Half week

I saw these guys a gazzillion times back in New Haven and over at the beach in Rhode Island. A great part of my college age years.

Snow fell in parts of NC yesterday. Nothing but a little rain here. Now windy and cold.

The man is now clearing out Occupy LA. Are the using pepper spray?

The the conventions next year will be tumultuous? Shades of 68 or Kent State.

I think I am getting my mom a single cup coffee maker for Christmas. She seems to like those.

Do you watch Storage Wars?

One step closer to Friday>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Miley

Miley, you little stoner. Nice job with the video.

I am picking up my gas dryer on Friday. My Christmas gift from my parents. Woo Hoo.

We did not get as much rain as they said we were going to get. I guess some places got hammered with rain and maybe some snow in the higher mountains.

Got to do some Christmas shopping this weekend. Some is already done. Mostly handmade gifts.

Have to change Summer's food. I think the good i am getting her, it is good food, is causing her skin to be dry. Need something with no grain in it.

Peace. Summer says I have to pp.

I'm still here

Been busy taking my parents to see some different places around the area.

Friday we went to a couple of antique shops, had bbq for lunch, then went to Seagrove to some potters. I bought my self two more dinner plates so now I four from the same potter. Also bought a very expensive coffee cup. Now all my coffee cups, except the one that goes for roadtrips, are from area potters. All other cups and dinner plates will be relegated to the yard sale section of the guest house.

Went out for breakfast yesterday, a new place Tammy, and had shrimp and grits, two eggs, biscuit, sausage and oj. The shrimp and grits were yummy. Went to a little flea market down the street and picked up my brother/sister-in-laws last present. Also got Mike his. All hand made items. On the way home stopped at a classic roadside yard sale in the parking lot of a recycling place. The old man selling was quite something. Talking about Jesus and great weather and how he was a teamster and drove all over the U.S. and then he sold me a fake Christmas tree. It is white.
$10 deal of the day.

My dad and I raked more leaves.

We went a bought a gas dryer. Woo hoo. No more line drying for things.

OK. Taking Summer for a walk. Found .26 yesterday. I am getting richer with each walk. If I walk across the U.S. I could be rich and famous for "Walking with Summer".

Thanksgiving Day

Thanks to William Burroughs for his ever insightful thoughts.

May Ken and Sammy and Tammy and Mike be blessed with turkey and pie and maybe a jar of baby food. May the conversation be stimulating and the naps just as good. May you Occupy your couch or your favorite chair as your waistline strains your underwear.

May you think of family and friends long departed and newly born.
May you think of friends near and far, if you were closer I'd hop in my car.

Mike, Tammy, Tia, Cody..............gobble gobble gobble. Miss y'all.

Ken, Sammy Jeremy, may the three generations be bound together by Carolyn's bountiful meal.

Mom and Dad are still sleeping. I am sure they would say Hi.

Almost Gobble

This woman tried out and never made it too American Idol. This song sold millions.

Are you ready for tomorrow? Have all your fixings? Pumpkin pie, hmmmm.

Parents are good.

You going shopping Thanksgiving. Hope not. That shit pisses me off.

I am going to take my parents on a roadtrip and show them some sights.

Gotta take Summer for a walk. She is getting antsy.

Peace.

Who's America

Why is this acceptable in the United States when we vilify other nations of the world for doing the same thing. It is not acceptable. As a matter of fact what you have seen here on the part of the police officer is most likely going to cost him and others their jobs, as it should. How come so many leaders and the lackeys are so willing to trample on the freedom of speech and the right to assemble.

Found a nice pair of gloves and a nice big camping knife while walking Summer today.

Parents will be here tomorrow. I think I am ready, the house seems to be ready also.

Time to watch a movie. Wait I have to blow dry Summer first.

Wow

Massive day for Occupy. 20,000 or more marched in NYC. Very nice.
I feel another national day coming on. I think New Years day in Washington D.C. should the target day.

Below freezing this morning.

It is the lighting of the green in Gibsonville tonight. Carolers and other events going on. I think there is free food involved also.

Busy weekend. Good house cleaning, going to pickup a turkey and other goodies the week. Also hope to go down to Seagrove to the massive pottery show.

Time to walk the dog, the iron my shirt. Has many wrinkles. Way too many.

Oh yeah, must blow leaves.

Hump Day plus one

The strong storms missed here. They were close by. We did get lots of rain though.
Looks like another round of leaf blowing this weekend along with the final prep for my parents visit.

Sorry gotta run. Late this morning. Time for breakfast and a shower.

Be well my friends.

THEY are afraid

So the man is proving they are afraid of Occupy. Early this morning the NYPD went in and cleared out Zuccotti Park because they were worried about the plan to shut down Wall Street Thursday and march on the Brooklyn Bridge Thursday. They are afraid that "We the People" are gaining power and strength and changing the discussion of America.

This will be the defining moment of the movement. What tactics do we use next to keep the movement going forward? A mass march on Washington DC with all the Occupy Americans will make all our leaders stand up and be counted. The time is now!!!!!!!!
Stay tuned America.

Peace.

Leaf me alone

This is a great song by the Dixie Chicks. Talk about a band who suffered from right wing fanatics. They never fully recovered from their thoughts on George bush and the war. It is a shame they were blacklisted by fanatical war mongers in country music.

Picked up the two twin beds Saturday. The house is ready for guests. Y'all come on over.

Raked and used the leaf blower to do half the yard yesterday. Also cut down some bushes along the side of the guest house. Grass and flowers will go in there in the spring. With half the leaves still on the trees there will be more raking and leaf blowing to do. It sucks that it is dark so early now. Any yard work is for the weekend only, boo.

That is it really. Quiet weekend for the most part.

Now Newt is making a surge. Bahahaha.

Have a great Monday.

No bath for the birds

High steppin round the livin room to dis tune. Some fine pickin.

This morning while walking past the bird bath I go to swipe the leaves off the top and discover a nice layer of ICE. What the heck is that all about. Now that is crazy. Gonna be 60 today.

Busy day today. Need to pick up two twin beds for upstairs, some dinnerware for turkey day, do laundry, suck up dog hair, pay bills, look for some chairs for the dining room. Blow around some leaves too.

Ken, I am still waiting for you too put in the line for my dryer.

Riot

This albums makes me want to drive 100 in a 30 mph speed zone.
This is what hard rock and metal are all about. In my top list of albums.
If there was one singer I could sing like it would be DIO.

49 million Americans live at or below the poverty line. Wow. Just unacceptable.

Here is a way to fix the economy, fuckheads. Pay us more money. We will spend more and that alone will create jobs.

Finding lots of dead squirrels around. Falling out of trees? Getting hit by cars.

The more we see Rick Perry the I want him to be the nominee. I would be a fun fest of stupid comments.

If the U.S. can use drones wherever we want why can't other countries?
Got a good answer for that? Did not think so.

Crazy

Gonna be near 70 today. Then the high only 53 on Friday.

Voters voted down the republicans last night. We won back union workers rights in Ohio,we won back same day voter registration in Maine and voted down an attempted law in Mississippi saying life begins at conception. Are these Occupy wins?

Looks like the new J. Edgar Hoover movie is going to be a good one.

I need curtains for the living room.

First two recommendations from the doc I saw yesterday was exercise and eat a good breakfast instead of blogging in the morning.

Do you want my blog for breakfast or dinner?

Trouble

Good hippy music for a Tuesday morning.

Big problems for Joe Pa and Herman Cain. Why are there so many problems with sexual issues all around us. Is it the work of the devil?

Goodbye Joe Frazier. One of the true boxing legends has moved one.
He was a great boxer in the golden days of boxing. Only 67.

Going to be 70 today. Wish I was off from work. This is outdoor weather.

What do you want for Christmas?

Stop barking Summer. Please.

Falling Back

Did you fall back this weekend? I got about 8 hours sleep Saturday and Sunday night.
Very rare event.

I really did not do much else this weekend. Cleaned the house and combed Summer.
Both should be daily events.

Did take a few pictures Sunday morning. I have many on my camera to upload.

Banks have made more profits in the last two years than they did in all 8 years under Bush. The average wall street salary has gone up 16% in the last two years.

If you have not received a raise in the last two years you have had a salary decrease with the cost of good rising as they have.

Gonna be a busy week at work. UUGGH.

Thanksgiving in two weeks.

The stupid and the badass

So the last few days the trains have been laying heavy on the whistle/horn be because some stupid mother*ucker, who dad should have worn a condom, decided to play chicken with a train. He jumped away at the last minute and the train conductor about had a heart attack. He got arrested. Dumb *uck.

Nice little clip from when the Rolling Stones defined badass. They were clicking on all cylinders as far as the music they were making is concerned. Enjoy the vibe for your Friday breakfast.

Nice job of some more folks, whose dads also should have worn condoms, in Oakland Wednesday night. Anarchists, general trouble makers, infiltrators and other fools hijacked the protest after a long successful day. This is not what we need to move the movement along. It will happen but really this needs to be put to rest.
There has been a slight, but noticeable turn against OWS in the press the last few days. They want things to be hijacked.

Hey Jeremy Mayfield need some Meth.

Doc visit Friday morning. Woo Hoo.

Peace mi amigos and amigas.

Drat

Drat, I was thinking today was Thursday. Not sure where the lost day went.

Bought a cheap little fire pit at Home Depot yesterday. Time to burn down the hood.

Watch and see what happens at Occupy Oakland today. Will it be peaceful or will the police come in riot gear. Hopefully it is not ugly.

Time for a shower. Running late. This little bit took 20 minutes to come up with.
Must be fog on the brain this morning.

Action

So Occupy has been going on for six weeks at this point and now it is getting to the point where we need to start calling for action as a united Occupy front. We need to start pressuring government agencies to start prosecuting the Wall Street officials who caused the mess we are in now. We need to bring several lawsuits that will end the current law that gives corporations the same rights as people. We need to change laws that are leading the U.S. to have the largest prison population in the world. Too many non violent offenders are filling our jails. We need to force them to fully fund our educational system. We need to force them to stop killing people around the world in all our wars.

I think we need a national Occupy day in Washington where all the groups across the country march on the White House as a united front so the leaders and the world can see that we the occupy movement are one United front.

If we as Occupy continue to occupy and do not start to call and force actions by our leaders the movement will lose its power. It is time to force action.
