30 October 06 - 06:30Major BM - It's Official

Simulated Rugby with Simulated RockI didn't want everyone to get too excited too fast, but we have not one but *TWO* poops from Rugby dog.  One poop was certified by Marla and I personally certified the second poop, not only in structure, but in execution.  I wanted to make sure there was no mistake regarding the quality of the defication.

The execution of the poop event included the usual doggy pooping posture and there were noises emitted.  I suspect that the reason for this unusual farting is the fact that the doggy plumbing has been repaired.  The gaseous noises did not lower the quality of the stool, however, which was rich brown and well formed.

Simulated Rugby Poop on Simulated GrassNext week the staples come out.  That will be nice.  Also, the doggy has started feeling like a dog again.  For the last week Rugby has felt like a skeleton in a tote bag.

Keep your fingers crossed

29 October 06 - 07:28Let them eat Cake!!

Lost in SpaceI love my Honey, but sometimes its like she lives in a parallel universe to mine.  Now its not that I don't sometimes make her feel that way about me, that isn't the brief topic here today.

Rugby is eating soft things while recuperating.  One of the things we found he liked was stewed chicken since we had made some for dinner and we fed him small scraps we cut up and softened between our fingers.

Marla noted his liking and saved the remainder of the breast for him.  I noted the absense of the other remains in the refrigerator.  Deciding this might be one last thing to feed Rugby while he recovers I cooked another chicken in a pot.  Once done I fed the tiny dog most of a thigh and drumstick all at one time.  He was hungry and liked it a lot. I was amazed he would eat so much at one time.

I told Marla what he ate.  Marla marveled, "You fed him dark meat?"

28 October 06 - 12:36Stories Like Dad used to Make

Tin Can Man at Alibris.comGrowing up in the 60's I grew up in a house with Mom, Dad, and two brothers.  My parents met each other through friends while in the navy in the latter days of WWII.  Both my Mom and Dad would tell my brothers and I stories of their lives before we were born, of the navy, and of their families.

One of the things that I always enjoyed about the stories my dad told.  Even though he was in some of the active areas of the Pacific war the stories he told were always about people and interesting things that happened.  his stories were never about blood and guts, just stories about people and what they did from day to day to get along and keep their lives in order.  Most of the stories were humorous in nature.

That sort of story telling is what I found in a book recently. Tin Can Man is written by Emory Jernigan about his life in the Navy.  He spent most of WWII on the Saufly, a destroyer.  Destroyers were a ship about the length of an entire football field, including the endzones.  Destroyers in WWII were armed with small cannons, torpedoes, depth charges, and over 300 men.

It's the story of the men with which "Tin Can Man" Jernigan fills the pages of his book.  Most of the stories are funny, many are heart warming, some about the human responses to war, and very little regarding the strategy of warfare.  With Jernigan, its all about the sailers and their daily lives, whether it was the distractions of shore liberty or how to deal with the "flutter willies" during an attack.

The book was published 13 years ago and is out of print, but you can get used copies at places like "alibris.com" or used book stores.  You might not rush down to get a copy, but as for me, it is like hearing my Dad tell new stories about how to get along and how things work.  

Here is a link to Alibris if you want to try the book.  I use Alibris all the time as it seems I buy more used books than new ones.  Depending on your taste in used books you can get your very own copy for less than $4.00.  Super quality first editions cost more.

27 October 06 - 12:12Another Blonde Joke

BlondeA blonde gets home early from shopping and hears strange noises coming from the bedroom. She rushes upstairs to find her husband naked on the bed, sweating and out of breath.

"What's up?" she asks.

"I'm having a heart attack," pants the husband.

The blonde rushes downstairs to grab the phone, but just as she's dialing, her four-year-old son comes up and says, "Mommy! Mommy! Aunt Shirley is hiding in your closet, and she's got no clothes on!"

The blonde slams the phone down and storms upstairs into the bedroom, right past her husband, and rips open the closet door. Sure enough, there is her sister, totally naked and cowering on the closet floor.

"You rotten bitch," she screams. "My husband's having a heart attack, and you're running around naked scaring the kids!!

(Very funny!)

26 October 06 - 20:09Seemingly Better

RugbyRugby is getting better.  He is eating his "medicine food" from the vet (Marla fools him into thinking it is a "treat").  Better yet, the food seems to be generating poop, the desired effect.  At the vet today Marla asked when we could expect the blessed "first poop after bowel surgery."  The doctor had an answer after a simple test.

Taking a small diameter stick and using it as a dip stick, the doctor predicted a BM within 24 hours.

It is so nice to know that the real deal is on the way..

Anyway, he seems to be getting better, ears are working, etc.  Wish him well.

26 October 06 - 08:15Making a Place for yourself in the World

DVD John"Finish school, make something of yourself" is a statement which usually applies. However, some of the genius category people can't get through it.  Jon Lech Johansen, for example, never finished school, but is brilliant when it comes to reverse engineering software.  Jon is a Norwegian computer hacker who is currently living in California.

Jon has been the bane of sellers of copyrighted material.  He decoded DVD copy protection a few years back and now he claims to have broken the "Fairplay" copy protection system used by Apple's iPod music player.

Johanson tricks iPods into thinking they are playing tracks bought from Apple's online iTunes store. His accomplishment could possibly unlock all 68 million iPod music players now on the streets.  Currently the iPod is only able to play music taken from CDs or purchased directly from iTunes.

In the past when others have come up with ways to circumvent Apple's system, Apple managed to make changes to the "Fairplay" system which counteracted these methods. Jon indicates his process won't have those issues.

A while back the French crabbed about Apple's proprietary system and threatened court action.  No action ensued.  No execution problems with Jon.  This Norwegian dude just does it.  I like that.

Just DO IT!!  Go Baby!

23 October 06 - 19:11On the way to recovery

Rugby the DogRugby has returned to the house after his surgery.  He is feeling better, but not out of the woods yet, according to the doctors.  He has started eating a little bit and hopefully will keep it down.

The doctors have all said that the dog needs to eat for his resected little bowel to heal.  I guess when an organ's job is to move poop from one end of the animal to the other, it's best for it to get back to moving things along.

Note in the picture that the doc left the IV connection on his leg.  He just sort of taped it up in case he has a relapse.  Let's hope the next trip to the vet is to have the IV thing removed.

The best thing is his ears have started wiggling again.

I'll keep you up to date.

22 October 06 - 22:34Doggy Emergency

Lava RockThings have been pretty busy.  You all remember Rugby Dog and Anabel Dog.  Tonight Rugby Dog is in the animal hospital.  Late Thursday night or early Friday morning he started acting sick.  Marla had to carry him to the sink many times as he tried to barf.

The next day Marla took him to the vet.  The vet took his temperature and said to wait for him to get better and feed him soft food.  By Saturday morning he was not barfing any more until around noon when he tried to drink water.  By 9:00 PM Saturday we had taken him to the emergency room at the Doggy General Hospital.

The nice lady vet listened as Marla described the barfing and listless behavior.  Also the emergency room vet was told that the diarrhea originally predicted by the regular doc never materialized.  Rugby also kept holding himself in a funny position with his butt in the air or on his back with a back leg in the air. This was also discussed.Simulated X-ray of the Lava Rock

An x-ray was ordered and an object appeared on the developed film.  The object and a large stack of money are going to have to come out, we were told.  As the armored car delivering the money drove away and the money counted to make sure it was all there, Rugby was rushed to surgery. The object was found to be a lava rock.  There are jillions of these things in our back yard.  Apparently the little mite decided to eat one.

Rugby is still in the animal hospital with shorter intestines and a large stapled incision on his tummy.  First he has to survive the operation, done.  Next the first 48 hours....  Monday night.  Then 7 days - next Saturday.  5% of the little guys that have intestines operated on don't make it, so it is a time to watch and pray for the little doggy.

More later.

19 October 06 - 08:15Getting Ahead

Blue PajamasA man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey I have been asked to go fishing up in Canada with my boss & several of his friends. We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting so could you please pack enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and tackle box? We're leaving from the office. I'll swing by the house to pick my things up.....  Oh! And, please pack my new blue pajamas."

The wife thinks this sounds a bit fishy but being the good wife she does exactly what her husband asked.

The following weekend he came home a little tired but otherwise looking good. The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish?

He says, "Yes! Lots of Walleye' some Blue gill, and a few Pike. But why didn't you pack my new blue pajamas like I asked you to do?

The wife replies, "I did, they're in your tackle box."

17 October 06 - 14:43A 3-D Experiential Employment Test

brick_test

Employment Test

How to match job applicants to appropriate positions...

Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates into the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours. Then analyze the situation:

  • If they are counting the bricks, put them in the accounting department.
  • If they are recounting them, put them in auditing.
  • If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in engineering.
  • If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in planning.
  • If they are throwing the bricks at each other, put them in operations.
  • If they are sleeping, put them in security.
  • If they have broken the bricks into pieces, put them in information technology.
  • If they are sitting idle, put them in human resources.
  • If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved, put them in sales.
  • If they have already left for the day, put them in marketing.
  • If they are staring out of the window, put them in strategic planning.
  • If they are talking to each other, and not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them in top management.
  • Finally, if they have surrounded themselves with bricks in such a way that they can neither be seen nor heard from, put them in Congress.

You may have heard this before, but what the heck.  It made me laugh!!

16 October 06 - 12:37My Honey's Birthday

My Honey's BirthdayToday is Marla's birthday.  Mostly we celebrated it yesterday since Ashlyn was home.  We usually don't make a real big deal out of birthdays, but Marla did get some Marla things for her birthday.

Ashlyn got her some nice perfume, Anabel got her some Grey's Anatomy DVDs, Rugby got her some Desperate Housewives DVDs, and the nice husband got her a television set for the kitchen with a DVD player in it.

The Honey can now sit in the kitchen, smelling like a rose, watching old episodes of her favorite television shows.

Happy birthday, My Honey.

Later!!

15 October 06 - 11:43Off to the Wedding

The Happy CoupleThere was a time in my life that I didn't like to go to public things.  By public things I mean weddings, funerals, concerts, and the like.  However, I am looking forward to going to a wedding today.  It's not only that I want to see the happy couple, in fact, I see them every week and it makes me happy.  The extra special part is the everyone else that I will get to see that I have missed over the past whenever.

The part I don't like should go quickly enough.  That's the sitting and listening to the vows, the marching to the music, and the reception line.  That's a small price to pay to give my respects to the happy couple and see friends that I haven't seen in weeks or months. Plus, technically it probably could not be called a wedding without these things.

And, oh yes, the lovely Marla will be with me.  She is actually shopping for things to make her look more lovely right now.  And my favorite daughter will be there as well.

Right now, however, I have to go and buy some dog food.  Anabel is running short of diet dog food.  Its another day in the life.

Stay tuned.

10 October 06 - 08:05Religion of Love

Amish Horse and CarriageA glaring comparison of religious methods.  On the one hand take your average Muslim.  Do they preach death and deceit?  Certainly.  It is a religion that condones lieing to those of us who are not Muslim.  For example, contrary to Muslim propoganda, that the translation of Islam means "peace," the reality is that the word Islam means "Submission."  A little white lie to further the cause should certainly be justified. Redefining the word Islam is an attempt to deceive people about the real nature of Islam.  

Do they fly airplanes into our buildings and plot to kill us?  Absolutely.  Is that peaceful?  Of course not.

Do certain Muslim leaders preach hate against America?  Death to America?  Yes they do.  They chant it and shout it and believe that we are to be hated because we are of the devil, or so I hear.

Which way do Muslims swing?  Who knows.  As Muslims they can tell you whatever they want about their religion.  Think about what they show us.  Watch what they do.

On the other end of the religious spectrum are the Amish.  Five of their women were killed by a gunman who also took his own life in an act of senseless craziness.  The Amish response?  Representatives of their faith attended the funeral of the killer.  They not only preach love and forgiveness, they personify it and practice it.

When it comes to setting a good example and representing God (Muslims call God Allah) it seems that God must certainly be much more proud of the Amish who attended the funeral out of love and concern for the crazy man who killed their own as opposed to the Muslims who attack the US and its citizens at every chance.

Should the US respond to the Muslims like the Amish did to the killer?  Of course not.  The United States is not a Theocracy.  We are a Democracy and our government seperates matters of state security from the religious beliefs of the citizenry.

My hat is off to the Amish who are truely showing that God means love and that the blessing of love is much more powerful than "submission."  I think that Mohammed must have gotten his wires crossed when he was receiving his visions.  Something bad is happening with the Muslim religion.  At least we could hear outrage from Muslims for the behavior of the supposed few.  It really makes me wonder what they really believe.  Remember, fibbing is fine when you are a Muslim explaining your religion to a kafir like you or me.

09 October 06 - 07:55Two Points - One Article

PattonI received an email attributing this article to Pam Foster of Pamela Foster and Associates in Atlanta.  That's not true, Snopes points us in the direction of Doug Patton, a conservative writer.  The unedited article as written by Doug last year follows below.

The piece by Doug Patton is an example of why I believe very little of the news I hear these days if there is any chance of political motivation since it seems the liberal media thinks it is OK to lie to make a point.  In addition to the Tim Russert example below, you might remember Newsweek fabricating an article regarding handling of the Koran. It was that event that inspired Doug Patton to write this article.

Ask Me if I Care About 'Mishandling' of Koran - By Doug Patton - June 6, 2005

First, Newsweek pulled a Dan Rather on us, running a fabricated story just because they wanted it to be true. They told the world that an American guard at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention center had ripped pages from a prisoner's Koran and flushed it down a toilet. As a result, innocent people died when practitioners of Islam rioted in protest in Afghanistan.

Oops, said Newsweek, it seems we can't back up our story. Oh well, it's probably true; we just can't prove it. (Isn't it convenient for Newsweek that the media now have "Deep Throat" to talk about so they can revel in their glory days and divert our attention from their criminal negligence.)

The lie heard round the world about the flushed Koran has caused convulsions in the Bush Administration and forced the Pentagon to launch an investigation of unfounded allegations contained in an unsubstantiated story. The results of said investigation are now in, and it seems there are at least five incidents of "mishandling" of the Koran at Gitmo.

Well, guess what? I don't care!

Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.

I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling, slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.

I'll care when Clinton-appointed judges stop ordering my government to release photos of the abuses at Abu Ghraib, which are sure to set off the Islamic extremists just as Newsweek's lies did a few weeks ago.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest assured that I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and -- you guessed it -- I don't care!

08 October 06 - 07:07Make a Senior Happy!

Bye MomA guy shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept  staring at him.

The lady finally overtook him at the checkout, turned to him and said, "I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease; it's just that you look so much like my late son."

He answered, "That's okay."

"I know it's silly," She continued, "but if you'd call out 'Good bye, Mom' as I leave the  store, it would make me feel so happy."

She then went through the checkout and as she was on her way out of the store, the man called out, "Goodbye, Mother."

The little old lady waved and smiled back at him.

Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, he went to pay for his groceries.

"That comes to $121.85," said the clerk.

"How come so much? I only bought 5 items.."

The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said you'd pay for her things, too."

07 October 06 - 11:47Tim Russert - Former Role Model

Tim Russert - Meet the PressHere is a guy I really used to respect.  He always seemed so knowledeable and balanced in his reporting.  Although I rarely watch "Meet the Press" I often watch "the Today Show" when I am getting ready for work.  At times they call on Tim as an internal potilical expert.  Lately his views have seemed less insightful and more canned.

For your information, I do not like the news reporting on the Today Show, I find them biased and shallow in their reporting.  I do like their format and presentation, however.  Unfortunately Tim has now become one of the talking heads on the Today Show when they call on him for shallow backup to thier idiotic reporting.

I am waiting for the day when news reporting, again, becomes a profession I respoct.

Here is some "bad news" about Tim's reporting and some insight into how our newspeople manipulate the news to suit their own viewpoints which are somewhat more liberal than mine.

A warning, although this article is not highly technical in nature, you do have to read with care to correctly follow the story.  This site is new to me, so I can't tell you what I think overall about its accuraccy.  This article at Newsbusters is straightforward and accurate, however.

05 October 06 - 23:25Red Rover, Red Rover, Send Stover Right Over

StoverToday was an interesting day.  I had intended to go to work at the office, get a few things caught up, and head for Houston.  Instead, I got home at 9:30 and never did head south...

For a mini-project we are doing at work, we needed a bale of stover.  Stover is the part of a corn plant that is left after you remove the cobs of corn.  It is stalks and leaves and husks.  In the pictures you can see how corn stover comes about. First the corn grows, then it is harvested, then a machine makes big round bales.  Big round bales that can weigh half a ton.  Corn stover.  Big bales.  Half a ton.

After driving around for a couple of hours I had my stover sighted, except it turned out to be milo stalks.  These stalks are simiar to corn, but for our purposes we needed the real deal.

hauling Stover

Finally we see some workers moving stover bales.  We buy one and put it on the trailer we have been pulling around and zoom off.  Use the pictures to guess what happens to a stover bale when it falls on the ground.  Pooof!!

Ooopy Pooopy

After getting the second bale (we had already traveled miles and were almost done when the blessed event occured) it was a late one getting home.

Have a nice day, ya'll.

04 October 06 - 23:26Support those who do what is Right

ApplebeesTonight we had planned on eating at home, but during my drive I heard that illegals from another country think Applebees and Dunkin' Donuts should be boycotted.  Lawbreakers from another country or countries who have the nerve to brazenly not only thumb their noses at our fat lazy lawmakers and police forces, but at all of us.  (More on lazy police later, these guys are incredible.)

In order to support Applebees we went to dinner there tonight.  I have not been to Applebees in years.  It was a pleasure, they have a great menu.

Next stop, Dunkin' Donuts,

04 October 06 - 01:09Chavez is still the one to Watch

Chavez the magfooficent.I told you to watch this guy last month.  Have you been paying attention to him?  He is way way up there on the goofiness scale.  Now for the latest.  You have probably heard that Citgo is an American-based, yet Venezuelan-owned company.

Guess who shows up on their website.  Yup, Chavez.

This is the guy that called Bush the Devil.  Bush may not be much of a public speaker, he may come across a bit, well, off at times.  However, he is definately not the devil.

This guy has also called Bush a "spokesman of imperialism" trying "to preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation and pillage of the peoples of the world."

He also called us (that's right, you and I) wasteful in our use of energy.  Additionally he thinks Bush has a contract killer out to get him.  The guy is not worth a bullet, let alone a contract.

I'll boycott Citgo, the company from Chavez country.  Hell, why not.  The last time I got gas at Citgo was a long time ago.  I think they may be at some of the 7-11 stores, but I really don't remember the last one I saw.

Watch this guy.  Read more:

03 October 06 - 21:39A day in the Life of the USPS

NutsA vet goes to the U.S. Post Office to apply for a job.

The interviewer asks, "Have you ever been in the service?"

"Yes," answers the applicant, "I was in Vietnam for three years."

"That will give you extra points toward employment." says the interviewer, and then asks, "Are you disabled in any way?"

The guy repies, "Yes, I was injured when a mortar exploded, which caused me to lose my testicles."

The interviewer looks up, "In that case, I can hire you right now. The hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. You can start tomorrow. Come in at 10:00 A.M."

Puzzled, the new hire asks, "If the hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. then why would I come in at 10:00?"

"Well, for the first two hours we all stand around scratching our nuts... No point in you showing up for that."

02 October 06 - 22:51What does Love Mean?

I Love UI found a few variations of this on the web.  This form of the text was forwarded to me from a friend.  Remember, consider this an electronic gift.  In cases like these, it's the thought that counts.
