WHEN I'M 64
by Richard Day 3/27/2014 - 5:36 pm
I was thinking about the question “why”?
My granddaughter is about to be two years of age in a couple of months and in a couple of months I shall be 64.
WHEN I'M 64!
So I have constructed a scenario where I might read to her from Homer or whatever without pix and without media!
And she will not sit on my lap!
Why do you like me?
Well I have many reasons why I like you, but today I will give you five reasons why I like you!
Five.
Do you know five? [Read more]

Dems Are Dogs, Repubs Are Cats: An Allegory?
by flowerchild 3/23/2014 - 2:39 pm
So, I'm in the kitchen. All four dogs are in the kitchen with me. It's morning and that means it's time for cookies. The dogs all know this and they do not let it slip my mind. Ever.
All four furry dog butts are planted on the tiled floor in a row, all four tails going back and forth like they are competing in a synchronized tail wagging contest. Their expectant looks always make me smile and this scene is always the perfect way to start my day. [Read more]

tanka haiku: When snow turns to ice,
and bitter winds sting my face,
I think of baseball.
For Spring is getting nearer

The Ballad of Baby and Klepto Ray
by jollyroger 1/30/2014 - 9:02 pm
In March of 2009, Baby had just flown cross-country from visiting her sister in Seattle, bringing a rubbing of Jimi Hendrix's headstone, and a nice chunk of hash which she had tucked into a private place available only to ladies. While she and I were upstairs at the farm enjoying some quality time, our then host, Ray, pocketed the hash. Naturally she went nuts thinking she had simply lost it, and finally left the farm to return home. Ray proudly produced the hash. I told him I was gonna tell Baby he had it so she wouldn't feel like an incompetent nutjob.

Medical pot measure could boost Fla. Democrats
The election in Florida is going to be interesting not only because of Charley Crist rebid for Governor but because Medial Marijuana on the ballot. Question now is this really going to increase democrat voters? Majority is in favor of it.
Party operatives are pushing a constitutional amendment that would make Florida the first state in the South to legalize some pot use. Polls show the measure has widespread public support, and it's particularly popular among young voters — a critical part of the Democratic coalition with historically weak turnout in non-presidential election years....

Marsha Blackburn Says the GOP Isn't Sexist Because of...
I guess it is time to saddle-up another goat for the GOP 2016 rodeo.
BOB SCHIEFFER: There was a lot of debate on that last week. Finally, Republicans blocked it in the Senate. Are Republicans against equal pay for women? And is that going to be a good political issue in these coming midterm elections?

Bacon Shortage? Mysterious Virus Kills Piglets, Threatens...
This article is 7 days old but it is worth the read about a virus epidemic in pigs. Most effected are the corporate pig farms. It is going to cause a shortage of pork and bacon and the prices will be going up. We are at a 60 year low in the production of beef because of the drought.
The U.S. is both a top producer and exporter of pork, but production could decline about 7 percent this year compared to last — the biggest drop in more than 30 years, according to a recent report from Rabobank, which focuses on the food, beverage and agribusiness industries.
