Top Gear goes through Alabama

WOW! You have to watch this to see what happens to the Top Gear guys in Alabama. Really unbelievable – not a good advert for us (or US) at all. I guess in a way ‘they were asking for it’, but still!

Farm 10/4/09

So I previously posted pictures of the front and backyard once a week just to show how time goes and record what happened but lost interest. Maybe with the farm the pictures will be more interesting and it’ll go longer? Anywho here are some from the farm, haven’t decided on the view to take yet. These seem good.

(And I’m apparently recording exactly how they mowed that hill of grass without rolling over too!)

The pestilence

As you can see from this satellite map from Google Maps clearly there is a pestilence decimating Madison. Perhaps Odana Hills Park will hold…


Thankfully it hasn’t reached the farm yet.

Healthcare summarized on napkins

I thought this was an interesting summary of the healthcare debate. Probably not wholly accurate but it is on napkins at least.

Happy 4th!

The declaration is pretty interesting really (especially if one is used to reading philosophers from the time). I’d say those folks were angry and with good reason. And in the end they appear to have done a fine job with it all. We’re still ticking along pretty well despite the current gloom.

It’s all cycles, one side gets grumpy for a couple of years, then the other side gets grumpy for a couple of years, and all moves forward pretty well despite all the shifting grumpiness. Then there are those who when in power still stay grumpy just ’cause.

We should really realize this cycle and, at least those of us who are not always grumpy, should be less grumpy. Can’t help the perma-grumps but perhaps it is their duty to keep the cycle going and keep us moving forward. It really does all seem to work out in the end and the founding fathers made a damn robust system keeping all the grumps in check.

Anyhow –
here’s the declaration

Not just a hat. Longevity for 7.99


As the tag states:
Sunguard

As society becomes more knowledgeable about health care, sun protection becomes a priority. Hats are the easiest and most commonly used form of protection from the sun today.

The world’s finest hatters have designed and produced ‘Sunguard’ headware for those who take pride in a long healthy future.

Today I was on a call

I recently thought to myself, ‘Man, you be complanin alot there on that blog.’ So maybe this is complaining or maybe not. Trying to reform though and just stream o’ conscousness. James Joyce and what have you. (no idea if that reference is correct btw. Before you freak out over it read below and decide if you really want to.)

So, anyway, today I was on a call and I thought, ‘whoa people just need to chill out! It’ll all be fine!’

I dare not give you more detail should they find this and freak out. I dare not comment any more since there are bound to be people who will freakout whatever I say. In fact I bet some are freaking out already and I’ve said nothing.

Why post so vaguely then? Don’t know, it’s vaguely entertaining and why not?

Anywho, sometimes you just have to realize how petty it all is and just chill out. Stuff happens, it generally all works out. Just breathe and calm down.

Ah well, more complaining I guess. Did I in fact freak out over people freaking out? Maybe I’ll do better next time.

Generic car company – we dislike cars

I was confused by an ad I saw at the movies the other night. I find it peculiar that an automobile/motorcycle/generator/lawn mower/generally internal combustion engine company seems to dislike automobiles and internal combustion engines so much. Why would you buy an automobile or other miscellaneous internal combustion engine product from a company which so hates such things?
