Driving too fast on the first icy road day of winter is a bad idea.

Driving too fast on the first icy road day of winter and jerking the wheel is a VERY bad idea.

Driving too fast on the first icy road day of winter and jerking the wheel and ditching your truck is a VERY, VERY bad idea.

Driving too fast on the first icy road day of winter and jerking the wheel and ditching your truck WHILE DRUNK is an VERY,VERY,VERY, bad idea. ‘Cause once the cops come to help block the roads for the tow truck you are SCREWED.

(no it wasn’t me, but I saw it happen)….(and by drunk, I mean HAMMERED)

So my blogfriend (and friend in real life as well) Brigid has gotten great acclaim from Kirkus review…

I mean, really, this is big. Really really big.

Congratulations, my friend.

Democratic politicians lie to get elected

(not that all politicians don’t lie…but about MAJOR issues?)

May the upcoming year be good for you, prosperous and satisfying for each of you.

Me: I’ll be glad to see 2014 in my rearview mirror,

To make you glad he lost….


“McCain wages “All Out War” to rid AZ GOP of Tea Party

Almost….

He’s “conservative” only when compared to Obama and his ilk.

Yeah, they are allowing the unions to reduce pensions because said unions haven’t adequately funded the pension funds……Seems that they skimmed a bit too much over the years and now they want to cut pensions to those folks who worked hard and paid those union dues and paid into the pension funds so they could retire after 20+ years with a good living…..

Watching out for the working man and all that…..

So the LA police did a “Manhunt” early Monday morning because some officers thought they might have been shot at. 

Now, on the one hand, I don’t have any issues with this.

On the other hand, if the police could pull officers from other locations and find all that manpower to do the area wide search and manhunt, why can’t they do it for everyone? I mean, it isn’t like that was the first gunshot heard in the area that month or even that week.

Odd, innit how they can react so forcefully with all those cops when it might be a cop who is the target….But not when it is another citizen who is shot at…….And lets not even talk about how they responded when Chris Dorner scared them and threatened them

I’m just sayin’.

the only thing I wanted that I didn’t get for Christmas was a backhoe attachment for my Kubota tractor (the better to hide the evidence with….).

I sincerely hope you all had an excellent Christmas this year.

To each of my readers, May you have the most merry and satisfying Christmas this year.

Whatever your traditions, be it homebound, be it spent with friends, with family, whatever you do to recharge your spirit, I wish you good tidings and joy.

Again, to those forced by duty to be tasked away from friends and family: Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Please remember the reason for this season though.

To all of you having to work for us on either Christmas eve or Christmas day:

Police, Fire, etc.

Thank you.

And to all those Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, Sailors and Coast Guardsmen standing post or standing watch on these days:

Again, thank you for your service and sacrifice. Have a Merry Christmas.

To the rest of you: Say thanks to these folks as well. They stand between us and evil. Appreciate that.
