Dinner with Bill

Had dinner with Bill yesterday, hadn't seen him in a bit.

Busy campaigning for his wife these days.

Was like old times and it gave the local neo-cons the shivering fits the fact that he was in town.

Home Sweet Home

The Mrs., finally made it home from the hospital today, but still has to have a nurse come by for the next ten days to give her antibiotics by IV - she was a sicker puppy than she knew. Lucky for us it was not the blood clots in her lungs this time, just a massive urinary tact infection and a general body infection.

Bladder and urinary tact infections are more common than people are willing to admit among women ... but the Mrs., will not be stubborn about any future ones - and go to the doctor earlier and tell me about it sooner ... I will be more stubborn about her doing just that!

Wrong on so many levels.

This is just wrong ... on so many levels!

Microwavers Beware!

Microwavers beware! That hot buttery popcorn you are popping could be giving you lung cancer!

A rare form of lung cancer has been linked to the artificial butter and the microwaving process and prolonged exposure leads to contracting the disease.

While this is news and worthy of notice I would like us to admit to ourselves once and for all that "everything" causes cancer ... it is just a matter of 'how much' of whatever it is to make it cause cancer that should be the concern; for example, pure clean water can cause cancer as cancer is naught save an abnormal growth of a cell, however the amount of pure clean water it would take to cause cancer would never be reached by any human - for they would literally explode from the amount of pure clean water taken in and retained by the body long before the level of 'cancer causing' amounts was near.
The 'scare' tactic of such announcements for sale a product, boycott a product, etc., is what is going on with these 'announcements' ... and it works too!.

Goodbye and Ciao

Pavarotti has died at age 71.
The world is diminished.
This Tenor did more to make classical and opera a "new" found musical genre than any other singer in the last 100 years.

Goodbye and Ciao Pavarotti.
