Pileated Woodpecker Sighting

....at DeLa this morning. Beautiful and big, pecking for ants in a log. Brazen mofo wasn't even spooked by our discs or noise.

We also spotted what looked like an eagle that was spooked out of a tree by one of JD's errant shots (give the man a break....his elbow is fucked up.)

I am hitting all time lows (if you can even believe it) especially with my drives. I'm a tense mess with a disc! Just can't get loose or comfortable out there and haven't been playing much as a result. Ahhhh, the ebb and flow.

Not whining though...the hiking and fellowship makes every trip well worth it.

Where's the outRAGE? II electric boo-ga-loo

$1.1 trillion in government handouts to whom? Will this help people save their homes from foreclosure, no! Will this correct the failed system that led to this mess, no! Will this pad the wallets of fat cats who had a fucked up plan that collapsed on top of them, yes!

WHO is getting that money? Who exactly are we bailing out and why exactly do we wish to bail them? Why don't we have the right to vote on how the government chooses to throw around a trillion dollars? Why were we led to believe we participate in a free-market, capitalist economy? LIES! LIES, DIRTY FUCKING LIES!!!

I never want to hear another republican complain about a homeless person getting a free lunch; a child receiving a free education or even a state that receives funds to build a bridge to anywhere.

This administration is about to give two Iraq wars worth of taxpayer money to people who did their job bad and failed. I vote no to the bailout and yes to financial collapse. Let's start all over again but this time we will seek to remedy the sources of our oppression rather than the symptoms.

Where's the outRAGE?!

Weapon of mass destruction built below the swiss border!

Just heard the world could end tomorrow because of an experiment some wackos wish to conduct which involves atom collision and the potential creation of black holes. It's amazing to me this will be permitted and stunning that hardly anyone is trying to stop them. I blame this on Dr. Who and apathy!

If this is it, it's been real yo...it's been fun, and sometimes it's even been really fun!!

For the committed alcoholics out there

Introducing the "Beer Belly"
for $34.95

Now you can take up to 80oz. of your favorite beverage wherever you go... Even where 'they' don't want you to! The Beerbelly is made up of an insulated neoprene 'sling' and a polyurethane 'bladder' with a tube for dispensing.. The bladder is held in an insulated pouch in the sling which is worn under your clothing for concealment. When worn, it looks just like a beerbelly, and stays cold for hours!

Why not bring 80oz of your favorite sipper -- beer, wine, sangria, margaritas, hot butter rum -- in with you as a spare tire?

That's right, a beer belly cooler that you fill with beverage and sneak into movies, concerts, sporting events, church, board meetings, or while you're flying and anywhere with outrageous drink prices.

Roz Savage is killer! She is on a Pacific odyssey under her own human power. She's rowing across the ocean and bringing awareness to the plastic issue I was ranting about last month.

People who go for it like this are so inspiring to me!
