It seems I’ve been remiss in adding posts to this blog. It has been a really busy month or so. I am a musician and perform at retirement facilities on a regular basis. It seem that this has picked up considerably and I am enjoying singing for the elders. I have also been working on some home projects, getting the pool ready for summer (it’s a salt water pool and requires a little bit more maintenance – or maybe just different, eh), cleaning the place for my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday (that was on March 1st), and I have been repairing and painting a gazebo that stands over the hot-tub. That’s been nearly full time for a couple of weeks now, but the end is in sight. My early a.m. job is getting very slow and I soon will need to seek other avenues of geetus control. (That’s money to you younger folk who have never seen and studied the incredible slapstick comedy of Moe, Larry, and Curly.
A local redio personality was trying to alliterate the trio to Nancy Pellozi (sic) Harry Reed, and Joe Biden. I must admit that I took great offense that The Nearly Famous Barry Young would defame the Three Stooges by comparing them to those other named ones. It did, however, get me thinking about the Stooges and the great pleasure they gave me. And not just in my younger years, either, I still laugh to pain when I see their skits. I honestly believe that the only thing I’ve ever seen that was funnier than the Stooges, was Jim Carrey as Ace Ventura in, “When Nature Calls”. The scene of Him exiting the rhino made me (and my wife, Brenda) laugh so hard, I nearly passed out. Tears rolling, me rolling on the floor… I don’t remember how many times we watched and rewatched that scene. I still guffaw when we see it.
I think it’s very important to laugh long and hard, especially in these times we are in now. It’s ok to be angry at congress, whichever side, but a person cannot live with constant anger. It’ll kill ya, ‘s’what it’ll do. Try to find something to laugh at. You’ll live longer.
God Bless You
I’ve been having fun doing the “This Weeks Bible Verse” page. That’s why I’ve been a tad lax with adding new posts. I’ve also been gearing up for my coming campaign for City Council. Trying to list the things I stand for and believe in is a daunting task. Boiling things down to just a few bullet points is the hard part. I want people to know everything but that’s just too much information to digest. I’ve been trying to pick a few key items for a flyer. I’m basically fiscal and social conservative. Refine and reduce spending, taxes, dependence on state and federal monies, refine, reduce, eliminate “entitlement” programs, take a VERY close look at education and the problems inherent with the school systems. Basically, putting control back into the hands of the people and local communities, or, as Mark Levin puts it, going back to a “Civil Society”. One belief of mine is that a Constitutional Nation begins at home, in the home. And no, it’s not going to be “the easy way out”, It will be difficult. But a people that abrogates its responsibilities is a people under subjugation. Resecuring freedom will be a painful process. It will take a very long time. Patience and endurance needs be the watchword. Action and involvement needs be the path. Strength and courage needs be the force. And finally, do not be afraid. Stand in the knowledge of truth and right.
This is NOT original with me – I wish it was. If I knew who to give credit to, I would.
Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from four days to four years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2-6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.
When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.
