Down The Rabbit Hole

“"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” “She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it)”

Chernobyl Legacy

This is an awe-inspiring tribute of the Chernobyl Victims 20 years after the reactor blew. I am actually giving you a warning about the video, some of the pictures are graphic, some of what the narrator is saying is tough to digest.

But, why not know what could happen to us if the same thing happened? I live an hour from a nuclear reactor. Do you?

Ruby Starr




My dad gave me a whole bunch of record albums... under the condition that I digitize his Ruby Starr and the Grey Ghost album. Needless to say I had never heard of her or the band, but after seeing a picture of Ms. Ruby Starr, I think I can see why he liked her.

Anyone give a link so I can hear the music?

Thoughts to live by:


A good friend will come bail you out of jail.... But a true friend will be sitting next to you saying .... "Boy we really fucked this one up."

I've learned...that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

I've learned...that we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.

I've learned...that money doesn't buy class.

I've learned...that it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

I've learned...that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

To ignore the facts does not change the facts.

The less time I have to work, the more things I get done.

Every time I close the door on reality, it comes in through the windows.

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.

FUCKING PASTA



Okay, everyone at work is having to bring in a dish tomorrow for our "easter/non-easter/non-religious" party I want to bring a Pasta Salad dish since I stupidly put myself in that category instead of the simple veggie or dessert category.

Here is what I need from you... a quick, simple recipe with NO (you guessed it) NO MAYO!

I have 7 bucks in my pocket and I am sure if I turn over some couch cushions and check in my car I could round up 2 dollars more.

So, give me some recipe advice!

Otherwise I am going to the "in-laws" house to see and have dinner with the boy-toy's Nana who flew in from Maine... an 82 year old lady who still works in the potato fields every day, owns over a hundred pairs of shoes, and wears a white glove when she smokes her evening cigarette.

God love her.... that, fellow readers, is a true-hero!

Believe it or not, that little po-dunk car lot is only 3 minutes from my house (keep in mind I do live in Missouri, every thing is in minutes-not miles). Anyways, my car was totaled out by the insurance company. I bought it back and it basically took 1,500 buckaroos to fix it back up..... its still dented by it runs.

I got tickets to the CRAFTSMAN TRUCK RACE at the Gateway Speedway in St. Louis Missouri April 29. Its a night race (starts 7:15) and ends with fireworks and the Charlie Daniels Bank. Right the Fuck ON! So, watch for me on TV, We will be sitting right before turn one!

They Boy-toy has 16 more days till he is off the dreaded home detention.
