Me on Sundays:

I didn't hit one damn number in the lottery drawing last night.

Sometimes I think it's a waste of time, but...

You can't win if you don't play.

I just think of it as my retirement fund.

Notre Dame and Butler in colleges, my alma matter in the high school tournament.

I hope my lottery numbers do better tonight!

I always chuckle a bit whenever we get a new President and half the people start saying: "He's not MY President!"

Right or wrong, he IS. What are you going to do... live your life for 4 years without a leader?

The earliest President I remember was Eisenhower. I've seen good and bad since, and though I don't always agree with their politics, one thing remains true:

They were and now ARE my President and I would, should I have to, take a bullet for them. It is out of respect for the office... not the (sometimes) man.

There. Case closed. Anything else you want to bitch about?

...another WTF? moment:

Driving along a country road, when I approach the top of a hill. A brief YIKES rush when I start to go airborne because the hill drops straight down!

Regaining my composure (and the road), I start to brake, because the road is flooded at he bottom of the hill.

As the water rises up towards the windows of my car, I wonder if I can make it across without stalling out. And then...

I wake up!

As we used to say when I was a kid:

FAR OUT!

???

March Madness! The state tournament started Tuesday here in Indiana for high schools, and the NCAA college tournament is right around the corner.


RAH!

Warm with rain on the way.

What... you were expecting something pithy?

Saturday was a bad day weather-wise. Cold, snowy and a walloping wind, so I decided to stay in and just relax. Today was sunny and around 44 degrees, and I thought I might go out for a bit.

WRONG!

My battery decided to take a dive on me for no reason. Not a click, not even a rrrr-rrrr.

So I walked to the closest auto parts store and bought myself a micro boost portable power booster. You charge it up, then attach it like jumper cables.

First I have to charge the lithium battery, then I'll be good to go. After I start the car, I'll be making a bee-line for the closest battery store to test my battery and buy a new one if needed.

(sighs)

BTW... it also charges mobile phones, tablets and has a built in flashlight. For almost $100.00 it had better.

Better living through new technology, eh?

The blog of Artistic today got me to thinking...

I wonder how many times I've chatted with a woman online and watched the "relationship" dissolve because I asked them to produce proof of who they are.

I've talked with women from all over the world, and the lasting friendships are the ones who had no trouble producing verification of who they really are.

When I got my first pc 17 years ago I was honest and trusting... and thought everyone else on the internet was as well. Didn't take long to figure THAT one out! lol

So very, very sad to come to the realization that so many people are so insecure that they can't be honest with even one person... a person who accepts people based on the truth. How shallow the majority of the people really are today.

Insecure? I am to a degree. But as the old "philosopher" once said: "I yam what I yam." I might tweak that and say (proudly) warts and all.

Rant is done... thank you for your time, y'all.
