More information that helps prove that the whole "CO2 causes global warming" bullshit is a pile of crap. All of the other planets are warming up just like Earth.

Sleep is a fickle beast

Sleep is funny. For the last few nights, I haven't slept well. I kept getting woke up by the cats, and I kept having stupid nonsense dreams that made it impossible for me to fall into a good sleep.Then last night, I slept like a baby. I slept all the way until my alarm went off for the first time in months. No stupid dreams, and no cats waking me up. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I wasn't half asleep on my ride to work. I was awake, and even forming coherent thoughts. Usually I'm on auto-pilot in the morning. I felt great when I got to work. I sat down at my desk, booted the computer........and fell asleep.

Nice weather brings about fun times

This week, because of a combination of absolutely stunning weather and the fact that my Corvette is apart and taking up my garage space, I've been driving the Camaro to work every day. This is the first time that the car has been driven 3 days in a row in who knows how long. Driving the car is finally, after years of struggle with it, an absolute joy. It still has a long way to go, but it's got reasonable power, sounds good, and is just very rewarding to drive. I've got the new headliner and compass/temp mirror installed, so the interior is looking better than ever. Yesterday after work I pulled the t-tops off for the first time of the season and just did not want to stop driving. I can't wait to get out of work and go drive some more!!!

Ribbit Ribbit mofo

Our yard has reached a new low as of last night. It's now officially a frog pond. Last night in bed that's all I could hear was frogs from the back yard. :(

Immigration protests and rallies piss me off

What the hell is it with all these immigration rallies lately? Every bleeding heart pinko leftist feels compelled to open the gates to anybody who can get here. Do they not understand the term ILLEGAL immigrant? Nobody is complaining about those who come to this country legally. Hell, that's what this country is founded on, but the ILLEGAL part is the part that pisses me off. I have the follow the law, and so do immigrants. Many of these rallies call for the illegals to be able to become legalized, which of course undermines the entire legalization process that is in place for a reason. As it is, many illegals are collecting government benefits including welfare and health care while a number of legal American citizens go without.

Another thing that frosts my ass is the attitude of a large number of immigrants, both legal and illegal. Why in the hell does my ATM machine require me to "choose" english? Why do I have to "choose" english when I make phone calls? This is America! English is our language. If you "choose" to live here, learn our fucking language! Have a little respect for this country that you obviously felt was better than yours.

My grandfather's parents came over on a boat from Italy in the early years of last century in hopes of finding prosperity and the American dream. They rapidly learned English, and would not permit their children to speak Italian. They were Americans and they would speak English. These were proud people. Proud for the opportunity to be American.

Where in the hell is that pride now? Press 1 for English my ass.
