YEP, I'M BACK WITH MORE RAMBLINGS ABOUT THINGS THAT I OBSERVE IN MY UNEDUCATED WAY. So, most of these are not even related to each other. Well, maybe.
1. Why are Catholic Nuns concerned about a birth control bill in their insurance policy. That should not even be on their radar. OK, I know there is more to this than meets the eye of the media, but sometimes you just have to wonder, the way the report is presented.
2. Do I even want to get into the political scene at this point. It seems to me that the tics are doing a worse job on each other than I could ever do, even if my blog were to be read by many. All I can say at this point is that there is some common sense come November. The problem is that common sense is just not that common.
3. The Staff of life. We have been without water off and on for the past two days. You don't realize how much you depend on water being there until you don't have it. Oh, we had water to drink, and there are emergency supplies, but still, the convenience of water is a given until it is not available at the turn of the tap.
4. Weather. Here where I live we have wind and dust. And lots of it. Well, today hasn't been so bad. But just a few miles, well a few hundred miles, although it is only across a State line, Colorado is buried in a winter blizzard of snow. Welcome to spring time.
Hope you all have a happy Easter and remember why we celebrate it.

SOME MORE OBSERVATIONS
WELL, A COUPLE MORE OR SO. WE WILL SEE.
1. I guess I am getting to be a sour old man. Why? you ask. You already knew this, you are just wondering how I discovered it. Well, I'll tell you. I used to like candy. Lots and lots of candy. I really liked Snickers and Milky Way bars, with a Coke. And peanuts. A 20 oz. bottle of Coke. I still like Coke, and peanuts, but don't drink them much any more, but any time I break down and buy a Snickers etc, I can hardly eat it as it is so sweet. Same with most of the store bought cookies that I used to like. Just don't like most of them any more. Well, except Fig Newtons. I still like those, so maybe I have not completely soured. Just mostly. I do like most home made pies and cookies. And Ice Cream. As soon as I don't like them I will have made it all the way to sour.
2. Have you bought any honey lately? Just wondering. It has gotten so expensive even Pooh may have to change to Syrup. Sopapilla Syrup, that is. Have you had any Sopapilla Syrup lately. Bet you have if you have gone to a Mexican Restaurant and ordered a Sopapilla with Honey. And you got Honey. Nope. Syrup. Don't believe me? Google Sopapilla Syrup and see what you come up with. Let me know.
3. Have you seen the commercial for eye glasses where the guy comes out in a pink body suit. Or whatever it is. May get someones juices flowing to buy glasses from them. Not mine. I hate that commercial so much I am not really sure who they are advertising for.
4. I have often heard, during an election year, May the best man win. I have often replied that the best man is not even running. I read something a few weeks back that said the best man or person, is not running because the best man don't want to govern his fellow man. Yep, that about sums it up. So, as a result, we live with what we get and always hope for a better future.

JUST A COUPLE OF OBSERVATIONS
OR THREE. Do you watch TV? Do you pay attention to the Ad's? If so, maybe you can enlighten me.
1. Why would an insurance agency feel the need to insure a bunch of deer having a pool party>
2. Although Ben Franklin thought the Turkey was a smart bird, are they really smart enough to high jack a meat delivery truck and cause the driver to tremble in fear? And the insurance company feels the need to cover that?
3. And why does Tarzan need car insurance any way. He just swings through the jungle on a vine?
4. And finally, if all the money spent on the Dems and the Repubs trying to get into the white house legally, was actually spent on feeding the hungry or paying sown the national debt, just think how much better off the country would be.
