Good 38º verrrry foggy morning. Whoppen? Hot and clear yesterday til the
afternoon when clouds moved in. Fuey. No rain predicted though.
Reese Witherspoon arrested! Hmmmm..... Dumb girl.
I had heard this before and probably put it on my blog before, but again it
is AWESOM! Madison Rising sings The Star Spangled Banner. You have to
watch/listen. Will make that good old American pride fill your heart! Thanks
Larry '5150' Curry (LASD ret) for sending this!!
Happy Anniversary to Debbie and Tom Flores. 35 big years! Wow, guys. That's
great. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Today is "Earth Day" .... the continuation of a 1970 environmental movement
to press on the climate change ideas and how to live more 'green'. Earth Day
1970 capitalized on the emerging consciousness, channeling the energy of the
anti-war protest movement and putting environmental concerns front and center.
And then Al Gore won a Nobel Prize for his efforts to impart greater knowledge
about man-made climate change and how to live 'green'... yeah, like he does in
his zillion dollar mansions that are heated and cooled with lack of concern by
him! Gore's "inconvenient truth" is that — there's no tactful way to say this —
we gas-guzzling, SUV-flaunting, comfort-addicted humans, wallowing in our own
self-indulgences, have screwed up the planet. We've hauled prodigious quantities
of fossil fuels out of the ground where they belong, combusted them to release
carbon dioxide (CO2) into the sky where it shouldn't be, and now we're going to
burn for our sins.
Stupidity and hypocrisy – as well
as vanity are Mr. Gore's traits. Do as I say, not as I do!
...............Ok, off the box!
Historically this
date...
1945 – World War II: Führerbunker:
After learning that Soviet forces have taken Eberswalde without a fight,
Adolf Hitler admits defeat
in his underground bunker and states that suicide is his only
recourse.
.......too bad he wasn't caught and put in an
oven to die! JUSTICE.
2000 – In a pre-dawn raid, federal
agents seize six-year-old Elián González
from his relatives' home in Miami,
Florida.
Commentators have suggested that the Elián González
affair may have been a factor in voters' decisions in the 2000
United States presidential election, which could have affected the close
outcome in Florida. Al Gore's handling of the matter may have been as great a
factor as anger by the predominantly Republican Cuban community over the boy's
return to Cuba. Gore initially supported Republican legislation to give the boy
and his father permanent residence status, but later supported the
Administration position. He was attacked by both for pandering and being
inconsistent.
2008 – The United States Air
Force retires the remaining F-117 Nighthawk aircraft
in service.
And births this date include....
1906 – Eddie Albert, American
actor (d. 2005)
1936 – Glen Campbell, American
singer, musician, and actor
1937 – Jack Nicholson, American
actor, film director, producer and writer
Yesterday we did a 'test' ride with Dude on the golf
cart. He did pretty good until we got down to the trash can and I took it up to
the road.... he pulled out of his collar and followed me! YIKES! Cars are going
45-55 mph on the road and thank GOD he listened to me and stopped! So.... next
thing is that since he has this need to go wherever I go, he's getting a harness
to keep him from doing that!
We stopped at Dave and PJ's to see what they were up
to.. They had a burn pile and with their pitchfork they were cookin' hot dogs!
LOL....
Actually they are a couple.... and the American Gothic
painting is of a farmer and his 'spinster' daughter!
Sun's coming out. Jason up here today to do some
weed-eating for me and vine and berry bush trimming. I worked on it yesterday
but my back can only take an hour or so ..... I know.....
wuss!
Happy Monday. Nuff said. Ciao.
