Random Thoughts

Doesn't feel very, footbally, any more.

Dr. Hunter S. Thompson killed himself several years ago after the season ended. The end of August is a long time to wait for some. Pitchers, and catchers are to report to spring training in several weeks.

She really cares for her kids, and ends up putting in a lot of extra time to help those who need and want it. I remember having a few teachers like her along the way, and they really did help to make a difference in my life. But yes, there are indeed some real ass-hats that are given the responsibility of teaching our children.

I couldn't do it. I see the same thing happen with the social workers we train - people who have $40K in debt from grad school and are lucky to gross a fraction of that, working with clients who could be physically abusive.

Society's reward system is fucked up.

I place a lot of the failures on the parents. They expect teachers to be nothing more than baby sitters during the day. And, many will not spend any time helping their kids with home work, or for that matter, don't give a shit if the kids do it or not. Then they blame the school and the teachers for their children's lack of success.

I am amazed at the number of parents that refuse to attend parent-teacher conferences to find out how well their kids are doing, and what they can do to help them with the areas that are troublesome.

Thank God (or nature.. the Universe... etc.) I wasn't able to.

My first thought when I found this out... "How much did I spend in birth control" and "Damn, how stressed out was I when she didn't have her period on time?"

I must admit, things are different now.

Yep. Just tropical, enough.

On Monday, I placed an order with a company based in Costa Mesa, CA. That's in Orange County, slightly less than 100 miles from me. When I checked via the supplied tracking number, it appears that it will be delivered tomorrow some time. Five days to travel less than 100 miles. According to Google Maps, I could have walked up there and back in 66 hours. The problem seems to be that it took them until Wednesday to get the package to the Post Office.

Contrast this to a recent Amazon order: I ordered it on a Saturday, it arrived the following Monday.

Sometimes when you order from Amazon it has a long river to travel, other times it's airlifted out. As long as it's not shipped via UPS (and it's not brown for nothing) it won't get paralyzed by a curare dart, after a couple times on that merry-go-round experience I'm FedUp Distressed all the way.

They really should go back to selling government employee insurance, send the lizard back to Australia and clean up the camel dung.

I realize if you get to a certain, um, advanced age, you don't give a crap anymore, but does that have to involve a 50dBA increase in eating noise?

I'm at a coffee shop on my day off, and if I closed my eyes I wouldn't be sure if I'd be listening to an OM eating a muffin or someone being attacked by a slobbering wombat.

So....what happens to all those Catholic souls in hell, limbo, purgatory, or wherever, that ate meat on Fridays before the Pope changed the rules? Do they get a get out of jail free card, or are they destined to be forever wherever it is they are?

Those who have entered or will enter Purgatory since 2010 will remain forever because that's the year manufacture of syrup of ipecac was discontinued. As for those who don't belong to the church that makes up its own religion as it goes along, have read the Bible and have found no such nonsense in it will not be judged by the Pope.

According to Tim Leary's brother, they're in a garage in Buffalo.

You'll just have to wait for spring thaw before you can find it and let them out, if they're still alive.

I remember when my roommate in undergrad was taking parasitology. That's when I first learned about toxoplasma gondii infestations and to never trust cat owners.
