- I really love to fish - especially crappie fishing
- I caught a 16" black bass the other day; had a great time getting it into the boat and hated throwing it back in; I'd rather not make the game warden mad, though ;)
- Hooked some REALLY huge fish late that night that pulled the boat away from the dock; I tightened the drag a down too much and snapped the line (dang it); I think Lake Bridgeport has a Loch Ness Monster in it
- I finally bought a weed eater, since my other one disappeared; it has a spring-assisted start (highly cool); I actually used it and I bet my neighbors appreciate that; I had to because the backyard was starting to look like a jungle
- I recently bought three guinea pigs for the munchkins; we went to buy hamsters and came out with guinea pigs; I actually like the guinea pigs; they're cuddly; we had an emergency, though; Lenney, the 5 year-old's GP ran under my bed and got trapped by Luvs the "special" kitty; the child started screaming that the cat was going to eat the guinea pig; the bed bedframe is too short to crawl under, so I had to throw the mattress off and rescue the dang guinea pig; anyone know how heavy a Tempurpedic king-sized mattress is?
- Can someone explain to me what the heck is going on in Arizona?
- Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has "the evil eye"; she just looks mean; can someone tell her that the Mexican-American War is long over?
- I read a news story, "Afghanistan opium poppies hit by mysterious disease", that gave me a "hmmmmmmm" moment; very coincidental that the US is fighting in Afghanistan and the poppies get hit with disease................I think I like it, since I absolutely hate what heroin has done to the world; let's just make sure that ALL the poppies get sick ;), not just everyone else's
- I saw a pickup truck on the outskirts of the Decatur Walmart yesterday selling what I thought were puppies; as I drove by, though, I realized the lady was selling tasers; what the heck? is that even legal? I had the top down on my Miata and heard the "zap" as I drove by; WOW! Decatur sure has changed.......
- I sure do like the 1/2 price frappuccino special Starbucks has been running this week; I think I've become addicted to the dark cherry mocha frappuccino
- A rogue shopping cart recently smashed into the back of my Miata while I was inside a local home improvement store (all captured on parking lot video); did over $500 in damage to my '91 Miata project car; of course I only carry liability insurance on the car; the manager informed me that the sign in the parking lot (way out by the highway and impossible to read from where I was parked) clearly states that the store is not responsible for damage from carts; he went ahead and filed an insurance claim on their paperwork, refused to give me a copy, and sent me on my way; a week later, I got a phone call that I was on my own to fix the car; I've spent thousands of dollars in that particular store, in Decatur, on appliances, lumber, tools, etc; I will never spend another cent there again; I'm sure they won't even notice or care; Once again I say, Decatur sure has changed........; I will clarify this statement, though; there are still many, many businesses in my hometown that still treat the customer with complete and total respect; those businesses know that their livelihoods rely on customers being happy with purchases and returning to buy again; I love my hometown and home county and shop there whenever I can to support local business; just so you know..................

Random Thoughts
Wow! I'll listen to this kid over Lady Gaga any day
Greyson Michael Chance performing "Paparazzi" by Lady Gaga at Edmond's Sixth Grade Festival. He has a YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/greyson97. This is true talent in my opinion.
