I’m a diabetic now so all I can do is dream about the handfuls of candy corn I used to gulp down without a second thought. Would that some candy manufacturer could find a way to make sugar free candy corn. Now there’s someone I could salute.
Stop me, please stop me
OK, now I’m begging. Please stop me before I go into a Costco again. Do an intervention. Tackle me at the one yard line. Take my car keys away. Hell, take my car away. But stop me.
And now, the question that must be asked. Does anyone out there need 300 sponges?
Most scary face
Quick…for Halloween…most scary face….Dick Cheney smiling or Barbara Bush with any expression?
The cleats are back on
It must be winter. My studded snow tires AND the cleats for my shoes are both back in daily use. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have the snow without the ice? the cold without the frigid cold? the dark season with some light? But then again, if we had those things, what would Alaskans have to bitch/brag about?
It’s the battery, stupid
My wireless mouse started acting all ragged and jerky. It kept freezing up the minute I wasn’t using it. So I cleaned out the contact points, reloaded the software, muttered about people who might have used my computer while I was out and downloaded something that was conflicting with it, decided that the MacGame I tried to buy had a virus and finally resorted to beating it on the table.

A friend who was visiting me noticed that some housing improvements happening next door were spilling over slightly onto my property. It was nothing that wouldn’t be removed when the work was done. But still, my friend felt that I should say something. I just smiled.
When this project first started, I watched the initial efforts from my office window. One day, my neighbor was using a loader to prepare the ground. His young son came out to watch, fascinated by the loud noise, big tires and giant scoop. He stood next to the cab of the machine and held
Who will win?
Our latest trial of corrupt politicians continues apace here while back in my childhood state of New Jersey, Atlantic City politicians fall faster than trees in the South American rain forests. Who will win? Which state will come out on top with the most corruption in public life? Will it be perennial favorite New Jersey, home of some of the best corruption this side of Russia? Or Alaska, that scrappy up and comer who is trying so hard to beat the old pros? Stay tuned. It can only get better.
Rudy Giuliani
I wonder how hard conservatives have to swallow to accept him as their front runner? HIlary Clinton better respresents their values. And that is sure a sign of the end of times.
Here’s an idea for the airlines
Do not serve a passenger 12 drinks before the dinner service on a flight and then act surprised when he passes out in the bathroom…especially if he is sitting next to me.
