I Can Bring The Rain On Command !

I should have known, because I knew my joints allowed me to predict the rain and cold, but I realized today, I can bring the rains on command ! This ability was inate and I didn't know it. As a reader, you might wonder how I can do this. If you're a reader and a journalists, you will soon realize how correct I am.

The first thing that you need to know is that my entries are mostly spur of the moment and off the top of my head. Save some research for such things as current news and prepared research, the balance of every entry I make is straight from the hip and worse, no notes.

Keeping same in mine, the next situation I consider is a partial entry. I try not to do partial entries because quite a few readers and journalists have "alerts". This simply notifies one as new comments and entries are posted. Partial entries are disturbing as every time you save your work, alerts are sent again. It's sort of like the little boy who cried wolf.

Aha ! You're getting ahead of me ! So as I painstakingly make my entry, which sometimes entails upwards of an hour, I begin to hear rumblings in the distance and the room gets darker. A smarter person would save his work immediately, but unfortunately I live alone (except for Shithead, my cat).

Voila ! There you have it. Lightning strikes nearby, Shithead jumps three feet into the air, my computer screen goes blank and every curse word that I know, along with new ones I make at the moment, spew from my mouth. It matters not the time of entry. If rain is expected, it will come at the time I desire. All I have to do is make an entry !

Odds and Ends: Paris is now in the medical ward (which is much larger than her jail cell and has a private bath.... Britney was out and about last evening and although no one spotted her cat, she did managed to let one of the puppies out for a walk.... Whoopie Goldberg reportedly is the odds-on favorite to replace Rosie, the diesel truck driver. It's reported she'll get a year to year contract, which is what RO'FA wanted.... Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifono, who made misleading and disparraging remarks about the Duke La Crosse team in the renown rape case is being prosecuted for ethics violations and could be disbarred. Duh, he's an attorney !.... A television station in the United Kingdom has published pictures of the crash that killed Princess Diana and her boyfriend. althought the pictures do not show Princess Diana, the station ran the pictures, ignoring the pleas of Diana's sons and family. Paparazzi should be shot on sight and then the idiots who ran the pictures ! 

The Pictures: The wrath of Hurricane Katrina, my choice for president, a treed bear cub, my "special friends" and the "usual suspects".

This Date In History: 1630; John Winthrop, the newly selected governor of the Massachusetts Bay Company, lands at Salem. He will lead the colony for the next two decades. 1963; Cleopatra, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, premieres in New York City.

Birthdays: Anthony Eden, Earl of Avon, British statesman (1897), President George H.W. Bush (1924), Anne Frank, German-Jewish diarist who was killed by the Nazis (1929), Chick Corea, jazz pianist (1941).

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: YOU KNOW YOUR OLD WHEN:

A thirty year mortgage sounds like a clever scam. In a hostage sitiation, you are the person most likely tobe released first. The little gray haired lady that you help across the street is your wife. Getting a little action means you don't need a laxative. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them. Your asleep but your friends worry that you're dead !

That's it for today, my little pedal pushers. More tomorrow.

Stay Tuned !

Jimmy,
We need you here in Alabama!! We have had only a couple of short showers here where I live since the beginning of May! You and your joints (I'm assuming you are talking about the bone kind of joints...<grin>) need to make a visit! After your lightening strikes, I'm not sure Shithead would be up for the journey!  Loved the pics and I'm sure you wouldn't have to wear a t-shirt like your non-buddy!
