An interesting trip, part business and part fun.
But it is good to be home again.

It was relaxing, the last part, and the entire trip was fun, We were easily able to relax knowing that our menagerie was in the capable hands of a friend.

Thank you Brigid. You have no idea how much your taking care of our home is appreciated.

And thank you to EJ for making the trip home as painless as possible. It’s nice having a chauffeur to make the trip from the airport easy and painless. 

Tomorrow: Back to the grind.

Britain follows on the heels of the US.

They will monitor all calls and emails, and all web use of the citizens (and, apparently, visitors) in the UK.

Orwell was a prophet.

Kinda scary. isn’t it?

Soon, here in the US too. Unless something drastic should happen to that site in Utah.

Remember, they are watching and listening. Perhaps I am not as paranoid as I have been accused of….

The $640K (yeah, $0.640 BILLION) Mega Millions lottery:

Please consider buying me one of these.

I need one to get to work on time….

I, unfortunately, didn’t win.

Will The Won call the folks whose address Spike Lee gave out in a fit of rage against George Zimmerman, only to find out that he was mistaken, and then double down on his stupidity by refusing to apologize?

Nah, I don’t expect it either.

Will he do anything besides play up to the sorely needed middle and lower class blacks so that he can be one of them in their minds and gain their vote (even though he hasn’t materially helped them?)

Will he be anything but race conscious in who he favors?

Nah, likely not.

Funny how racist this “post-racial president” is, isn’t it?

I am disgusted even more than I expected to be.

Bet that the Euro ends up being France, Germany, and the other northern European countries. The south ones will bail. Or collapse.

101 years ago, the Army adopted the Pistol, model of 1911.

I own 5. carry one (or it’s twin) daily.

Dammned good piece of engineering there, Mr. Browning.

Want bad.

Need for truck.

(got papoose for car already)

What  MLK would think of this brouhaha over Trayvan Martin and George Zimmerman?

Would HE choose to support a young black man over a white man?

Would he be all for summary justice….in other words, a lynching?

Would HE support the (New) Black Panthers and their reward for blood? 

Would he be calling for blood as justice?

I really doubt it.

I think he’d be wanting facts, and would let the system work first.
