spring is in the air

Spring is in the  air,every sight and every sound. .Was that from a Boz Scaggs song? I just like saying his name BOZ SCAGGS . Coincidence that was the name of a tirant leader of the rebellious faction known as the The Scaggs, in the 1940's they terrorized the mountains of northern Saskatchewan. Folklore has it that no mature Ewe was safe after dark.        Anyhoo spring is here saw some gophers today as well as the Huns are pairing up for breeding season. Also there was four roosters fighting between the house and the creek claiming dominance in the wild and wooly game of pin the cock on the hen. I apologize for being to literal.   We saw two of the Pictures that were up for Best Picture of the Year, Lincoln , rather tedious but did enjoy a good laugh when Sally Fields tried to act like a real person.  Also watched Silver Linings  Where oh Where  h as my Bob Deniro gone . Argo, That drivel by that Commie Pinko Fag Ben Affleck won, it was a movie about how Hollywood saved some Americans being held captive by Evil people, pretty real life really.     My wish for you all is to have a friend that you see once every couple of years but when you get together it is as if you see each other  every week. Great to see you again Steve , now that you are Big City, don't forget us country bumpkins. Like Your Gramma always said "If You Don't Pick it will Heal" This was the first Blog since I lost my right arm, not bad with just the left don't you think.

Random thoughts from a Random Dude

      Last week my lovely companion and I drove to Libby montana from Missoula, on Hiway 200. Absolutely beautiful country, first time for me and thoroughly impressed with the amount of water along the roadway, as well as the mountain views. Drove thru Plains, Noxon and Thompson Falls  , the only stop was in the Black Bear Saloon in TFalls. Jimmy was right , he always said" The women in Thompson Falls are the most beautiful women in the state, and if you can find one with a full set of teeth, marry her".  Upon arriving in Libby we attended the funeral of Rita's Aunt Ole, she lived a long and eventful life, 97 years of action such as the time after her husband Howard died she decided to drive to Tucson AZ in her Motorhome . Around half way there she had some recollections of fond times with Howard in Florida so she DETOURED to Florida. All at the age of 80. Not sure they make em like Ole anymore. Oh by the way if you find yourself in Libby drive by St Joe's Catholic Church and if there are cars parked there take a chance put on a sad face and go into the Hall and if by some lucky break there is a funeral dinner  happening,  You are Golden.  Fried Chicken , every salad possible Deviled Eggs, no kidding Deviled free king eggs. The people were very welcoming and didn't mind seconds at all.         On another thought why is it that every generation is more educated than the last but the vast majority of people are dumber.       Went to a great movie this afternoon "Side Effects" Damn thing was kind of Hitchcockish, highly recommend it, for the first 20 minutes saw some of the worst Trailers of movies ever, wonder if there is a chance that Tom Cruise and Bruce Willis could do a movie together with the shoot em up themes that they like so much and use live ammo. I would watch that. Shoulder is sore last couple of days there is talk of amputation.

I hate Valentines Day

     That 's right Mr Hallmark I despise your day. Why you inquisitive little urchins ask? Well it started when Blackjack moved from Joplin School to Chester during my 4th grade.  It was traumatic for sure , you see I started my Academic Journey in a one room School House Known as Tingdall School surrounded by my brothers as well as many other future MENSA members such as Barney, Toad, Fusk, just to name a few. Just half way thru my first grade the school was abruptly shut down something to do with a science project involving Susie and Mike ,lets just say the Chemistry was all wrong if you know what I mean. Actually our teacher had Polio and the Iron Lung was interfering with Art class. I digress, when This cute little boy showed up in Chester with his Jetsons Lunch box and Bennie and Cecil hat little did he know that awaiting him was a bunch of Vipers.  Trained Assasins just waiting for some tender meat, ME, most of the girls liked me at first  not just for my looks  but for my lunches they were killer. But alas within weeks the club started, The "I Hate John Club" That's right folks not a big deal, shit your average 10 year old deals with .EVERY kid in class around 40, joined the club.........except one, My friend Kent Matkin, who remains my friend to this day. Once after school I said to him, thanks for not getting in the club Kent,  I will never forget his response. " I"m just not much of a joiner"..........It was good enough for me. In the future I will tell you how thru some master Jedi shit I was able to turn the whole school into my Bitches...PS most of the names haven't been changed .   What does this have to do with Valentines Day Hell if I know this whole blog  changed when I started writing. It isn't easy being me.

I'm no Paul Harvey

  This should . BE read as if the Great Paul Harvey was narrating, can you do that for me?         And on the eighth day God looked down on a world running smoothly and said let's have some fun      And he made a Liberal.      Someone who could with a straight face believe the good of one out ways the good of many. God made a Liberal.   He needed some one to put together a army of attournies to stand up for CIVIL RIGHTS for groups like terrorists and pedophiles ,    God made a Liberal.   He must have been amused when they started saying animals have the same rights as people, Fish have feelings to,  God made a Liberal.       He said the Conservatives seem to be driven by conviction on the big issues so let's make these people go crazy with anger when Bush even tries to have phone calls tapped from America to the terrorists across the sea, and yet when Obama has drones kill an American without any recent approval from anybody,  SILENCE,    God made a liberal.    And when the Liberals all say No Religion in our society, from Christmas programs, to mention of God in our Pledge of Allegiance.    God said wait a minute I made You.             God made a Mistake!

Well played Dr H.!

Sherlock has Moriarity, Superman has Lex Luther, of course Agent Max Smart has KAOS.  Blackjack has one Dr. H. A mixture of intelligence and Dastardly cunning that one rarely sees off the reservation. While kneeling in prayer at mass yesterday the good Dr. Appeared behind me to say," Blue Velvet,   Dennis Hopper you fool" .I turned as quickly as a one armed man can, only to find an empty pew, and a lingering smell of a delivery room.  Well played sir,   Well played indeed!   As for you Scratch There was a time when the dude from "No Country For Old Men" would have been considered highly .But that would have been before my22 hours spent in Babb Mt. Met 10 guys that day scarier than him , the things they did with that cattle prod, well let's just every year when the Christmas tree is lit up, a sphincter check. TMI

A few thoughts from the Recovery room

Waiting for the Game of the Year, college Basketball, tonight IU wins 78 to 66 to be the new number 1!   We hope for better things! Watching too much tv lately yesterday my 5 year old girlfriend Caitrin and I watched  Piglets Big Movie, a look inside the unsavory world of Barnyard animals.Loyalty seems to be the one trait Eyore carries on his rather broad shoulders and Rabbit yearns for. As for Winnie , well conventional wisdom is he was abused when he was a cub.  This afternoon ,after splitting a pair of chess games with my genius 7 year old Grandson Declan, we watched, what I think was the first Batman, with the Joker Nicholsen. This brings me to yet another Comparative question for you, you know the ones you never answer. Whom or who was the scariest, meanest son of a Bitch ever. Your choices 1.    Jack Nicholsen in "The Shining".      2. Harvey Kietel in "The Liutenant" or "Blue Velvet".  3.lastly.  Robert DeNiro in "Cape Fear" Your Thoughts?
