Correction

In looking over yesterday’s entry, I realize that I need to make one correction. Homemade chocolate cake with chocolate icing is better than any other food this world has every produced.

Is it our caveman genes?

Why is it that food grilled outside over an open flame always tastes better than just about anything we produce in our kitchens? Seriously, is there a better food in the world than ribs grilled and basted over an open flame with a fresh salad to match?

There are two ways to wake up

There are two ways to wake up in the morning. The way Carm does and the way Bubba does. Carm leaps up, tail wagging, body wriggling, pouncing on my body, ready to start what he knows will be another exciting day. Bubba gets up slowly, blinks through sleepy eyes, tries to avoid Carm’s antics on the bed, stretches slowly, somewhere in mid-stretch simply slumps down again as though all her energy was now used up and then reluctantly allows me to pick her up and carry her downstairs to go out.

The reality is that I’m more of a Bubba

How many holes can possibly be left?

I have lowered the fencing… well, actually, Lenny did but he did so at my request. I have built little hills of rocks at every place where it seemed the dirt was separated from the bottom of the fence enough to entice a small dog to attempt to make a break for it. I’ve had Lenny nail sheets of metal over openings too big to cover with rocks. I’ve pulled wooden flower tubs in front of gate areas. I’ve done everything but wrap the house in shrink wrap to make it escape proof. So how does Carm still find a

Thank you Alaska Republican Party

I was out of state when Ron Paul followers, ably aided by the ever charming Joe Miller, took over the Alaska Republican Party so I might not have remembered to say thank you. Thank you… Thank you… Thank you. The columns all but write themselves.

Who cares?

Bristol Palin had strong negative words regarding Obama’s belief that same sex marriage is ok and all I could think was, “Who gives a crap what Bristol Palin thinks?” Aside from having a baby out of wedlock and losing on some TV reality show, what has she done that anyone should pay attention to anything she thinks or says?
