Randomized Thoughts

G'day everyone....been in a physical and emotional funk for a week or so, guess it's time to get back at it.....no plan on what to write today, just thinking out loud.

Looking forward to tomorrow, aside from the fact it's Sunday..... Supposed to start raining again after about ten days without moisture. Good thing if it does, been a decent monsoon season so far, but as always we need more. As an aside to that, today it is supposed to hit close to 110 here in this part of the aridzone, with rain, our high temperature should only be around 95! Good for this old man.

Republican members of the US House of Representatives staged a mini-revolt yesterday....finally, don't know where they got the testosterone injections but it worked. Something needs to be done about the various crisis the envrio-nazi's have put us in.....energy, safety and food come to mind. But I won't start on that now.

Got some pics from a guy in Israel over the last few days... he said he's tired of every time he sees news from the US or Europe, Israel is portrayed as just sand and ruins....wanted to set the record straight......will see if I can figure out a way to post them here in the blog....that is one Beautiful country....lush green hills, forests, verdant farmland, modern cities, beautiful beaches.....if I could still travel, would try to go visit it asap..or maybe even pdq.

Been blessed by God using several wonderful Angels on earth these last two weeks...Ruth & her vivacious husband Cliff took me shopping at Costco and Kathi Mecca and her sister Trudi sent me a gift card for Wal Mart....for the first time in many months am not worried bout having to eat the cats by the end of the month.

Looking in the mirror this morning, look like I am coming down with the creeping crud or else turning into an alien... Have some sort of allergic reaction or something on my face, started itching last nite and is all swollen and red this morn......be sure to wash your hands after reading this.. don't want to infect any of you.

Finally watched a Louise Brooks movie...if you don't know.. she was a silent screen and early talkies movie star that was fantastically beautiful and quite an independent thinker.... Saw Pandora's Box from 1928....and the girl could sure act also.....silent film and very well done, but depressing. Hey, anytime the heroine is killed by Jack the Ripper...it's a downer! Am in the process of downloading a Jean Harlow movie also, been in lust with her photographs for years....never seen one of her movies....she was in the twenties and early thirties....meteoric rise as they say, and died tragically at the age of 28....

Speaking of tragic, the presidential campaign rolls on.... sheesh, have never seen two such ...oh never mind. Dem convention this upcoming week in Denver...promises to be "entertaining" at the very least. Then the Elephants in Minnesota the following week.....

Will be interested in the choices for running mate by each of the parties. Am really impressed with a couple on the Republican side ....Bobby Jindal the Governor of Louisiana and Sarah Palin the Governor of Alaska.... Gee, they are two of the parties brightest and most promising rising stars...and to break the image of the "horrible right wingers" he the son of a Hindu couple that immigrated from India and she is ...well...she's certainly not a boring white male.....to say the least.....

Anyhoo, time to go slather some ointment all over the part of my head that faces the front and then wander around the house going ..... BOO to the sleeping cats.

Later y'all
