I'm Glad I'm Not You, Cus Then I Wouldn't Be Me

Well, I've logged on three times this week. Amazingly no withdrawal pains. Life moves on and as different as things become, they are still predominately the same. My week consists of Ladder Assists, ER tarp jobs, Service Writer Appts, all sprinkled in with a few sales. I'll be home at 10:25 Thursday, Thanksgiving Day for five days. In case like me, you're counting, that's only 12 days away. I think I'll have to let Becky have some no kid downtime as much as I want to be next to her 24/7 when I'm home. She's keeping busy between ending football soccer and various clubs, all three kids with varying schedules. When this is all said and done I can see a weekend spa vacation and something small and glittery is going to be in order.


Things are different around here on the blogs. I see the election blogs are down and Satan himself hasn't taken over America since Obama has gained the nod. I kind of figure there are a few waiting in the wings to shout “I told you so," but that's ok. I've voiced my disagreements with the current administration more than a time or two. It will be an interesting 4 years and I wonder if my hopes of a new revitalized Republican Party may materialize. One without the old boy network and free from pandering to the evangelical religious right., still fiscally conservative, but embracing the blue collar worker and having compassion. Oh well, one can dream. And as much as things change I still see things also remain the same. Blogs banned, people banned, I'm just not around to know the why and that's fine by me. I think I'll keep it that way.

Houston is in a tizzy. Seems someone thinks it might be a good idea to allow police checkpoints to inspect driver’s licenses and insurance. Oh and the caveat of stopping illegals. Hell, if Houston wants to stop illegals they just need to do stops in South Houston at the convenience stores where at any given time of the day about 20 male Hispanics will be waiting hoping someone will hire them as day laborers. It's funny but at the same time very depressing to watch them disperse twelve ways to Sunday when the police pull into the lot. The best remark I heard about another blow to personal freedom was "what's next, the police going door to door to check every house for proper identification and warrants?

Yep, I'm still listening to right wing radio. It's about as addictive as blogging and just about as funny. It doesn't matter that what they said yesterday didn't pan out, it's all about new predictions and forecasts. Hmmm, kind of reminds me of Doc Masters blog. Maybe Rush and Hannity have aliases on here too.

Oh well, I'm homesick and I have a cold and somewhere if there was a question in all this it has evaded me. Enjoy your weekend everyone.
