72% of Adult Drivers Text Message and Drive according to this story on Technobolg.

THIS IS SHOCKING: Almost 3/4 of people driving are not paying attention and at least this many prefer not to tell us where they are going by using their "indicator" or "blinker. " Bring it on MAD MAX. I think we have moved from defensive driving to offensive driving.

Pet Safety and Driving?

A few months back I caught this buxom (i.e.,bosomy) blonde driving with her Chihuahua in her top. I found a second lady, a buxom brunette on Flicker doing the same. Although, many men and some women as well, may secretly desire the same safety restraint, it is dangerous behavior behind the wheel.

Hint: Get up 10 minutes earlier and save a life - it may be your own (for people with no common decency)! I can't imagine getting into a fender bender and have an eyeliner pencil pierce my eye and lodge into my cerebrum...

Swine flu

2009-04-27T08:26:00.002-07:00

I am sure that many of you have been following the recent outbreak of Swine flu in the United States and Mexico.

A friend was asked a great question this morning that concerned this issue. The question is, "Should I put away my community share bowl with trail mix in it due to this outbreak?" In bordering on the side of caution and weighing my answer against information related to me via the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website, I think that putting away community foods is a good idea. Many people refuse to wash their hands or just use water. Be safe-not sorry!

This is the link for CDC "Swine Influenza" http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/

Remember to wash your hands often, cough and sneeze into a tissue that gets immediately thrown in the trash, and if you are feeling like you have the flu STAY HOME...

Symptoms or emergency warning signs which need urgent medical attention are:

Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
Sudden dizziness
Confusion
Severe or persistent vomiting

America, this place is messed up!

2009-02-01T07:51:00.005-07:00

The forty-fourth man has been in office and in-charge less than thirty days, give the man a break.

President Obama's biggest challenge, in my opinion, is when "Hope" is left to the imagination of the masses, each individual with their own personal agenda, each with their own definition of what success looks like. How does anyone deliver it all? They don't deliver it all, it is impossible.

Remember the quote: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."

Abraham Lincoln, (attributed)
16th president of US (1809 - 1865)

I am sure Mr. Obama will make many changes for the better and also some which I am personally against (especially when I have to pay for it), but I am hopeful that when all is said and done, and the dust settles on his reign, we will all count it for good.

These are hard times, but America is still the land of opportunity!

2009-01-04T09:38:00.003-07:00

Drinking Coffee
I thoroughly enjoy getting up before the sun, grinding freshly, roasted coffee beans and preparing a hot pot of coffee. Oh, the wonderful smell of coffee, first thing in the morning! I then sit back quietly sipping hot coffee from my favorite mug as I watch the sun rise over the mountain and then I start my day.

I never want to take this time for granted!

"Hommage, the Parisian purveyor of luxury grooming equipment, skincare and spa services for men, has created a limited edition, platinum-sheathed straight razor using the same ancient layering techniques as the Crusaders' swords, for $30,000. Called the Damascene Razor, the blade is hand-forged in Germany with 128 layers of legendary Damascene steel, with a rose and torsion pattern. The sheath is plated in pure platinum, treated to resist tarnishing."

2008-10-13T16:54:00.004-07:00

Interestingly enough, I actually over heard a couple talking about the candidates as being Satan and the Anti-Christ!

These candidates are good, but not that good... I would hope the devil is way better looking.

This of course implies that John McCain is Satan and Barrack Obama is his son. Either way we lose... However, if this is the end times, you do realize, "YOU" have been left behind!

Even though this is a political myth, be safe: Vote Libertarian!

Who was the bright organizer of Cinco de Mayo? Urban legend seems to counter the culture and blame Corona.

Although I did not participate in any of the festivities, it makes one go "Hmmmm!" Monday night celebrations and Corona and lime, can only make for a difficult time, on Tuesday morning.

Lets change this holiday to Friday or Viernes de Mayo!We might even call it "Viernes."

52 celebrations a year is better than just 1.

Gas Mask and Driving

2008-04-27T06:24:00.002-07:00

What Were You Doing When You Should Have Been Driving?

Wearing a gas mask and driving!

So I drive up next to this guy who happens to be wearing a gas mask and driving. Let's talk about freaking out! I was looking all around. My head was turning around like the girl in the exorcist. Quick clarification! No projectile vomiting. I was searching the sky for some weird mushroom cloud or purple haze. I was definitely confused and distracted. I have never seen anything like this, "Why is this guy wearing a gas mask?"

After entertaining multiple reasons I finally came to the conclusion, he must be suffering from allergies! It is still weird if you ask me.

Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas

2008-04-18T06:59:00.003-07:00

We just spent a few days at the Cliffs over Possum Kingdom (PK) Lake in Texas. Absolutely gorgeous!

I am thinking about offering some professional and executive training at the Cliffs Golf Resort. What better place to get away, learn something new, golf and fish?

Absolutely gorgeous!

Let the Games Begin!

Since when were the odds ever even?

Go Ahead and Drink the Water!

2008-04-02T05:07:00.006-07:00

I suppose water purity is an ambiguous word. What is water purity? or for that matter, what is love? All I know is my vision of drinking ice cold fresh water from a trickling stream has totally changed in it's meaning.

I envision the band 4 Non Blondes singing, What's Up..."Hey! What's going on?"

What's in your water?(USA)
(International) and (safewater).

All I can say is, "Dirty and nasty, but necessary." Hmmm!

Barrak Obama & John McCain Turn-it-up a Notch

2008-03-30T06:15:00.006-07:00

Male Bonding? Showing a little love.

Barrack and John step up to the presidential challenge! Sending a clear message to Hillary that they are "in the race for the long haul."
This race really has turned into a skin issue. The epidermis is starting to show (a little too much).

Earlier, I overheard one of Hillary's advisers requesting to bring back the mini skirt. Bill Clinton was seen nodding profusely and saying, "Yes dear, I totally agree, it is necessary."Afterwards, we could not confirm, but it sounded like Bill Clinton let out a "Yabba Dabba Do" under his breath. These are things which makes one go Hmmmm. What was that.

Hillary Clinton Wins Democratic Ticket

2008-03-29T12:12:00.004-07:00

The Beasts have been Released!

The winning ticket has been released. Hillary rallies "Bra Burners" in Washington D.C. and around the globe to win the Democratic ticket. John McCain and Barrack Obama were worried about Hillary releasing the secret weapons, but she did. See yah lads!

Vote for Pedro!

2008-03-27T07:02:00.003-07:00

Voting?

"Hey! The guys T-Shirt said, 'Vote for Pedro' But I don't see Pedro on the ballot..."

Vote other! Write-in Pedro.

The Grim Ripper "Halfway to Ten"

2008-03-25T03:53:00.003-07:00

The Grim Ripper is back! Halfway to hanging Ten!
Looking for big warm waves? Head to Indonesia to the most wonderful place on earth: a place called Bali.

Surfing Uluwatu or Padang Padang will do nicely!

Why Teenage Drivers Pay High Insurance Rates!

2008-03-22T09:32:00.004-07:00

What Were You Doing When You Should Have Been Driving?

Ever wonder why teenage drivers pay such high insurance rates? Wonder no more... This son-of-a-gun should be in a circus, not behind the wheel of a car!
