Red Shirt Friday

July 4th, 2006 . by Cary

Bushwack has a nice little link to a great idea.

This, and every, Friday, wear a red shirt to show support for our troops. We may be a silent majority, but we don’t have to be invisible too.

Pass this on, link to the link that I linked to through that link, and let one of us (who got linked) know that you will be wearing a red shirt on every Friday from now ’til the end of the War on Terror.

God bless, and stay safe.

This and That

July 3rd, 2006 . by Cary

Thousands of illegal immigrants cross the US/Mexico border, in a southern direction, and after they vote in “their” national election, we let them back into the US. Can you say “anal-cranial inversion?” I knew you could…

My weekends are made for TMBWitW and TMBCitW, with some home improvement/renovation projects along the way. That’s why you don’t see any new posts on the weekends, and why I don’t usually respond to my e-mail after 10:00 or so Friday morning… normally.

prying1 sez© he and Mrs. prying1 can’t talk to each other unless they are in the same room, due to acoustic issues. I have that same problem, only it’s even in the same room when I’m over the sink and TMBWitW is talking to me and expecting me to hear over the rush of water in the concave bowl, which focuses the sound on my ears and pretty much drowns out everything else…

Having a job that requires you to work on July 3rd, before the July 4th holiday, is the pits. It really sucks if you don’t have any vacation to take the day off. It really, really sucks that due to a job opportunity that didn’t pan out you don’t even get paid for the Fourth, since you don’t have 90 days at the company yet (timer starts over when you return to the company). On the other hand, I give God all the praise that I can muster that I have a job, because there are many in this country who don’t even have that much.

Dogs, having learned that they can sleep on the bed with the humans, take up way too much space. Apparently, once they are domesticated, the dogs lose the ability to sleep curled up in a ball with their noses tucked under their tails. The preferred position is stretched out, with the nose tucked into the nearest nook or cranny of the closest human. (cold nose in the butt at 1:45 am? that’s a wake-up call)

Did you have a good weekend? Do you have big plans for the Fourth?

A big thank you to all the veterans out there – past, present, and even future (Hi Sammy!) – for helping to secure and preserve the freedoms we enjoy in this country. Ooh-Rah! Semper Fi!

God bless you all, and be safe, OK? I don’t have many readers, but I would sure miss you if anything happened.
