Just a quick post while I do have connectivity that something on my computer is causing all kinds of havoc in the internet division right now. Can’t boot up in anything but SAFE mode if I want to use the internet, and in SAFE mode on the internet you aren’t. Great.

If I miss your comment, or don’t reply to an e-mail, that is why.

I could have told you this was going to happen – I just contracted with a guy to post his life-long collection of models and toys on eBay, for a nice contingency fee, so naturally the computer craps out and starts acting up on me.

Late Monday Post

June 29th, 2009 . by Cary

MEG and I took a little adventure this morning. We drove over to Christown Mall and hopped aboard the light rail for a trip downtown. When we got there, we walked over to TMBWitW’s office and took her out to lunch (Café Roma) and then rode the light rail back to Christown and drove home.

MEG was not impressed with the light rail (I call it a street car, for that is, in fact, what it is) and after the second stop she said “I’m done.”

On the way home, I managed to get a shot of this genius:

overloaded car

…just before Phoenix PD pulled him over. Gee, I wonder why he caught the cops attention? And, I sure hope he had a temporary license plate in plain view somewhere on that vehicle…

My friend Johnny T. Helms has written a piece (actually, he wrote it last Friday, the 26th) regarding the “Ugliest Freedom” that I think you need to read.

You also need to check out this video unless, of course, you lean to the left and have no concept of duty, honor, or courage.

Absentee Friday – Still Red

Along with me driving a cab on Fridays (and Saturdays), TMBWitW has changed her work-from-home day to Fridays to better cover child care and pet companionship. MEG will still be going to an aunt for the morning, but will be coming home sooner so she and Mommy can start the weekend sooner…

Meanwhile, I continue to look for a full time, paying gig. Please keep me in your prayers and if you know of an opening in the Phoenix Metro area, please let me know.

Wanted: Paying Position

June 25th, 2009 . by Cary

Really, I’m a pretty good guy. I’m married, we have a daughter, and I would much rather be supporting my family than keeping the home fires burning. I would prefer to let my wife do the fire tending and child raising. Don’t get me wrong, I love spending time with MEG, but my wife really deserves to be spending this time with her.

My qualifications are simple: I will work as hard as I know how to get the job accomplished. I’ve got a lot of life experiences; chances are I”ve done something in my past that has equipped me to deal with whatever task you have at hand. Except, maybe, welding – I never could get the hang of that. Mechanical work? Give me a wrench and a rag, I’m a happy guy. Woodworking? Please – lob a softball into my wheelhouse, why don’t ya? Sales? I suck, but I’ll still try to sell whatever you have that needs to be sold. Consulting? Hey, I’m a blogger – I would be more than happy to share my opinion with you about what you are trying to do. I even have the critical thinking skills needed to make sense of what you are doing before I give you an opinion about what to change or tweak – unlike a certain Poseur In Chief.

So – hire me already. Unless you like training new people every few weeks. See, I would be around for the long haul – I’ve got another fifteen, twenty years in this tank yet, and possibly longer – and plan to work as long as necessary in order to make sure my daughter gets the education and start in life that she will need to succeed.

Looks like the US will have to take it’s cue from a smaller country in regards to this whole “anthropogenic global warming” issue – Australia’s Senate is on the verge of rejecting that country’s version of the cap-and-trade system (they call it a “Scheme” – quite appropriately, I think) and most of the hesitation is due to a book that is out in Australia now and due out in the States in July. I owe a big thanks to the StarrettWire service (click to join!) for bringing this articleto my attention.

On another note – today marks the one hundred and thirty-third anniversary of the defeat of Custer at Little Big Horn, also known as the Great Northern Plains Live Target Practice of 1876.

With that, I return you to your normal surfing. Thank you for your attention.
