It's Over!!

Yea, the cold weather has finally left the wretched valley. As I type this it is 90 degrees outside. Ah, relief at last. The only thing wrong with it is that I don't get to bitch about the weather until October or November. Oh well, I'll make that sacrifice. Temperatures nearing 100 are forecast for next week. Hooray!!

As I predicted last year, A Rod has come out of his slump and is tearing up the league.(good) And, the yankees are in last place!! Does it get any better? I think not. What are al those sniveling New York sissies going to say about their traitorous actions of last year? Well, they won't say anything. They probably don't even have the balls to admit they were wrong. Such is New York. My boy, Barry Bonds continues his headlong rush into history.When he breaks the record, what will all those idiots who have convicted him without a trial say?
My favorite basketball teams are all getting their asses waxed. Who'da thunk it? I thought that Shaq and the boys would do it again, but now I'm not so sure.

We continue to creep along the road to Las Vegas with all the alacrity of a snail with polio. I can't wait to get there. I had thought I could spend my next birthday (#95) there, but it doesn't look like we'll make it. I do have plan "b". If it works, I'll let you know. If it doesn't, mums the word.

As I grow older, it becomes more and more apparent that the 'golden' years suck. I'm really glad I did all that really fun stuff while I was young. If I did any of it now, I'd be dead in two days. I have a really fun day scheduled for May 16. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Good news!! Tomorrow I win the lottery!! 35M. I will then disappear from the normal life and shift directly into 'rich idiot.' It'll be great I am already getting ready to order some new cars (yea cars),a boat and large, snooty house. Upgrades all around!! Oh the joy!! uuhh, excuse me I got a little carried away there. It doesn't take much to amuse me these days.

And so it goes.

extortion

Yes, folks, once again it is national extortion day. This is the day when our wonderful government admits that they just can't function without robbing the citizens. TAX TIME!!! What happened to the fair tax movements? Well, the government just sat back and did nothing(as usual) and it just died out (as usual). And, if you think you were being mugged last year, wait until Pelosi and her gang of communists get done raping our wallets this year. All we need then is a dumocrap president and we can all get our cardboard boxes and go live on the street. Speaking of Pelosi, is there any reason she should not be in jail for breaking federal laws governing who sets foreign policy for this country? I guess if Hanoi Jane can get away with it, Pelosi the communist can too.

Tiger got beat by an unknown in a major!!! His play was absolutely abominable (for him) so he only finished second! How can he go on? Of course, all the bubble headed sportscasters have castigated him, declaring him finished. Beeeeg mistake!! He will win at least two majors this year, possibly three.
My buddy in N.C. continues to slay the striped bass. He is one of those,'give a damn what the weather is' types, so rain and cold don't seem to bother him much. I guess he is successful because he is willing to brave the elements.

Once again the weather here has turned sour. daytime temps in the mid to high 60s. BOOOO I thought that spring was upon us, but this more closely resembles winter. It is raining. The wind is blowing. Once again, Delano flunks the weather test.

My wife has volunteered to stay in this wretched little sink-hole and clean up the house so we can sell it. I have volunteered to go to Las Vegas and pout. HAH! I am continuously amazed at the rising price of real estate. Wow!

I've been blabbing long enough. Time for breakfast. Ham and cheese omelet. MMM MMM
And so it goes.

The Tiger and the Twerps

OK, let's stop pretending that anyone is going to mount a serious challenge to the magnificence of Tiger Woods. Several of the lick-spittles have tried and all have fallen short. The thing that is most scary about Tiger is that even when he's not playing very well(for him) he's still head and shoulders above the pack. I believe that he is capable of winning every tournament he's in and will win most of them. He is the only reason I watch golf on TV. Those of you who are golfers know how difficult it is to perform the way he does, and yet he makes it seem easy.

On a sad note, I have not won the lottery yet. It pisses me off to see undeserving morons march of with my millions week after week. Oh well, I'm stupid enough to keep trying. After all, if you don't enter, your chances of winning are zero.

We are getting closer to selling this house. One day, my blog will read "Viva Las Vegas". You will know then that I have escaped the communist state of kalifornia. I am hopeful that there will be some hunting opportunities for geezers in Nevada. I know the fishing in Lake Mead is good. Maybe I'll buy another house boat. I need to teach my grandchildren to shoot before I get too feeble.

Only four more months until preseason football starts. I can't wait. I'm tired of tennis. I don't like hockey or soccer. I'm still mad at baseball. It is damned hard being a curmudgeon.

I wonder if the Las Vegas give comps to geezers. I'll have to check that out. Vegas is just south of Area 51. Maybe I can finagle a ride on a flying saucer. YEEEEHAAAWW!!! I do have major navigation problems in Vegas. Probably comes from living in a dinky town for 20 years. I'm getting too old to drive anyway. My grandkids can haul my fat ass around.

The weather is getting alittle better here. It was 83 today. Tolerable. Delano gets a "C" for weather this time.

I guess that there is no more to heap praise or scorn upon. An altogether so-so blog. So it goes.

Californication

There is a minor indication that we may have an offer on this house. That would mean we could move to Las Vegas much sooner than I thought possible. My wifey has started getting offers on assorted items (pool table, furniture, etc.) so maybe she's actually serious this time. Finding a house in our price range in Vegas should be no problem. My real estate spy, Clay, sends me e-mail on a daily basis with housing information. When I have the money clutched in my hot little hands, I'll sail over the mountain and be Californicated no more. Oh blessed day. Oh glorious relief!! Oh, hell, it ain't happened yet. I'll celebrate in sin city.

The other day I sent an e-mail around showing some rapist getting his pee-pee whacked off. A friend of mine wrote me and said he thought that this was the correct punishment for the crime of rape. I thought about that for 3 minutes or so and decided that my friend was right. That way, you don't have to feed some asshole in prison and he can't do it again 'cause he ain't got no pole left. At last, the Moslems got something right.

At last, we have turned on the airconditioner. Months and months of frigid weather appears to be over. The skies are blue again and temps are reaching toward 90. Oh, yesssss.

Our last group of house guests have gone. She left the day after I filed her divorce papers. I don't know whether she went back to the idiot or not. She told me she was going to San Jose, but she left a forwarding address in Palm Springs. Oh well.

I am really looking forward to moving to Las Vegas. It has much to offer. A big lake full of fish. More casinos than anywhere on earth. A great race track. Excellent colleges. But its main selling point is, it ain't in California. If you get the idea that I'm happy, happy about leaving this wretched state, you are 100% right!!

Great days appear to lie ahead. Being the eternal pessimist, I can see several things that could go awry. Maybe, for once, fortune will smile upon me.

And so it goes.

Look!! Its a light!!!

At last, the big red ball has returned to our skies. With daytime temps running into the high 70s, and with the rest of the nation on snow alert, it woould be uncouth of me to suggest that this weather is less than OK. Of course, the temp still plummets down to 45 or so at night, but since I don't go out at night, I don't have to see it. I guess the Delano weather report is, "ho-hum".

My little girl, Robie is freezing her butt off up in Kodiak, Alaska. I called her last night and it was 13 degrees. But, on the brighter side, they say it will warm up to 20 today. hahahaha I told her so.

Another small light in the darkness is that a federal judge has finally sobered up and struck down the total gun ban in Washington, D.C. At least one of those communist dorks can read the second amendment. Most of our national gun laws are almost carbon copies of the laws that were jammed through Germany by the Nazis. Maybe we're starting to get at least a little smart. I'll bet that Schummer and Clinton are crying bitter tears over this victory. Thank you, NRA. Speaking of despicable things, we're not seriously thinking about hillary for president, are we? That would be an even bigger error than electing her husband. Or carter, or johnson. The list of incompetent liberal idiots goes on and on.

March madness is on in NCAA basketball. Somehow, I just can't seem to get excited about it. I don't know why. It just doesn't turn me on. Yes, I'm still whining about football. Can't wait until August.

My buddy in North Carolina has been catching so many spotted weakfish (speckled trout) that he has had to buy another freezer. I wish I could go with him. He just has a ball all the time and he's damn near 70 years old. Drinks heavy. Smokes heavy. He must have come from an excellent gene pool. Am I jealous? Hell yes!!

Oh yeah, it is that time of year when the federal extortionists crawl out from under their rocks and rob everybody. The abolition of the IRS should be everyone's top priority. Let your dead-beat congressmen know how you feel. Try to get those worthless bums to get off their numb butts and do something besides collect and waste your money.

You may be asking if I'm ever happy about anything. The answer is 'yes'. But I'm not going to tell you what it is because then, you would give it to me all the time. That would cheapen the experience and make me unhappy.

And so it goes.

blabbity-blabbity-bleep-bleep

So there I was, babbling away about nothing! I must be getting addicted to this keyboard.

Spring is certainly taking its own sweet time getting started. I'm tired of freezing my ass off. I want 80 or better, and I want it NOW!!! The weather report from the San Joaquin valley is: wretched, miserable, cold.

I am now also hopelessly addicted to Trish Thuy Trang. I can't help it. I've downloaded over 60 of her songs now. They dominate my Limewire space. At least this is a harmless addiction..... I think.....

My daughter has passed on buying my mother's car. She is economically disinclined. After thinking it over, I must agree. If they were in the same town, or even the same state, it would be feasible. I'll bet that car isn't on the market more than a week before it is snapped up by some lucky and probably undeserving dork.

The NFL is in terrible shape. Guys are dying, getting arrested, getting convicted. The rest of us should be glad that these thugs are in the NFL. If turned loose on normal society, it could be chaotic. It is hard to understand how a bunch of lucky s.o.b. s can screw up their lives so completely. It can't be the money. Most of them are millionaires. Maybe they are just rich, rich thugs in semi-captivity. Oh, the injustice!! I'll guarantee, if I had that kind of money, the furtherest thing from my mind would be hanging out with a herd of gangsters. I can think of herds of other things, attired in bikinis, on a warm beach, with beer and shrimp cocktails to hang out with.

As baseball season approaches, once again the media are on Barry Bonds tail. Hey, you dumb asses, hop off. He has escaped. He has outwitted and out lawyered you. Get over it.

Fishing has become a big money sport. We used to do it for fun and to harvest some fillets. Now, good bassboats are going for 40 grand. I guess the good old days are dead, dead, dead. If I get moblie again, I might get another boat, but you can bet it won't cost 40 large, or even 10 large.

My computer has been making strange noises at intermittant intervals. It may be about to give up. I hope it doesn't 'cause I ain't got the bucks for another one that will outperform it. C'mon lottery!!

I have finally run out of wind. Thank God.

And so it goes.

The beat goes on

I can't believe I'm writing another blog entry. I must be infected with some sort of horrible blabber-mouth virus, contracted, no doubt, from some female. Oh well, I guess I may as well press on.

I see that the most wretched woman in the United States is running for the democratic nomination for president. It is hard to believe that the American people would be stupid enough to even remotely consider this miserable bitch for anything in the public realm. However, I remember they elected her husband, the most immoral man to ever live in the White House twice. And, the people of New York, never known for political astuteness, elected her senator along with another real pile of trash, Charlie Schumer. God, I hate politics. I hate politicians. Our judiciary sucks. We are headed for some really tough times. Damn, now I'm depressed.

My daughter is trying to buy my mother's car. It is a hell of a deal. I hope she is successful. It is well past the time when mother should have gotten rid of it. I am happy she has decided to sell it.

The weather here is still cold. Temperatures have been rising into the mid sixties. Spring is coming, but it ain't sprung yet. As I write this, it is 37 degrees outside. booo....Another bad weather rating.

We are plodding on toward our moving date. What is that date, you say? Well, we don't know. We seem to be progressing with all the velocity of a snail on crutches. I am having as hard time trying to motivate dear wifey. This was her idea, one of the few good ones she's ever had. Am I fearful that she'll read this and exact some form of female punishment upon me? NO!! She does not compute.

Speaking of my rib, she has already started her garden. She does this every year as soon as she is confident that there will be no more frost. It seems to work for her. She grows some great garden stuff.

The sun is now attempting to peek over the mountains to the east. That means it'll be warmer soon. I said warmer, not warm. The high today is supposed to be 67. We just can't seem to make it to 70.

Weekends are now sad remnants of what they were just a month ago. Football season is gone. Rats!! Now we must wait until preseason in August. Baseball is coming soon, but it just doesn't have the impact of football. I haven't been much of a baseball fan since the strike that wiped out the world series many years ago.
Tiger still stalks the fairways spreading terror in the ranks of the pretenders. This guy is like superman. Any tournament her enters makes him the automatic favorite. I'm not a golfer, but I'll watch him all day long. He brings an excellence and majesty to the game that is so lacking in other sports.

Well, I've babbled on long enough. Time to worship Trish. Y'all have fun now, heah?

yup, yup

The Colts have prevailed in the annual classic. It was bound to happen one of these years. It's too bad it was against the Bears instead of the Cowboys. I am happy anyime maximum pain is being exacted on Jerry Jones. Does that sound mean and vindictive? GOOD!!! T.O. and Jerry deserve each other. Sadly, football season has now come to an end. I discovered this fact as I franticly searched for Monday night football last week. Alas, it is no more. Now we are faced with a long, long wait until preseason in August. It will be difficult to survive Saturdays and Sundays. boo hoo hoo

We are still in the icey grip of winter with daytime highs of 60 or so and lows of 40. At least all that wretched frost is gone. Time to plant the garden. I know that some of you have had some really miserable weather. Well, hahaha.

Both of my little girls have disappeared from my life. They provided an old man with hours of amusement. They are sorely missed.

Speaking of missing, I can hardly wait to be missing from California. We are looking forward to our trek to Nevada. I hope we can accomplish this soon.

My #1 grandson graduates high school in June. He is all set for his college career. His brother is also really smart, but he is also hell on wheels. I hope he decides on a college education too.

It is a grey day here in the San Joaquin valley. The weather report is, "It sucks."

As I gaze at my calendar, I see vast herds of doctor's appointments in our near future. In the good old days, we didn't see the doctor even once a year. Now, it's three time a week. I have said it before, I'll say it again, "The golden years suck." I have decided that the main reason old people die is that they want to escape the 'golden years'. It ain't gold, it is rust.

We are trying to adopt one of my wife's young nieces from the Philippines. Unless you have tried this manuever, you can't believe the amount of useless paperwork that must be accomplished. Why does it have to be so? Well, one of the main reasons is that we have let the lawyers take over our government. It should be illegal to enter into any government function if you have a law degree. I suppose this is just another sign of the moral decay that is being forced upon us by the liberals. booo

I am now depressed. Rats!

It is time to get breakfast and then listen to more Trish.

And so it goes.

Smarty Pants

I realize that I have not waited my customary month or two. That is because I get to brag, and there is little I like better than bragging. Here goes. My oldest grandson, Blake has just been accepted on scholarship to the University of Nevada. I always knew that one of us would turn out to be smart. I'm glad it was he.

In addition, my grand daughter's birthday is coming up on the 30th of January. Ahh, there, you see, it really does feel better now. Bragging is definitely good for you.

On the down side, my wife is now a heart patient. She has had a stent installed in her. She is one unhappy little female. Of course she blames me for the stent. Never mind the fact that it has probably saved her life.

As I predicted, the furnace repair crew finished up in a couple of days. The outside temperature immediately shot up to 71. The weather gods temporarily forgot that I don't like cold weather. Now, they have regained control of their senses as the temp has dropped to about 50. I hate winter. I wish I could afford to move somewhere where there is no winter. Alas, I'm stuck in this miserable weather for at least 4 months every year.

On the sports scene, Federer has once again crushed everybody in the Australian open. That makes 10 majors. Tiger Woods has now scored his 8th PGA tour win in a row. All I can say is,"WOW"!!!

Well, I gotta go listen to Trish now. So it goes.

ugly

Yes, it's true. The weather here is still ugly. We had a hard freeze which pretty much destroyed the citrus crops. O.J. prices are going up!!!

As I predicted, Pelosi and her band of insane, limp-wristed, wimpy liberals are doing their best to destroy our country. The bitch of the century, Hillary, has declared for the presidential race. God help us if she wins. There is no bigger enemy of the U.S. than Hillary the crook.

The mexicans are getting louder in their bid to tear this country apart. We should send all of them back to mexico. It would be a good idea to allow the army to repel the invasion by whatever means necessary. (shoot 'em)

I would like to thank some of you for expressing your views in my e-mail. It is good to know that someone is reading this stuff, even if they are a little bit out of plumb.

My Seahawks lost in their bid to go back to the super bowl. Damn!! The question now is, can the Colts bust the Bears? It is a daunting task, but Manning may have enough horsepower to do it.

Lucky for us, spring is only weeks away. That handy-dandy furnace I laid out 9k bucks for is out of adjustment, so you freeze your ass off downstairs while it is tropical upstairs. The repair dweebs will be here tomorrow. If things go like they did when it was installed in 105 degree heat and was cooling the house nicely for 6 whole days before the temperature plummeted down to the 50's, they'll fix it and a week later it'll be 90 degrees. I just can't seem to get on top of this home owner crap. Maybe I'll just sell out and move into a Las Vegas hotel for the duration.

I have discovered a new singer. Her name is Trish Thuy Trang. She is Vietnamese, but speaks English better than most Americans. She was raised in Texas. If any of you have Limewire, look her up and download some of her songs. I have some suggestions if you'll e-mail me.

Once again, I am starting to think about a trip northward. Like all other years, this'll probably end in disaster as so many others have.

Well, I've gotta go listen to Trish now. Remember, the fat guy in California loves you, sort of.

alright, already

Once again the American people have displayed their abject stupidity by electing another flock of liberal idiots to congress. I guess they have forgotten the Democraps plans to tax us into prosperity. Pelosi, who couldn't outwit a sack of sand, has sworn to try to pass heavy-duty taxes on the rich. What she didn't reveal is that her idea of 'rich' is anyone who makes over $20k a year. Bend over, here it comes!!!!

That whining herd of cry-babies in New York are at it again. Last summer, they wept bitter tears over Arod.(130 rbi's and 30 home runs) Now they are sniveling over Manning just because he hasn't managed to single handedly save the Giants from obliteration. New York doesn't deserve superior players. If it weren't for some really well-heeled owners, no one would want to play there. I know if I were some hot-shot sports ace, they'd have to offer me the girl, the gold watch and everything to play in front of those pussilanimous poultroons.

Winter is here with a vengeance. This week's highs are only in the high 50's. BOO...Hiss Delano scores a big fat zero for weather this month. It is still months until springs arrives. UGH!!

Some of you may have hears runors that we are moving to Las Vegas. I must admit that we are looking for property there. Something half-way between my daughter's house and Ethel M's would be ideal.

Yes, it is once again that time of year when little children are at their best, their beastly little hearts hoping to wipe out a year of evil with a couple of weeks of angelic behavior. When mothers prepare to build memories for years to come. When fathers clean their rifles, hoping to ,at last, get those reindeer tenderloins. Most men believe that there should be an elf season, especially fat elves in red suits and fruity little tasseled hats. You know, the ones that max out your credit cards annually.

And so, I will bid everyone a Merry Christmas. And it is CHRISTmas. Whip a liberal for Jesus!!!

nyny

It is true!!! The 2 most powerful baseball teams the world has ever seen have been blown away. All I can say is, hahahahahahahahaha!!! So much for those snooty, snotty New York teams.

How about those Saints? Who'd a thunk it?

Well, we are now in the icy grip of winter. Temperatures barely make it into the low 80s and plummet to the high 40s at night. If I'm going to freeze, I'd much rather do it somewhere water flows and has fish in it. Having a miserable time...wish you were here.......instead of me!!

I can't believe how much better I feel since I stopped watching TV news. No wonder that we are in such tough shape. The media has turned out to be a flock of joy-busting morons with little to do with truth. I am convinced that we need to seriously overhaul our entire media system. Whatever happened to balanced reporting? Arrogance is the #1 trait displayed by the press. They ignore the courts and have invented the "right to know". Where, exactly does it say that the public has a right to know everything? I can't find it. The media thought it up to justify their lust for dirt. It would be worth it to be in the public eye just to tell the media to buzz off.

My #1 grandson's birthday is rapidly approaching. Luckily, my wife will make the journey to Las Vegas to bestow gifts upon him. I have no idea what she'll give him. I don't think I want to know. As long as it isn't ballet slippers, I'll be happy.

On a less happy note, my sweet little girl will be leaving soon and heading back to Alaska. I count myself lucky to have had her this long.

I still have not yet won the lottery. Would 40 or 50 million dollars change me? HELL YES!!! People who say it would have no significant impact on their way of life are kidding themselves.

The next five months will be colder than a pocketful of penguin poop, but I will once again attempt to survive it. Oh well................

September song

So there I was in the middle of a 110 degree heat wave when my central sir conditioning gave up the ghost. Sears was happy to replace it for only $8.5k. Of course, three days after the installation was completed, the temperature plummeted down to 80 and has stayed there ever since. There must be some corrolary to Murphy's law that covers such events.

My Okies lost to Oregon and the zebras, who made two really bad calls at a critical moment. On a brighter note, Notre Dame, picked by the usual gang of moron sports writers to become national champions this year, got their asses kicked hard by Michigan which wasn't even in the top ten.

As you may have guessed from my preamble, the weather here is just barely acceptable. Temps are in the high 70's and low 80's. They say it will warm up later this week, but I have no faith in it.

I have given up watching the news and find I am much, much happier in the land of the ignorant. The news always tilts slightly to the left of Marx. Who needs it? Not me.

Whatever happened to Bin Ladin? Are we ever going to capture that repulsive pile of dog shit? If it were up to me, I'd give all those dingle-weed countries in the area three days to produce his slimey ass and then I'd nuke them all. It might turn out to be a learning experience for the rest of those dorks who give us so much grief.

I see that KFC is waiting. Until my next tirade, aloha.

boo hoo hoo

You have heard that New York baseball fans are really tough because of the way they BOO their heroes during a slump, AROD, for instance. I think they are they biggest cry babies in these United States. What a herd of wimps!!! A truly excellent player hits a little rough spot, and this bunch of whining, simpering pussies make life miserable for him. New York does not deserve a team with outstanding players. If it wasn't for Steinbrenner's bucks, they would get the third rate team they are crying for.

The weather here was just right for a while. It was 105 to 115 for about 3 weeks. Now it has cooled to 95-100. Satifactory, but nothing like the glory days of July. The days are growing shorter. I see the spectre of winter starting to rear it's ugly head.

The middle east morons continue to show that they don't deserve to live. I still maintain that the only way to solve that problem is to nuke the hell out of them. I would have said, 'nuke 'em back to the stone age, but that would be a big step forward for them. Of course that gang of limp-wristed bufoons in Washington won't do it. They would rather see our wonderful country thrown to the dogs than give up political correctness. Too bad there isn't some way to get rid of the entire worthless crew and start all over. We need people with guts and foresight to oversee our governments affairs. I have no doubt that we will go to war with Iran. When we do, we should carefully consider the nuclear option.

Our grandchildren have gone back to Nevada. We had a great time with them. My grand daughter (age 3) now swims like a fish. My #2 grandson is turning into a first class little kid. He is going to be LARGE! My #1 grandson will be in college next year. Maybe when he graduates, he'll buy buy me the yacht I so richly deserve.

Our 15 year old will be a sophomore this year. She is already making noises about volleyball, basketball and track. The fun never stops!!!!

Where did he go?

That's the question that will be on everyone's lips after I win the $106 million dollar lottery tomorrow. I'll disappear like the morality of the media, never to be seen again. I have already produced a list of things I'll get, where I'll go and what I'll do. OOOOPS!!! There's that dream again. I get it every time the lottery gets over 100 million. Damn!!

Does anybody know who won the Stanley Cup? Or the World Cup? Or even if they've been played? Does anyone care?

The weather here is perfect. During the days it is 90 to 105 and at night it plummets down to 72 or 73. Delano gets a big "A" for weather this week.

As you know, we are being invaded from the south by a vast herd of ne'er do well welfare seekers. Contact your congressional people and the president. Let them know that this is totally unacceptable. We need the Army on the border with orders to shoot the invaders.

Are we ever going to catch Ben Ladin? He has drifted away from the mainstream media's attention. They have more important things to consider, like steroids in sports.

Once again, I am hoping to make an out of state trip. I really want it to happen, mostly because I am completely fed up with California. C'mon lottery!!

YES

So the low, slinking animal that was zarqawi has departed permanently. The media mutants are displeased because they had to admit that zarqawi was rubbed out in Iraq, thus sealing the Iraq Al Qaeda tie. So President Bush was right all along and that pack of left wing pansies was wrong. This kind of makes me wonder what else the liberal sniffers are wrong about. I suspect that at least 90% of what passes for news is at least tainted and the other 10% is pure unadulterated bullshit. This is a huge blow to the pinko commie liberal faction. Will it swing this year's election results? We can only hope.

Daily temperatures here in Delano have been running in the mid 90s. That is satifactory. We have all been swimming for the last two days. How could anyone embrace winter when summer is so clearly superior? In my opinion, those who bitch about heat and praise the cold are definitely squirrel bait.

One of my nephews in Spokane is turning into a pro grade baseball player. He is a great kid with good grades and no bad habits. I'll report from time to time on his progress into the world of professional sports.

Two of my grandchildren have arrived. This is great. I get to torpedo all their mother's excellent traing and then send them home like little guided missiles. Grandchildren are much more fun than children. Revenge is sweet!!

WRONG........again

So there I sat on the deck. I looked at the pool. It was a beautiful, crystal clear blue. I observed the flower beds and the vegetable garden. It was all starting to bloom under the warm (102 degree) Southern California sun. A perfect day. That was 3 short days ago. I thought summer was upon us at last! But, NO!! It rained on me today. The temperature has dropped off to a chilly 71 degrees. Once again, I was wrong in assuming that summer was present. Summer is still lurking beyond the veil of global cooling. Yes, it's true. The world is getting colder, not warmer. I believe another ice age is not far away. YUK!!!

The media maggots are still in hot pursuit of Barry Bonds. He gets more publicity than the war. Lighten up! He has never flunked a drug test. He has answered all the questions that the inquisition has offered. They have proven just exactly nothing. I'll bet if he only had 100 home runs, we wouldn't hear a peep out of the talking heads. Does this sound like I have no respect for the media? BINGO!!!! They are a greedy herd of obnoxious, arrogant assholes who have taken it upon themselves to adjudicate every case that floats to the top.
Last weekend the poles revealed that the lowest rated show on the entire weekend was the Stanley cup playoffs. Yup, they scored even lower than ladies Lacrosse. Their market share was an abysmal 0.09.
Once again the American people are being fed a bunch of propaganda aimed at propping up the failing professional soccer league. It ain't gonna work. Americans have football, baseball and basketball. The most exciting thing about a soccer game is watching the grass on the field grow. It's about the same for hockey, except in hockey, you watch the ice melt.

Gas prices continue to rise unabated. Maybe some genius will figure out a way to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen to burn in our engines. It would be a real shame to say farwell forever to our Arab 'chums', but I think most of us could get along without them after a brief period of adjustment. 10 seconds ought to do it.

Speaking of pond scum, I am coming to believe that the only way to have peace with Islam is to kill all of them, everywhere. If you think this is too harsh, you have probably never lived in a Moslem country. Most of that ilk are vile, low individuals who absolutely cannot be trusted. The cancer must be removed completely if the operation is to be a success.

My little girl is visiting relatives in Alaska. She'll be back in June. My grandchildren will be here around the first of June or so. Grandma and I are anxiously awaiting their arrival.

And so it goes.

Great result!!

Thanks to all of you who prayed for my cousin's recovery from surgery. He is home and recuperating nicely. Now say one more prayer of thanks to God who made it happen.

I have revised my opinion on how to deal with the Mexican problem. Instead of rounding them up, we should be gunning them down. When are the Americans going to wise up? We are the object of a full scale invasion from the south. A formal declaration of war is in order. Station our armies on the border. Shoot the invaders. Round up all the illegal aliens and shoot them as spies. You would soon see a major exodus to the south. It wouldn't take much to convince the Mexican government to take some strong action on their side of the border. Especially if they suspected that their country was about to be invaded from the north. Is this a drastic solution? Yes, but we have a drastic problem. time to fix it. Does this sound like I have no sympathy for the poor little invading Mexicans? I do not have any sympathy for invaders.

When is the Barry Bonds saga going to end? He has passed evey drug test ever administered to him. Leave him alone. That hack writer who crucified him for the sake of selling his miserable books should be publicly flogged. Am I a Bonds fan? Not especially, but I don't believe in this kind of trial by idiots.

Are you dismayed by the price of gasoline? You should be pissed off. The oil companies are price gouging on a massive scale. This fall, they will be publicly shocked by their incredible profits. Privately, however, they will be congratulating each other on a major 'mission accomplished'. I don't know what the solution is. I guess we could take over the oil fields by force and fire all the Arabs. It would be less drastic to find an alternative fuel. Something must be done and quickly. The money that should be in American pockets is flooding into Arab pockets. That ain't right.

almost there

Yes, it's true!!! Summer is almost here. Daytime temps here are mid eighties to low nineties. I have turned off the heater. In a week or so the pool may be warm enough to use. The weather report from Delano is....fair.

So now the illegal aliens have decided to strike. How long are we going to take this kind of insulting abuse from a bunch of criminals. Now that those lunatics are all gathered together in bunches, we should swoop in and arrest them all. Immediate deportation is the solution. Those who are U.S. citizens should be tried for aiding and abetting a foreign invasion. Treason.

It should also be obvious by now that the only permanent solution to the middle east debacle is to nuke them completely off the face off the earth. Arrest all of them who are outside the middle east and execute them. Then, and only then, will we find the peace we desire. If we continue to let the 'diplomats' handle it, we'll be at war for 2,000 years. When termites invade your home, you don't negotiate, you obliterate.

While we are talking about obliteration, I sure wish I had an RPG to take care of those inconsiderate assholes with there 10,000 watt car stereos. It would be very peasant watching them disappear in a blinding flash and a ball of smoke.

The NFL draft is almost over. Once again the so-called experts in the media have shown that they know nothing about how football teams think. Most of them have been at least 85% wrong. Wouldn't you like a job that pays hundreds of thousands a year and lets you be totally incompetent? Sign me up!!!

My little girl made the honor roll!!! Who'd a thunk it? She goes back to visit Alaska at the end of May. She'll be back in late June. My grandchildren will be arriving about the first of June. Life marches on.

If any of you are the praying type, say a little prayer for my cousin, Sterling, who will undergo an extremely dangerous operation on Monday. Do I believe in the power of prayer? Well, duh, it saved my raggedy butt.

About 2 months ago, I stopped listening to the news on TV and radio. Whoever said that ignorance is bliss was definitely right! I haven't been this blissful and relaxed in years! I must admit that I do tune in at sporadic intervals, but the news never changes. Only the names and places. It is like a soap opera. Who needs it? Not me!!

My buddy in North Carolina says the fishing is starting to improve. A little more heat and I may try it myself. There are few places to fish in this valley and getting out of the valley is a semi-long trek. Am I just making excuses? YES..

Gee, I feel 100% better now that I have off-loaded all that bile and tripe!

Don't forget to sock to the ACLU at every opportunity.

Give piece a chance. Or, at least try heavy petting.

Lacrosse???

What is Lacrosse? Does anybody really care if some Lacrosse players got drunk and poked a stripper? Once again the media has found a juicy sex-laden cause to wrap it's mitts around. The media thrives on sex and drug scandals. All we've been hearing from the limited minds of the media is Lacrosse and Bonds. Enough already!! The entire nation is fed up with being fed a steady diet of this kind of trash. WE DO NOT NEED ANY MORE!!!!!

Today the sun has made one of its brief appearances this year. It is a refreshing change from the steady drip, drip, drip of the past month. It was like the whole state had the clap. A little shot of solar penicillin is just what the doctor ordered. Once again, my pool looks like a swamp thanks to over-flowing rain water from the garden. It'll take at least a week to clear it up. Once again, my wife is preparing to chomp on the pool boy about cleaning the filter.

I am waiting for a couple of weeks of steady sunshine before I go fishing. I still want to go surf fishing over at San Simeon. It should be really good once the clouds go away.

My grandchildren will be here for spring break. I can hardly wait. Too many moons have passed since last they visited. We'll be having a major bar-b-q unless the water gods conspire against us.

Now a word about illegal aliens. They are 'illegal aliens'. They are NOT 'undocumented immigrants'. They are in this country illegally. The plans currently being debated in Congress are far too lenient. We should scoop all of them up and immediately deport them. They should have to undergo the same tedious procedure that the legal immigrants have to withstand. They are all felons. Criminals. That crap that the liberal media feeds us about how much they are worth to us does not take into account the fact that they have totally destroyed our health care systems and educational establishments and have overloaded our courts. Many of these criminals were criminals in their countries of origin. Now they are here, murdering, stealing and selling dope. When will we wise up? It should not be the business of the American taxpayer to continue to support these criminals. Their native governments should reform and keep them at home. Fat chance!! Those governments are too corrupt to give their own people a break. However, we are not responsible for their ineptitude. Since countries like Mexico refuse to reform and actually encourage this illegal behaviour, I think we should declare war on them, kick their asses and then annex them. They are, after all, invading our country. There is nothing wrong with a little imperialism.

Please do not forget to dump on the ACLU at every opportunity. The ACLU is the most subversive, dangerous gang of maniacs at large in the U.S. today.

Looks like my acidic inkwell is just about dry for today. Oh well.
