I have declared myself to be a Mexican Drug Cartel. I figure I’ll be getting my first load of guns and ammo any day now …

Keeping myself busy until they show up – wearing red, getting a haircut, going up to An Affair With Trains to check out the new location of the layout, hanging with my daughter all day (the best part, right there!) and generally enjoying a day off.

If I don’t see you before next week, have a good weekend. Enjoy fellowship with like-minded individuals. Practice a few rights as enumerated in the Constitution, especially the first two.

Chat ya later…

Have you seen the attempt at publicity that Jersey (S)hore and Abercrombie & Fitch have thought up? Seems A&F wants to “pay” Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino (and his fellow cast members) to not wear their brand – because all the attention that Mike brings to the brand through his “show” is unwanted.

Right.

I have an idea, and it might relieve some of the financial strain around the homestead here in Glendale – what if I threatened to start wearing A&F clothes? You want an undesirable amount of publicity? Let the “cool” “hip” and “in” crowds get a load of an overweight, out of shape, conservative old white guy wearing the latest styles – that‘ll get the money rolling in to not wear a brand!

Wait a minute – I just had a thought. A&F want to advertise their graphic tees but then they use these skinny little kids that the shirts just hang on, and you don’t really see the graphic very well. What if I offered to start modeling for them? I could fill out their shirt, and show them every piece of the graphic – there wouldn’t be any folds on the shirts, that for sure! Hey, Abercrombie & Fitch, how’s about that deal?

How’s about a graphic tee spread across that belly?

Contact information is in the sidebar, Mike Jeffries, Mr. CEO of A&F. I’ll be waiting for your offer, one way or the other!

disclaimer and apology to regular readers – yes, that is an old picture. i am at 250+ in that shot. i am currently floating round 214-216. and all the quotations were a special gift for the city of phoenix prosecutor, mr. tuttleman. that is all.

I sent it in today, I also doubt if they will print this one or pay attention to it:

I would like to ask the Arizona Republic’s Editorial Board to make a small change in their style book. The general consensus of the Mainstream Media seems to be that a group of twenty representatives backed by a certain grassroots effort is the reason S&P downgraded the country’s credit rating. Amazing feat, actually – since they are only twenty out of over 500 members of Congress – and they are not backed by the Tea Party, but the TEA Party. TEA stands for Taxed Enough Already – which is why the TEA Party endorses candidates (of any political persuasion) who will stand against any increase in taxes.

I look forward to the correct name being used in future articles explaining how such a small group of freshman lawmakers can hold sway over the entire congress.

I gotta give a tip of the Stetson to Texas Fred for pointing this out – like many others, I had just glossed over the fact that the local bird cage liner always used the wrong appellation.

So I was standing near the front counter at work, some customers were milling about, and I heard from my right side, just out of my peripheral vision, those immortal words: “Hey, watch this!”

I was three steps into a full sprint to my left, away from the voice, when I realized the four year old boy who had uttered the phrase probably wasn’t going to commit any fatal actions.

I busily pretended I had to fix something on the puzzle rack …

Well, I’ve got my red on – I’m actually going to enjoy doing NOTHING today (with the exception of taking Cinnamon to Acoma for her diabetes check-up) and nothing will stop me.

Yes, I realize I have many projects in a holding pattern, but right now, today, I am going to take the day and enjoy it with my daughter. We aren’t going to do anything we don’t have to. In fact, she’s still slepping and probably will be for another hour or so. She is still recovering from a summer cold and the results of a misdiagnosis involving ear drops that provided another clue in the list of allergens (sulfates – just like her mommy!) that she needs to avoid.

Sadie had a growth removed from her front right paw; she is recovering nicely.

Out of the corner of your eye, Samantha really looks a lot like Sara did.
