Can you guess which organization this is?

The answer is neither. It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.
The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year, designed to keep the rest of us in line. You gotta pass this one on!
AND THEY JUST VOTED THEMSELVES A $15,000 PER MONTH PENSION FOR LIFE AFTER SERVING ONLY ONE TERM IN CONGRESS!!

Southern Mystery Excursions

While hiking though the mountains of Chihuahua Mexico this weekend, I ran across a picnic basket with some American and Guameze currency. Strangely enough, a picture of my bike was inside. It's a mountain bike, with a custom seat and a wheelie bar. What are the odds of that? I'm still flabbergasted. If you know the way this story ends, let me know. I do not.
For the rest of Sunday, I plan to be lethargic, as I am out of gas. Long week, yah.
It's freezing outside today, so much for nice weather. Don't forget your coat when buzzing around Hollyville.
Hope everyone has a great week!

Beat down on the ball, and take a nice healthy divot for a strong shot with penetrating ball flight.

Chubbolardo

Burger King launched a new breakfast sandwich Monday that is the latest weapon in an emerging race among fast-food companies to lure customers with bigger, fattier, super-sammies.
The "Enormous Omelet Sandwich" features a five-egg omelet topped with ten slices of American cheese, five strips of bacon, roast beef, and three sausage pattys on a hoagie-style bun with lots of real mayo. At 8753 calories and 247 grams of fat, it is even heftier than the company’s famed "Whopper," which weighs in at 700 calories and 42 grams of fat.
"I'll have 2 please" I won't post tomorrow, because I will be to fat to get to my desk.

Happy Green Things

Nice day outside.
I went to work today, got my paperwork, and drove right back to my complex in the work truck. (My job was next door to my building) When we finished, I walked the 200 yards home thinking about the coming spring. For January in Hollydale, 42 and sunny is pretty darn good.......extremely rare is more like it. It started the "Golf Juices" flowing.
Only 52 days left until the 2007 golf season.

Milky is HERE!

No Sir

"I live 4 Milk".. S. Hollydale

I would not want to live without milk. I could not eat a dessert, candy, or anything good, for that matter, barring that cool lactose rich liquid. I wear a milk mustache with pride. Cows are the best thing on the farm.
Some may tell you that newly developed hormone additions will cause ill-fated consequences, but I say, "I would rather grow breasts, than to do with out."
Rock on, my four legged utter hangers, and put out another gallon for me.
All hail the mighty cow. Moooooooooooooooo!!

A UFO was seen flying over Hollydale last night. Many people reported this activity to the police. A small group observed the craft land in the middle of Olsen's Field. The Aliens got out and danced for a while, and then flew off into outerspace. I, for one, hope they do not come back. I detest Aliens.

I am announcing my retirement from Sports Forcasting.
That's IT.

Today is Sunday, my day off. Thank goodness. I am a little tired from a long job yesterday.
The "girls" are spending the day together here at the old homestead with me. It has been a while since they had an extended period of time to interact.
Here is what they have to say:

K...."It's a happy day for me, because I have my girl over!"
T...."I am really grateful!"

It is really great to see them together again. Nothing like family to make you smile. Keep up the great progress T. You are doing great.

Sundays? They are always the best.

___________________________

As I origionally picked S.D. as the Superbowl winner, I find myself back-tracking to make sense of this years wild playoff season. While I think the Saints are the strongest team, I agree with others that a cold game in Chicago puts the Bears in the big game. The Patriots will also be there, mostly due to their dangerous passing game. Yes, I know, it's very susceptible to defensive pressures. They do, although, seem to be able to make the big play when required. A seasoned QB is a huge strength in the final quarter of any important game.
Patriots will win the Superbowl vs. the Bears....BIG.

Trucking in Hollydale

Transportation is an area in which demographics, the desire to hold down costs, and rising demand are combining to create a "shortage." A 2005 report released by the American Trucking Association and economic consulting firm Global Insight, concluded that Americans' unwillingness to work as long-haul truckers could have dire consequences for the U.S. economy. As the press release notes, in 2005 the United States had a shortage of 20,000 truck drivers. Given economic growth and the graying of today's drivers, the industry will need 530,000 new drivers over the next decade. The study notes that if U.S. companies want to continue to enjoy cheap, reliable truck-based shipping, the industry will have to recruit more women and minorities, boost wages so that trucking pays more than construction, and address quality-of-life issues.
But that sort of thinking - raise wages to attract domestic workers into your field, is becoming extinct. In today's flat world, employers can choose from a global labor pool, apparently even for driving big rigs down I-95. Meet Gagan Global, which trains Indian drivers in India to drive American trucks in America.
How do you say "10-4, good buddy" in Hindi?

January, a long cold month. What did people do indoors all winter before the electronic age? A few things come to mind, and none of them need a plug-in. They are.....
1. Games
2. Conversation
3. Music / Dancing
4. Hobbies / Art
5. Sport / Exercise
Unfortunately, these things have all but lost there social importance with TV, movies, and computers. Don't get me wrong, I love all of these things, but we as a society seem to spend more and more time in "Un-Social" situations. Excluding work, what did you do yesterday? I was on the computer and watched cable.

Try spending one night a week doing the very things listed above, (1 ~ 5). I will too. 2 and 3 go hand in hand with food, so it couldn't be all that bad.

P.S. Googling is not a hobby. :-)

Word of the Day *NEW*

Weekend Over, Run for your Life

Sponge Bob ThermoBoy

I am not a marine biologist, nor a global warming expert, yet I think some observations are obvious to anyone.
With all of the hoopla and speculation around warm winters and polar ice cap melting, I see many political theorists (Al Gore, for instance) preaching of what sounds to be the demise of the planet due to greenhouse emissions. Lets take a look at fact.
Below is a recent demographic of water temperatures. Do you notice something? I do. There is a definite mix of both warm and cold readings in coastal waters. The West Coast is cooler - where orange crops are facing frost warnings. The East coast is proportionally warmer - "golfing" in New York. The areas shown in red are where Ice is melting (Far North)
Conclusion: Normal water temperature fluctuations affect near by areas.
Do I think we put out to much CO2 as a society, yes. Are we in a world crisis situation, No. Let's be sensible, and each do our part to conserve energy. Wild speculation and government intervention are not going to help us, we as a community - CAN!
Final thought.........have you ever seen a "save the planet" bumper sticker on a Hummer? I have. These are the same people heating a giant house with a pool for a family of 2. AL GORE!

My small "claim to fame" is on Hollydale's Web Site.

Check out the scroll at the bottom of their HOME page (next to the flag you see to the right). There I am, the very last entry on the "Eagle Players"

This happened in December on the 16th hole, a 340 yard, uphill par 4. One drive, one ten foot putt.

Fish and golf at the same time :-)

A nine-year-old inventor in Spring Lake, Mich. has combined the two popular pastimes of golfing and fishing with his "Jayrod."
Jason Gardner, the son of Jay and Cori Gardner, built the first "Jayrod" last summer out of one of his father's golf clubs and fishing rods. The device is a golf club with a spincast reel attached near its handle. A fish hook is attached to a golf ball, which is attached to the reel with fishing line. The Jayrod allows its user to whack the golf ball with the club, then reel in the fishing line, the Muskegon Chronicle reported Friday.
It may not sound like an easy device to use, but the golf ball-hook combination sends a lure farther out into the water than any regular fishing line. Onlookers lined up to try it out during the Gardners' recent test at a local lake.
Jason and his father told the newspaper that they have already obtained a preliminary patent for the Jayrod and placed a few of the devices on the Ebay Internet auction site.
Lets just hope Jay's line does not break too often...........S.C.

Foootbaullen Picks

I have not watched football all year. With my team being the Vikings, can you blame me? Play-offs and the Super Bowl are different though. I like making small bets with other friends / co-workers to make things a little more interesting. Of course, if you win, the badgering and in your face banter is what can be the most really enjoyable. Lets hope my picks are right.

1. Patriots vs. Chargers.........Chargers win 35-27 This one should be the Superbowl! ...The leage is just not set up that way, shoot.
2. Superbowl: Chargers vs. Chicago / Chargers win, by 14+
3. I guess that means I pick Chicago on Sat. 13th
4. Saints beat the Eagles Sat. 13th (although they both stink, and neither will make it to the BIG game)
5. Jaguars & Colts >>>>>>>>who cares! Either will be DEVASTATED by the Chargers.


I think the Chargers are too strong in all areas to be beaten in the post season, and am putting it down here, so all can see. I was told that NUMBERS mean nothing in the play-offs. I disagree.

People that I work with have bad methane problems. You know who you are.

A JOKE. NOT A POLITCAL STATEMENT, JUST FUNNY.
**************************************************
Question: How do you tell the difference between Democrats, Republicans And Southern Republicans? The answer can be found by posing the following question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a pistol, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

Democrat's Answer: Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor! Or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

Republican's Answer: BANG!

Southern Republican's Answer: BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click.....(sounds of reloading). BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click Daughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or the Federal Hollow Points that I bought you for your birthday?"

Hello My Blog Log Page People

Weekend Over, Shoooot!

We had the baby overnight. She is a very happy and vocal young girl. I do believe that her favorite things are "peek-a-boo" and the dogs. I base this hypothesis on the fact that most of her smiles come from, or around these areas. Babies have some great communication skills, this is amazing because they can't speak English yet. They don't need it, and you can tell what is on their mind.

My woman is really great with kids, as she proves to me whenever she is around them. I think the key to that is two fold: 1. Patience & 2. A Caring Heart. Not bad qualities to have in your personal repertoire.

A relationship is a symbiosis of character traits, some blending, and others being the strong suit to carry the other. She carries me in the "patience" arena. We are all so different. We do, however, agree that having this child in our house is a real blessing. She sure is awful cute! We will be waiting for her next "overnight".
