I bet he was a Union Guy

Cluster Maps and other WTF's

Okee Dokee... it's another beautiful day in beautiful Downtown Wisconsin.  The Green Bay Packers beat the New Orleans Saints in a  game that had a little bit of something for everyone.....they had Kid Rock singing, dancing girls , snake oil salesmen, clowns and jokers.... and Obama gave a speech just before kick off.  I had a notion, that quickly went away, to go watch the game at a bar or some such place but the feeling went away real quick, see, cause the game wouldn't be over til late and late usually finds me on my very own little couch close to my very own little bathroom and bed.  Anyways... it was  a good game despite all the hoopola and stuff.

And speaking of Hoopolla and stuff.... I just got this email from Blogger... seems like I posted something or a photo or something, that violated some copyright or something.... back in 2009.  And they said, "Don't do it again."  Now, there was a link that I could go see what little boo-boo I did.... and I might check it out.... someday.  ain't no never mind, see, based on how much money I make doing this. hehehe.  But I thought it was funny.  Gees, "Bad jimm, Bad boy'" I didn't know how important I was.

Anyways.... then I started looking at that map thingee that I put up on the blog... that cluster map thingee, as long as I was looking at the blog.  See, I thought it would be fun to see where in the world the folks were coming from... the folks that read this stuff from a copy right infringing bad dude like me.  Well I put it up there because it was free and I surely do like that free word.  Then I noticed that it didn't change much, the Numbers, and every once in a while I would think of taking it off cause it didn't seem to change and I kinda lost interest anyways and iffen I would try to take it off, see, then I would have to think and figure out how to do it and it was a whole lokt of work, for a guy like me, see, to put it up there in the first place, so mostly I just don't do anything at all about it because wsriting long run on sentence is more funny anyways and if I found out somebody in Pakistan was reading this, why, gosh.... OK and stuff.

nope.  Some days I just can't handle much fuss or stuff..... just concentrate on what is good.

Hope is a Laxative

Well, hey and howdy, I haven't been here much!

Cause, see, I have been on Ebay!

I used to be a antique/collectible dealer in a former live... not as cool as the bald dude on Pawn Stars,  more like those guys on American Pickers.  And I had boxes and boxes of stuff....mostly what I collected was medicine tins, straight razors and stuff like that.   After reisting buying anything on line for years.... I gave in and set up an Ebay account.  Whoop dee Doo!

So anyways.... I have fumbled around and think AI got the hang of it... got out the camera, took some pictures, did all the stuff I am supposed to do to list this crap.... and Dammmmmn... if I haven't sold $25 worth of stuff already... and it hasn't been 24 hours!

So... anyways.... that's what I have been up to.... and if anyone really really needs a 1930's Barbasol razor or some old Anacin tins... lemmee know.

?The early morning sounds of seagulls outside my bedroom window are gone. They were replaced by crows, for awhile, but those are gone too and now it is just the neighbors wind chimes.

They are not the coppery gong type, or the tinny cheap tourist shop variety.  Not wood bamboo ones either.  Frankly, I do not know what they look like nor do I have a great interest is checking them out.  I am not a big fan of wind chimes.  To be honest the sound of the wind is enough for me and I love the way it moves through the trees.  Leaf chimes as it were.
But these are nice, the sounds they make, more of an orchestral sound which is better than all that I hear about me.... it all seems like noise.
The TV is certainly noise... reminds me most of the seagulls as they would shriek in the morning, skittering about looking for any trash worth eating.  The weather reports are noise, too, announcing disasters before they occur and they reporting as much devastating news about the weather as they can squeak out.  Weather is not weather, it seems, unless it is hot and nasty.  I used to loook forward to the football season, the only sport I really follow, but that has lost me this year, too.,...lock out, hype, dudes getting hundred million dollar salaries..... shit... I was offered a preseason game ticket... for $50 ... and I turned it down... way too much hype at the stadium, too.

Noise... I am so tired of noise.  So I do not ask for whom the wind chimes....I know it is not for me.

just a old thought

When A Republican was someone to trust

Been immersed in history lately.  You know, stuff gone by, the past, mistakes that, if we study them, we will not make again.  Now, I like history.  Always fascinated me. Of course, belly button lint fascinates me, too.  Anyways... the Civil War has always been a subject of deep interest... it's causes, it's politcal appl,ications, the social change, the deep seated regionalism of the times.  So that is what I have been reading lately..... and that is not what I am thinking about now... but a few words grabbed my attention to day.....

a new birth of freedom --
and that government of the people,
by the people,
for the people,
shall not perish from the earth.

....we need a new birth of freedom.... for people....
our government needs to realize, again...that it serves the people


we need to rededicate ourselves to the words of that President..... and not the corporation that carried his name.

... but what do I know

nope, not today

Profundity escapes me today.  Humor, too..... the words are there.... but there are elusive birds... all the vowels, and nouns and chirping punctuation marks.

a good day to take a book to the river.
