Congrats to Ireland, a nod to England

In the world of sports, there's often a Dewey moment, n'est pas?

C'est la vie.

Am I a worthy investment?

How do you hold a coalition together?

Make sure seven billion are given the opportunity to get in on the deal.

A voice not to be forgotten

Thanks to the beautiful, smiling faces of the folks at the Huntsville office of the American Red Cross today - Nyesha, Janie, Doris and Juanita.  I enjoyed watching "Open Range" during apheresis process.

A nod to Welch Allyn for the blood pressure cuff used today.

And I greatly appreciate the tumbler, window shade and umbrella that show I am a platelet donor.

Will get to be WordPress whenever it allows me to log back in and post blogs.

Silence is my friend but not absence of words.  ;)

Give a nod, too, to Chavez for his sense of humour - true satire!

Feet back on Earth, narrative back on...?

Thus Endeth This Blog

The cowboy rolls up his knapsack/pup tent combo, slings it over his shoulder and steps into his rocket boots to pursue a lifelong dream.

Where he rides, there are no sunsets.

The path he takes is a lonely one, as usual.

It's always been about you, me, us, as usual, too.

He issues a voice command and off he goes.

"Giddyup, boy, let's get this show on the road!"

Whoooooosh!!!!

Surveyed Surveillance but not Susveillance

If you want to marshall the forces for caring about and carrying the planet, look at the trash thrown off to the side of the road first, put in the refuse bin second and, finally, in the lasting recycling container last.

It's what's in the name that counts.

The labels of the manufacturers/retailers printed on the trash on the side of the road tells you most about those who appear to care/know the least about species inefficiencies.

Styrofoam cups that say anything about saving the environment, like automobile adverts that tout MPG improvements, are interesting diversions but not fully effective treatments to raising the bottom line from the bottom.

Preaching to the choir is a feel-good measure.

uncontested

News update!

Shia LeBeouf cleared up the cleared-up rumour - he discovered and created Charlie Sheen and gave new life to a forgotten, out-of-original-ideas writer/director named Spielberg, not the other way around.

China banned voice overdubbing today, requiring the acting community to get its act together and complete filming scenes on the first take.

Asphalt manufacturers have claimed no-fault insurance in their divorce from customers sitting on their faulty behinds.

Are you sure LEED is misleading?

The family of the inventor of the tomahawk has filed a lawsuit in the World Court requiring all users of the word "tomahawk" in patents, copyrights and trademarks to pay an annual user fee or face criminal mischief censorship, including inducing fear in the night of attacks by tomahawk-wielding census takers.

That's all the print that fits the news!

Now, back to your planet's regularly scheduled exposure to its gravitationally-attracted power plant called the Sun.
