You Go Dennis! Support House Resolution 333

Congressman Dennis Kuchinich of Ohio, has introduced House Resolution 333 to impeach Vice President and co-conspirator Dickie Cheney!! Tell your Congressman/woman to support this House Resolution 333... oh, and his reason to impeach Cheney before Bush? He said if we impeached Bush first Cheney becomes president and we have to impeach him anyway... brilliant plan!

Tiny Strength

Today, as the sun was beginning to set behind the tree line of the forest behind my house, I sat at my computer, looking out the window and watching the daily trundeling of the turkeys as they went to roost back in the woods somewhere. A woodpecker came out of the tree and pecked at some suet I keep in a suet feeder, and a few other birds got a last minute nibble of seed from the feeder. My eye caught something moving in an odd fashion, it looked like a cogwheel without a cog, a leaf running with the evening breeze? Wait, as this whirling dirvish moved toward my bird feeder, my eyes behold a tiny little squirrel. This little guy was dragging his little back end with gusto, his tail was no longer bushy but a sad little train that he pulled behind him. I was intrigued. He ate what little seed had fallen from the bird feeder. Three sparrows fly down and keep this little braveheart company. The sun is setting further down and I begin to worry about Owls, Hawks, Fishers, and other predators that can out distance this little guy. I go outside with a dish of seed, hoping he'll run off in his hobbled scurry. He runs under the shed, and out to the woods where I can see he has fashioned a home in a felled tree. I put the seed at the edge of the shed so he can safely nibble if he gets hungry.. my thought was about his safety, what a brave little creature, we could all learn a lesson from this grey little squirrel. Don't know why I wrote this, but watching this little creature survive like this, was profound... there are so many profound things all around us, yes?

Springtime leads to thoughts of getting the Hell outta Maine!

This weekend has been one of those glorious first weekends of spring where the temperatures were in the 70s... We did lots of outdoor yard things, raking mostly.. moving huge tree limbs that fell on the property from storms and wind which were the norm this past winter. My lungs are still giving me grief.. Jacko thinks its because I've been a couch potato all winter, I;m inclined to agree with him. I would rake ten minutes and take a twenty minute break.. anyway, while I was doing this yard work with my boyo..and best buddy Connaugh tied to his lead, I had lots of time to think about life in Maine, no matter how much I look at things, I cannot fathom spending another winter here in Maine. My undergrad faculty advisor is going to CCSU in New Britain CT. He wants me to apply there... pros..he's there, and I would probably get admitted for a Masters easy enough... its near NYC and Hartford and all things cultural... the only con is winter weather. So I go to CCSU, get my masters then we head to Florida. If we go directly to Florida, the pros are the weather, I have family, and its got lots of stuff to do. The cons are its over a thousand miles to move directly from Maine... I have to reapply to USF and take the damn GRE exams OH..we have to sell our house too we'll figure it out, its all a bit overwhelming right now. Meanwhile, tomorrow I go to Salem MA and attend a Senior and Faculty Brunch, I get my cap and gown...wooohoooo and finally have a docs appt with my pcp.. I haven;t seen my doc since last October for my physical exam.. time for a check up. April is almost behind us, this is Earth week.. love the earth ( we would love to give up our car and use public transportation)..someday soon...Miss you Mr Hugo!

Yahoo goes to the Mat

As I blogged on March 16th about the Yahoo decision to aid and abet the Chinese government in its Draconian law against life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ( in this case democracy, which was being search engined on Bah-hoo ( yahoo).com That individual is suing Yahoo in US Federal Court.. I hope he wins big.. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/technology/article1678306.ece

HOKIES FOREVER!

A call for gun control!

I am a member of Alpha Phi Sigma, the National Honor Society for Criminal Justice majors and Juris Doctorates. I truly believe our country needs gun control laws, damn the National Rifle Association and damn the politicians who bend over for these lobbyists. We have 32 people dead. Young people, mature people, students, professors, bullets in the hands of a madman don't discriminate. White, black, gay, straight, man, woman... bullets only want to find a victim. I call upon the people who write our laws to understand that our forefathers did not mean we had the right to carry arms as they did back in the eighteenth century. Lets get real, lets fix this..lets stop the killing. Please.

Thoughts on this and that

Well lets see, there are 43 more days until Commencement Day at Salem State College. I'm pysched about this day, as its taken me forever to get my Bachelor of Science degree, now what do I do with a degree in Criminal Justice at my middle age years? Guess its on to grad school and a move to Florida.
This week we got another 16 inches of snow! Andrew, if you're trying to convert to Metric, its like past your knees deep... and they're predicting an even bigger storm perhaps for next week.. lets hope it moves out to the Atlantic, I mean lets face it, the trees are supposed to begin budding soon...
One more day of work, today I work second shift. I go in at 3:30 and its maihem until after dinner, then it slows down to a crawl. I just got the New Moshin Hamid book, "The Reluctant Fundamentalist", perhaps I'll bring it along and give it a start, although I wonder if my co-workers will give me a "look" for not being productive...
Sunday is Easter...big whoop, might give someone at work the option of working for them if they want to trade a day with me... Easter is hardly a big deal for an agnostic.
The 14 plus wild turkeys ( I have to get a shot of them for the blog) have taken up residence in the forest behind the house. They sit like sentinels throughtout my line of vision and at night fly up into the trees to roost. Several times a day they come into the yard to peck at the corn I scatter for them and the other little critters.
Last night a great horned owl sat in a tree branch outside my window, amazing to watch him ( or her) survey for anything that moved, believe me the yard and immediate perimeter of forest went silent while the owl looked for its next meal. It was pretty awesome however to see this as owls are nocturnal and seldom do you see them.
The picture in this blog looks like Mr Cobalt Pecora. He's my adopted alpha male kitty, who's responsibility is to keep this mobile home free of field mice and other critters. He does a remarkable job and he gets kudos from me! He also keeps the other kitties in line with a no nonsense drill sargent approach. The only one who rebels is his younger brother Squeaky Pecora who is a wild spirit and likes to hang out with Connagh my wonderdog. Cobalt's other duties include pestering for breakfast and dinner, batting at you when he believes he needs attention but not too much.. he likes to sit on top of the kitchen cabinets and play vulture... as well as stare out the sliding glass door at squirrels and turkeys to keep us free from wildlife terrorists. Cobalt has informed me he is a democrat, and cannot understand why anyone voted for Bush... he thinks humans are stupid in this regard. Actually he said that if he had an opposable thumb, he would have no need of us at all, although he is partial to me and Jacko.
Last thought of the day, I wish I had more gay friends here in rural Maine.
Happy weekend to all my friends and friends to be!

All I can say...

All I can say.. is Bush is a slime bucket.. and he calls himself a Christian..hahaha... thats so funny
