn" in Morro bay. The room cost 200 bucks. It was smaller than my bedroom at home. The "bathroom" was smaller than my closet. The bed was an army surplus number that was lumpy and too hard at the same time. It did occur to me to reteat to my car, which is as big as that room and a lot more comfy. Oh well, live and learn as they say. We're going back to Morro Bay soon, but the "Best Value Inn" will not be on our itenerary.

Does anyone give a rats ass about Terrel Owens and his little tantrum? He signed the original contract, he should have to live with it. Sports stars are becoming famous for "holding out" to renegotiate their contracts. I think the team owners should stop renegotiating completely. T.O. got 16 million in cash on his current contract. He says he "must look after his family". Well boo hoo hoo. For 16 million, I could look out for everybody I ever met. Suck it up and act like a man, T.O. Nobody likes a cry baby.
Preseason football has started. Thank God!!! It is a long dry spell between the super bowl and preseason football.

It rained on me!! Here it is, August in the San Joaquin valley and it rained on me!!! I believe this is the result of global cooling brought about by the environmental nitwits insistence on reducing greenhouse gasses. "Global warming"? What a farce. How do we get talked in to these screwball notions? The Delano weather report? It sucks!!

Speaking of screwball ideas, most of the country has been talked into the concept of "neat garbage"!! About 3 times a week some dinky city employee makes his rounds checking to make sure our garbage is in order. Isn't "neat garbage" the ultimate oxymoron? How is it that the city can pay people to snoop through our trash, but they can't seem to mount a really decent offensive against drug dealers and other low-lifes? YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK!!!

I am getting the urge, once again, to sell out here in California and move to the Pacific Northwest. I'll be taking a really serious look at that in another month or so. If I'm going to be wet and cold, it may as well be next to a fishin' hole. The beat goes on.

wasted space

1. Thank God the WNBA season has only 7 or 8 games left. Maybe it'll be replaced by something worthwhile, like bull frog jumping or cow pie hurling.
2. Attention sportscasters!!! Gluttony is not a sport. Does anybody really give a rats ass about how many hotdogs some moron can stuff in his face? I think not.
3. Why have "reality" shows invaded our sports channels? Surely there must be a ball game of some kind, somewhere.
4. Once again, there is a hue and cry for some semblance of order in the boxing industry. I believe it is a waste of time because of under-the-table pay offs and general corruption.

On a lighter note, the football season has started at last with several pre-season games having already been played. I can hardly wait for the full season to start.

My wife and I are headed for the coast this weekend. It will be a welcome break from the tedium of life in Delano. Maybe I'll catch a clam!!

The Natalie case slogs on through the quagmire of Carribean justice. The authorities already know who the main perps are. 2 out of 3 of them are running free.

My opinion is that the borders in Iraq bounded by Iran on the east and Syria on the west would be a great place for nuclear weapons testing. Our southern border with Mexico would be a great place to practice Army manuevers

Now for the Delano weather report: It's great! Every day it is between 95 and 110. At night the temperature plummets down to 75 or so. Perfect!!

The dumocraps are trying to populate our libraries with Spanish language books. Have you ever wondered if the liberals are Americans? Maybe they are collaboraters in a world wide conspiracy to defeat our precious country. I believe in healthy debate on policy, money, etc., but I don't believe in smear campaigns or out and out lying about the things I don't like. Attention liberals!! Stop supporting subversive outfits like the aclu. Stop lying about everything the Bush administration is trying to do. Dump Teddy-the-autoswimmer Kennedy and that moron Howard Dean. Give up on your obstructionist ploys during appointment procedures. You are NOT entitled to priveleged information from the White House.

Are you aware that ALL your financial information is routed through India?
