Loons in Civilization

The loons are definitely out this summer.

Kathleen Parker at the Washington Post has an interesting column about Sarah's resignation.

Yesterday there was a vote in the House of Representatives. The result: 399-1. Guess who was the lone dissenter?

Captain Crab's Travels

What I looked at today. A lot of straight road and big sky.

Another wonderful horse. I'm happy not to own one, however!

The ridge in the background is in North Dakota

Then a sight rarely seen on the high prairies, palm trees! The cattle weren't finding a lot of shade, but they seemed to enjoy them as much as I did.

Captain Crab's Thought of the Day

The best compliment I ever recieved:

"You were the only person I met in 1972 that made any sense."

Corporate Waste

Tonight I ordered a pizza for delivery. Tired, with a lot of work to do. An easy way to eat a bad meal. When it arrived I was given a pizza and a few things to go with it.

10 plates, 13 packages of red pepper flakes, 18 packages of Parmesan cheese and a pile of napkins.

A medium pizza, 8 slices. Why would I need that many plates or packages of cheese and red pepper flakes? Why would any one staying in a motel need that much?

OK, they must have known that I would need that many napkins, but while I appreciate Pizza Hut's generosity, it p.....s me off that they are wasting this much!

Airplane Quiz of the Day

Whoever can identify the make/model this will be wins a free beer from me this week at Tailgators in Sioux Falls.

Independence Day, 2009

Enjoyed smoked meat, immensely!

Happy Fourth of July

PJ having "sparkler fun".

My brother's corn made "Knee High by the Fourth of July". It's over six feet.


What Skittles thinks of the Fourth of July

There's a full moon tonight.......

all the loonies are out!

K8's comment about the date of the full moon needs to be answered:

Being' a pirate and all, I really don't know much about calendars and such. But,
IT LOOKED like a full moon to me.

However, it could have been due to the beer, but my camera doesn't drink (as far as I know).

There is another possibility, K8 is WAY up there in South Dakota, so maybe the full moon gets to you a few days later than here.

That doesn't really sound plausible though, so maybe it's that pesky global warming thing I read about once.

To tell you the truth, I just don't know what I'm talking about.

Jesse James and Me

I was about 136 years too late to stop (or participate in) this heinous crime.
