Dumber
Just when you thought Bill O' Reilly couldn't be or look any dumber ... bingo, he proves you wrong.
Happened to have caught the YouTube video of Chris Dodd handing the Billster his hat, coat and shoes and sending out the door on the "Factor" the Falafel King's own spew-show on the FauxNews network.
Dodd may be the 'darkhorse of the darkhorses' for the presidential nominee among the Democrats but he does articulate well and that frustrated the stammering baffoon (or is that baboon ... no that'd be an insult to the baboon), to no end.
Slide on over the YouTube and check it out.

Wild Women
The Mrs., is going to be out of state for the weekend so I asked Mac Duff if he knew any "wild women" we could call for a weekend long party because it was just us 'bachelors' for three days.
He just gave me a dumb look that said "I dunno" and licked my hand, which was surprising given that he is such a lover with the ladies.
So, I guess it's old movies or a good book with Mac Duff curled up under my arm since his 'mommy' won't be here for him to curl up on her left breast like he likes to do.
Of course we could always get on down to the river and jump in with Seamus and Angus and the four of us 'single guys' hoot and hollar at the girls on the water like idiots ... as quite a few do around here ... never heard the line "Show us your tits" so much , even at Bike rallys, than I do when I go down to the river.
Yep, the dogs and I are going to have a Mrs., free weekend.
Things could be interesting.

57 Corvette
Just bought a Canary Yellow with White inlays 1957 Corvette to go along with my Cherry Red and Pearl Green with White inlays and Silver with Red inlays 1957 Corvettes! Only cost me $19 for it to boot!
Too bad it's only 1/26th scale die cast model like the rest of them dagburnit!
I collect cars ... yes the real ones too ... and I love finding a good bargain on either the real McCoy or a die cast scale model - trouble is I have had to build places to put them on a regular basis ... a shelf or cabinet is one thing but a garage is another undertaking all together ... right now it's a shelf or a cabinet, tomorrow ...

Gas From Bacteria
Gas from Bacteria?!
A new company LS9 out of San Carlos, California in pioneering the use of bacteria to produce the hydrocarbons to replace petroleum derived hydrocarbons we are so dependent upon in our society.
While this is nothing new to the bacteria ... they've been producing hydrocarbons for hundreds of millions of years ... it is the aim of the company to stimulate the varying types of bacteria to produce increased quantities and presumably higher quality hydrocarbons which we could then use in lieu of gasoline.
Don't think they have thought of the Greenhouse Gases being released so much as they have the possibilities of a truly unlimited resource of fuel ... unlimited as long as there are bacteria that is.
The other question I have is how are they planning to 'contain' the mutated bacteria they produce because some of the good ol'garden variety bacteria ain't too healthful to start with.

Warning Labels
There are those who are continually attempting to ban, forbid or censor what others read or at the very least segregate and place warning labels on the material so that only "Adults" can read them. The one piece of work they never want to see labeled is the one in most need of such 'labeling'. Click on the picture to enlarge it and see what the label should say that should be on this work of fiction.

H2O to the rescue!
With the discovery of a large underground lake in the Darfur region of Sudan, water may be the solution to the conflict in that arid region.
Boston University researchers say with the Sudanese government's permission (which has been given), 1000 wells will be dug in the region.
Read the entire story on the BBC.

Latest Roper Poll
The latest
Roper Poll
shows a surprising number
of Americans (at least surprising to the Prunella Prudes and Pearcy Prigsniffs out there), are O.K., with nude recreation ... 80% of them are.
51 million have been skinny-dipping in mixed gender groups. More have been skinny-dipping in single gender groups.
Research shows 4 in 10 households in America are 'nude' households were nudity is not thought of one way or the other whether one was nude or not with 70% of those being 'nudist/naturist' households were being clothed is the oddity.
So, much for Prunella and Pearcy and their Dramatica hysterium. Their fantasy world is just that a fantasy world where all are as screwed up as they are.
Reality is a bitch sometimes Prunella and Pearcy.
Go ahead be naked it won't hurt you and it just might help you.
And I Quote
Not all Greek runners in the first Olympics were totally naked.
Some wore shoes!
Some wore shoes!

Poem
Portraits In Lavender
Tall stand the Mighty Trees
n'er bending to the Howling Winds
over the Far Horizon's Seas
where the World begins and ends.
Echoes amid the Stones there
sound the final Throes of Man.
Lest the Tempest regain beware
castles upon Shore's shifting sand.
Down on broken bended knees
faithless to the Rills and Fens
pleading for the end, the final Peace
the Survivor knows Destiny wins.
Seen through Portraits in lavender,
Lost Lore and the Magic of Man
burst brilliantly before him there
eyes blinded to the Outreached Hand.

Confused By Something
I was reading another forum and one new poster posted their perplexing and mystical internal debate as to why ...
Whereas, there is a society called the "Barefoot Society", and as the name implies its members go about their daily lives unshod but otherwise fully clothed; yet there is a society called the "Naturist Society", in which its members go about their daily lives sans raiment, shod in varying types of 'footwear', but are otherwise nude.
From a philosophical perspective it is a good question ... one worth further debate and development.
From a practical standpoint it is quite logical why someone who is nude may opt for some type of footwear ... The places available for them to be nude outdoors are limited and usually in hard to reach places and over less than congenial ground surfaces at times as well. The feet be delicate and stuff.

P.F. Chang's
The Mrs., and I had lunch at the new Chinese bistro today. Nice building and decent atmosphere, crappy menu selection though the hot teas were pleasant.
We both ended up ordering "Crispy Honey Chicken" ... by chance mind you ... the only item that did not have onions in or on it - I am in a hate/hate relationship with onions ... they hate me and I hate them so I always read the bill of fare and discount any items listing onions out of hand - several items had onions listed most did not, which can be deadly to those with allergies to onions.
It is the mark of a horrible cook to use onions of any kind in any dish at any time - strictly low-brow and peasant - even if one does not have allergies to them
The hot tea selection while extremely limited was pleasant enough and I had the "White Tangerine" with my meal and it complimented the entree nicely.

Jump Into It
Jump into it!
Whatever your desire is, jump into it.
Nothing is worth doing halfway.
This is not to say to throw caution to the wind or to do something harmful to yourself or others - don't be stupid about it.
Just jump into what you feel will improve you, be it school, art, theater, science, hobbies, gardening, etc.

Sunshine and Thunder
Bright sun shinning and loud thunder sounding!
Like John Fogerty asked many years ago "Have you ever seen the rain coming down on a sunny day?", I ask the same thing as I watch a thunderstorm drop torrents on my lawn in front of my house while I sit in the warm sunshine on the back porch.
This happens daily to thousands of people (there has to be an edge to the storm somewhere you know), yet it is one of those things nobody says they have witnessed first hand and express disbelief when others say the have seen it.
I have witnessed this "phenomena" (as I recount them in my head), eleven times so far in my life, from a drizzle to a deluge.
The one time that stands out in memory the most is the time I was 15 and visiting my grandparents and literally stood by the house and the left side of my body was soaked from the rain coming down and the right side was dry in the sunshine (well, sweaty ... it was better than 90F in the sun that day - the rain side felt 20 degrees cooler though).
So, how many of you have seen the rain coming down on a sunny day?

(Of course John was alluding to bombs dropped from airplanes during the Vietnam War in the lyrics to "Have you ever seen the rain ..." and "Who'll stop the rain ...", but that's beside the point.)
The Amazing Maize Maze
From August 25th to October 21st Historic Rural Hill Farm will be hosting the Amazing Maize Maze. Come and get lost wandering through a cornfield ... and no you can't walk through the rows - there aren't any.
This year the corn has been planted to be in the shape of the Liberty Bell which should make it easier than last time when it was planted to be in the shape of a cannon. Still it can be an all day experience.
Check out Historic Rural Hill to learn more about the Amazing Maize Maze and Scots heritage in the Carolinas.
It took me and the youngest grandkids 3 hours to navigate the cannon, by the way.

Morning Funny
Barely, but it is still 'morning' anytime before noon.
Sex is like Snow

Musings Today
Musings this morning:
What has the price of tea in China really have to do with anything anyway?
Should I plow the south forty or let it remain "wild"?
How will history view the events in the world today?
Why is it the phone rings every time just as you sit to sh*t or step under the shower and get wet?
(Why is always a telemarketer as well?)
Where have all the good times gone? No, really where have they gone?
When are the new crop of 'taters' going to come in?
Would Alfalfa or Winter Wheat be better to plant for winter feed?
Do Seamus and Angus really have to love the mud bog that much?
Does the fact I am nude 99.9% of the time help keep me physically and mentally well?
