Guard Dog

I started up a new game of Skyrim today. Then something unusual happened. As I was running to the keep in Helgen, Alduin landed right in front of me and killed me. Usually I have to spend 100 or so hours before that happens.

Just as bad. As for him being a symbol, screw that. He's a lousy president who has damaged his country in ways that few of his predecessors can match. The fact that he's black or that he's the first should not in any way taint what his real legacy would be. When people at the VFW, men who have taken up arms in defense of this nation are openly talking about state secession you know things are going poorly. I do not know how history will remember Obama, but if the country does fracture at some point I think it will be said he presided over a big step in that direction.

Hurlie, I think it is far, far worse than you are willing to admit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJFC1qFCgyA

I caught the biggest speck I've ever seen yesterday. It was 22 inches and weighed a little over six pounds. For those who use a real measurement system (metric) you can do the conversions yourself if you're really curious. He went in the pan last night with scallions & mushrooms and some homemade corn bread. Good stuff!

Poor Bill Buckner, he's in the news again now that a second WS game ended in an error. In other news there are rumors of the Rays moving to Montreal is they will build them a stadium. Seems unlikely to me. The ran off the Expos with extreme prejudice. Last but not least the Rays sent two middle of the road prospects and a bag of cash to the White Sox for Jesse Crain. What a bust that was. That guy never pitched an inning. Talk about buying a lemon.

The only reason I've never been awarded a Nobel Prize is because they don't have one for fishing, or whiskey drinking, or any of the other things I'm good at, Which I think is a shame!

Sorry. wrong topic!

See, Obama isn't incompetent, he's just can't be arsed to worry about the trivial problems of mere mortals. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/362203/obamas-valerie-jarrett-often-whispered-about-never-challenged-john-fund Is it just me or is her gushing praise of him just a little too much like something the North Koeans say about the three Kims?

It is a beautiful, slightly cold day. The dog & I are going fishing!

What... this again?

Ah he's way too young to worry about that. Besides, who wants to die of nothing! I'm more worried he'll wake up next to an ugly girl. Or worse one will come to visit with a baby that looks all to familiar!

Good thing you're challenging Wals and not one of the Americans. We kill people with lawnmowers here. My weapon of choice is a John Deere 42"

Why must those two activities be mutually exclusive?

Today I started a new thread about something funny. Other than that I'm not doing much.

This is just great! Lawnmowers! USA, USA, USA They actually researched this: http://thedoghousediaries.com/maplesyrup

Last night did not go as planned. Not to say it went badly though. Lady Guard dog is moving in for real and we were up until 3 am unpacking boxes and rearranging stuff. I have a four bedroom house and she had a one bedroom apartment, yet somehow she has twice as much stuff as I do. Rather than go out to dinner we just made microwave pizza and watched Saturday Night Live. I found out something about her I didn't know though. She reads her horoscope regularly and actually believes it offers some insight in day to day life. I found that funny. She told me the one thing in life she has always wanted was a horse. She doesn't even want to learn to ride one, she just wanted to have one as a pet. I think I can make that happen.

bad advice imo, tracking your partner sends the wrong message: "I don't trust you enough when you're not around me."Maybe she needed a night out with the girls. Yeah I have to agree with you on this. I can certainly understand you being concerned with her safety Hurlie. As long as that is all it is. But tracking via GPS/Cell phones.... bad idea. Sooner or later that comes out and it would not be a pleasant conversation.

Devaluation of currency to control debt has been done before. In every case it has led to the complete collapse of the country that tried it. That's why I buy guns, ammo, gold, and have improved by property to have a level of self sufficiency. Plus... well, zombies. You never know!

I'm sure there will still be plenty to be unhappy about.

I'm wiped out. I've been up since 0500 going back and forth to midtown Memphis moving my fiancees stuff. I just finished my second trip (it's a pretty long drive). I was hoping to have it all done before she gets off work this afternoon so I could just take her to dinner. Now I'm not sure that will happen. I'm glad I have a pickup truck!

Taking Fiancee to the Peabody tonight for dinner followed by drinks on the rooftop lounge and then a trip back to her almost empty apartment.

This is worth a chuckle http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/2013/10/32-team-logos-fat.html

Competition & capitalism... it's a beautiful thing!

I have a private high deductible insurance policy that renews in March. I'm cringing at what the cost will go up to.

I hope you went for the top shelf stuff like Pritchards or El Dorado!
