Solicitation
No I do not want to buy Act Popcorn, Magazines Subscriptions, Candy bars, Girl Scout Cookies, Wrapping Paper, Donations to Save the Wales or Contribute to your political cause when I am at home. I get enough of this shit at work, I don't need you interrupting my dinner at home too. I have this magical thing in my house called the internet that lets me do all of these things without getting off the couch to open the door for you and lie right to your face when I really want to tell you to just fuckoff.
I tried posting the following sign on my door but then realized I might have gone a little too far
"By knocking on this door you are consenting to being held against your will for in indeterminable time frame in my basement while your systematically beaten and tortured"
So instead I opted for Office Max Version that just says "No Soliciting"

Threes Company
I can't shake the feeling that the expression third times the charm was derived from the story of Goldie Locks and the three bears although it might not make since in the original version after she eats the perfect bowl of pourage and finds the perfect bed she is ripped apart by the three bears.
Moral of the story don't stick around in a crime scene longer than absolutely necessary.

Rewinding People
Where the Rubber Meets the Road
If you ever doubt that we are creatures of habit stop rotating your tires.
Your day to day routine begins to show up. The path you take to work everyday. The same right, right, right, left turns burned into a pattern of you across the top side of your Michelin grippers.
You can look at a persons tires, the type, how they maintain them, etc. you can and almost rewind the last 60,000 miles of their life.
I love looking at peoples bodies the same way. The calluses, the wrinkles, the muscle tone, the fat deposits, the ticks, the eyes, the movement. I like to look at them and rewind their life in my head. The life that lead them to appear in front of me at a given moment.

Weekend ReCap
Friday
Came home to find out the washing machine is broke and the part I need is on three week back order..F$#*$
Got my drink on @ Home while dog sitting.
Worked a little
Saturday
Mowed, Trimmed the bushes, edged, went to Target and the Farmers Market
Walked the Dog around the lake.
Decided to go see who was @ TG...no one was there had a quick drink
Went to Frenchmans to see if anyone was around. No one I knew, so I had a quick drink and walked outside to my car. I noticed something dripping from my window and on closer inspection was all over my front seat. That is right in the 30 minutes I was inside someone threw up in my open window all over my driver seat. I am guessing it was someone who was part of a bachelor party that showed up on a bus there. FQ$@QE!!
Was home by 10:00 pretty crabby and had a few cocktails at home.
Sunday
Woke up and went to the laundry mat. I almost forgot how fun the laundry mat can be...if you have never gone to one you should try it especially an all night one.
Washed my car, Washed it again.
Shampooed the house.
Dog Park.
My love returned and we went to Pepitos to Celebrate:)

Sunday Service Interruption
Sunday Service Interruption
I thought in this country that perpetrating a fraud against the public for financial gain was illegal.
Maybe one day I will see the Pope sitting in the cell next to Madoff and Petters.
After all everything they were imprisoned for selling was just as fictious as what he is selling.

Where is a Stake When You Need It?
"If you build a man a fire you will keep him warm for this night, If you set a man on fire you will keep him warm for the rest of his life."
I have a growing list of people I would like to extend my most sincere offer to keep you warm for the rest of your life.
I would chop down every tree in the great northwest to build a fire worthy of how much I hate you.
I would march all of your lazy, lying, victim, martyr, trashy, zealot, begging, two-faced ugly asses right into the middle of it.
And now back to our regularly scheduled program.......

Caddy Bat
As I was watching a little golf on TV I started to speculate what other sports would be like if everyone had a personal caddy follow them around.
But I guess every sport really does have a caddy. Bat boy would be a baseball caddy? Waterboy a football caddy?
I wonder if there is a market for professional bowling caddy's?

Fuming
The day after the 4th of July the city of Minneapolis took to the airwaves declaring that the pollution level of the city was so toxic with the smoke\debris from the previous nights fireworks that all people with breathing sensitivity should refrain from any exertion out doors. outdoors....
The outside was so polluted with particles and smoke that it was dangerous to breathe. I wonder why there were no health alarmists looking to ban fire works due to the possible harm from second hand smoke? I have never hear of a bar opening its doors and an entire city told to stay inside.
A lot of people were made to suffer, some of them who don't even celebrate the fourth of July. Only this was worse...they couldn't even choose to not go to the bar and be around smoke they were told that they have to stay indoors.
I also haven't heard them wanting to enact bans on bus stops, traffic lights, stores and business that are less then 25 feet away from the street. After all isn't that person sitting next to all of that carbon monoxide coming from cars worth saving...maybe a little more then the person choosing to go to a bar and drink all day?

Twin Cities air quality befouled by fireworks
Particle pollution in the Twin Cities was elevated Sunday because of Saturday night's fireworks all over the metro area, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency said Sunday.

The fireworks were fun, but they came at a price.
Particle pollution in the Twin Cities was elevated Sunday because of Saturday night's fireworks all over the metro area, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency said Sunday.
The agency issued an "orange" notification after light winds failed to disperse the pollutants that lingered after the celebratory fanfare and fumes. People with asthma and other health problems, as well as elderly people, were advised to stay indoors, and everyone was urged to avoid prolonged outside exertion.

Healthcare Debate
So instead of a government subsidy that would allow abortion to be included - There logic is that taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for abortions but tax payers should instead pick up the tab for subsidizing unwanted children?
Abortion = $500
Subsidizing a child for 18 years =$180,000.00
I thought republicans were supposed to be financially responsible?
The below is an article from Today's CNN
Anti-abortion congressmen take on health care legislationStory Highlights
Group vows to fight any bill that fails to exclude abortions from scope of benefits
Group cites court rulings requiring Medicaid to cover abortions absent legislation
Exclusion amendments have been struck down in two committees, group says
NARAL spokesman: "Health care bills don't reference abortion at all"

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The contentious health care reform debate intensified Wednesday as a bipartisan group of congressmen opposed to abortion pledged to fight any bill that fails to exclude the procedure from the scope of government-defined benefits.
Without an exclusion, said Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Michigan, "more than 200 individual laws" would be at risk.
"This issue is not about party politics. It's not about obstructionism. It is about saving lives and protecting pro-life Americans across the country," Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pennsylvania, said.
"American taxpayers should not be forced to pay for abortion. Nor should they be forced to be unwitting participants as the abortion industry uses [the health care debate] to mainstream the destruction of human life into America's health care industry."
The group argued that, under the current version of the House Democratic leadership's bill, most Americans ultimately would be forced to participate in a plan that covers abortion services. They complained that amendments specifying the exclusion of abortion mandates and subsidies had already been rejected by two of the three House committees handling health care legislation.
"Without an explicit exclusion, abortion will [eventually] be determined to be included in [the] benefits standards" by either Congress or the courts, Pitts predicted. He cited the example of Medicaid, which federal courts ruled had to cover abortion services until Congress passed legislation stating otherwise.
Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Michigan, warned that any comprehensive federal health care law would pre-empt individual state decisions regarding abortion services

"By making abortion an essential benefit and requiring that provider networks' enrollees have access to the items and services covered, this legislation would negate more than 200 individual laws in nearly every state that have stood the test of time and the scrutiny of the courts," he claimed.
Abortion rights advocates brushed aside the legislators' concerns, asserting that the issue of whether or not to cover abortion services would, in the end, still be decided by individual providers.
"Reps. Stupak and Pitts are obsessed with abortion, even though the health care bills don't reference abortion at all," said Ted Miller, a spokesman for the National Abortion Rights Action League.
"At the end of the day, we expect that the plans will decide what services to cover -- just like they do now."
