I find it amusing that the NSA whistle blower has now fled from China to Russia. Yep, nothing like fleeing from one country known for its free press to a country even better known for its open atmosphere and vigorous press freedoms.
This can only lead to financial ruin
The first things I downloaded to my first ever iPad were Nook, Kindle and iReader. I foresee financial ruin in my future as I recreate on my iPad the library in my home that is now going to be so very, very portable. I no longer will have to choose which Dickens book to take on a trip with me. I can take them all!
I can almost guarantee this will get obnoxious
My amazingly wonderful godchild Emily, with technical assistance from an equally wonderful young man named Broneil, helped me buy an iPad. And lo and behold what did I find but that it takes pictures. Not only does it take pictures, but its screen is actually big enough for me to see what I’m taking a picture of. I have learned the hard way to not touch the little camera icon that apparently turns the camera’s eye towards the taker. At my age, that’s just scary. No one should see themselves that up close and personal after hitting sixty unless they
Seems contradictory
The Supreme Court has decided that corporations cannot patent human genes. Yet the same Supreme Court has stated that corporations are human. So why can’t they patent their own genes?
Can I be the only one?
Can I really be the only person who worries that Cal Worthington is going to accidentally spit his dentures out in the middle of one of his commercial pitches?
Out! Out! Damned mosquito!
OK, let’s get one thing straight. If I’d wanted to have bright, hot sunshine for weeks in a row I’d have moved to Fairbanks or Hawaii or Mexico or, if I was really desperate, Florid. If I wanted to devote an hour every morning killing mosquitoes in my office before I could work, I’d have moved to a tropical forest. If I wanted to spend my time outdoors batting wildly at my head while screaming, “Get away from me, you beasts from hell” I’d have done a remake of “Bedlam”.
And I know I’m not alone. There are a lot
My apologies to the NSA
I realize my morning conversation was particularly boring today. I apologize that you had to listen. I will try to spice it up tomorrow.
Dog versus Machine
Some dogs view vacuum cleaners as the enemy, a scary and frightening beast to run from as quickly as possible. But not my Carm. My Carm views it as a rival for all the food my birds toss out of their cages. When I bring it out to sweep each morning and evening, he goes nuts trying to stay one step ahead of it so he can get to the food before the sweeper eats it. The sweeper always wins but my Carm never stops trying!

Just a thought…
I suspect that if Jesus and Mohammed were to return to earth, the first thing they’d do is put out a tweet that simply said, “Please stop killing people and using us as the excuse.”
There’s no saying no to that face
One of the newest members of our family.
Take one look at the expression on that baby’s face and tell me if anyone will ever dare say no to her.
Her grandfather doesn’t stand a chance.
