On the Desert, Rugby, Ohio State, and Iraq:
Thought for the Day:
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

(I added a guest room here at La Casa Publico. There is a method to my madness, I am going to rent the extra space out to Ohio State fan’s for 300.00 a night, hot showers, live chickens & Spam sandwiches extra. Hell, they don’t wear shoes in that state, so this will be luxury accommodations.)
On living in the Desert:
It’s fucking cold here, it got down to 32 last night and I turned on the furnace. Everyone said “Don’t worry about the 120 degree summer heat, it’s a dry heat.” Well, it’s a fucking dry cold. At least I am not scraping ice off my windows.
Allergies, I was told that moving to the desert that my allergies would not be a problem; however what I have found out is that I am just allergic to a whole new bunch of weeds etc.
When it’s windy, it’s a like standing in front of a sand blaster.
We don’t get snow days down here in southern Arizona ....ok, I have not gotten a snow day since I was a school boy, yet another reason I should of gotten a education degree, starting pay in the 30’s, Christmas and Spring Break, every legal holiday, plus summers off, if I ever hear a teacher complain about how under paid they are I am going to kick them square in the crotch (male or female, you say ERA I say YES).
Some things that are handy to have a working knowledge of before moving here, Spanish, or as the white people call it here “speaking Mexican”, the dialect’s of the states of Minnesota and Iowa, 4-WD trucks & ATVs, high performance bicycles and how everyone and everything is better in California.
On Trigger Moments:
A little know fact, but JQP’s pretty round ass, has not been occupying a bar stool for sometime. This as been a planned event. Since I am not bringing in fat cash, I don’t feel like running my Loving Flower’s pay through my kidneys. However, there are two trigger events this weekend, this little event with like minded individuals, http://www.rogieisadog.com/fest.html and the time honored Army-Navy Game.
Both events that tend to make a lad like me drink like a fish. I have not decided what I am going to do yet, but Kevin the Cosmonaut has already called 3 times.
On Iraq:
I said when this whole thing started that I was wondering how they were going to keep that cluster fuck from turning into another Vietnam, folks we are there, no more wondering. I don’t know who else caught in the news this week that to date the War in Iraq has now cost the US tax payer as much as the entire Vietnam War.
I have to say is I am glad I am not in charge, I really don’t see a good way to clean up that mess, just a lot a bad ways, some worst than others. I however would love to see those who got us into this mess held accountable, they would of hung Clinton on the front yard of the White House if he would have thrown us into a pile of shit 10% this fucked.
Today’s Bill:
And since you know you cannot see yourself,
so well as by reflection, I, your glass,
will modestly discover to yourself,
that of yourself which you yet know not of.
William Shakespeare
Quote of the Day:
“A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.”
O.W.
I remain, both the sand in the shorts and the snow down the neck of your enemies:
