Daily Thoughts - II

I love how times change the way our leaders react. When 9-11 happened the president said we would hunt them down no matter where they would hide. Furthermore any country harboring or aiding the terrorist would be subject to retaliation. Well, guess what, someone (CIA) says we know where Bin laden is but because of their national sovereignty we won’t get him. Well, what happened to those bold statements from 2001? Sounds like someone has a bigger mouth than their balls.

Father’s day was nice. It was a quiet day filled with food, TV and bowling. The father/ Son banquet was also great since both of my boys went. And we managed to do some damage to the BBQ, Cole slaw, and potato salad. The games were so-so but it only lasted a short time. The golf was great because Tiger lost and a mere mortal beat him.

I am saddened that another scout has been lost in the same area as another one was. Isn’t someone at the local BSA headquarters watching? Obviously, that area has some inherent problems that make it easy to become lost. When the troop fills out the permit for the trip, why isn’t it scrutinized a little more as to precautions that are being taken based on the areas history?

I see we are still prosecuting criminal cases some 40+ years after the fact. I was always brought up that there was a statue of limitations. From the looks of it, you can be hounded even after you are dead. Perhaps, people are still looking for a free handout; sue someone to make your retirement life better. Who needs a 401K; one lawsuit and you are set for life. There you go Bush, revamp Social Security to allow one major lawsuit as your retirement plan. Everyone gets rich and the Government is taken off the hook. Kind of like the Terry Schiavo’s family. Dig up the mud and reopen the investigation from some 15 years ago. Let’s ruin everyone’s life now. They want closure, no way; they had it when they buried their daughter. What they want now is vengeance, the chance to cause pain and hurt to anyone involved. I can see it now, sitting in church trying to act so pious and innocent, all the while plotting and scheming what their next vindictive action is. What is sad are the State Officials that are abetting them, all for political gain at the polls.

Next week, I shall be heading for Florida for a few days to fix my parents computers. So I shall be out of pocket and trust all the children to play fair and don’t fight.

Guess, I best run and get my self ready for the Summer Solstice. All them earthy people going crazy and keeping me up all night. Litha? Hmmmm.

Things are changing in Dark Towers. After much thought, several changes will occur. As usual I expect some to belly ache and complain. But simply put in PG terms, “mind your own business and leave us alone.”
