In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

I Have No Title

I have much to write about, but time - and my sometimes inability to put it all into words - prevents me from writing. Still, I have some things to relate.

                                                                 ***

I think I need a squirrel trap. If there isn't what I envision, I have a good idea that involves bird seed, a good spring door, some heavy cord, and little patience. The only problem I have is what I should do with the squirrels after capture. I have some ideas:

 - Make gumbo.
 - Take them down the street, and release them in the neighbors yard.
 - Catch a few, and teach them how to ride little bicycles, and jump through tiny hoops.
 - Build an elaborate system, and let them run on wheels to generate electricity.

There are probably more things I could do with squirrels, but sending them to Washington, D.C. would only add to the problems with Congress. Enough squirrels have offices, and write laws.

                                                                 ***
I'm having a hard time with the presidential election. Not that it's not interesting, but all problems are caused by a lack of basic fiscal responsibility. With the current state of our Capitol, such problems are way beyond their mental acuity, and elections are only a waste of money. Promising anything only costs more, and the credit card is maxed out.

                                                                ***

Johnny Manziel, with a promising future, decided he'd rather be a spoiled rich kid, and drink himself to obscurity. It's wasted talent.....literally.

                                                                ***

Hillary Clinton is a criminal. So is her husband, and anyone that supports the Clinton Foundation.

                                                               ***

We've had too much rain. While some may blame this on Global Warming,, or Climate Change, or whatever they're calling it today, I know it's the weather, which is what we have every year; regardless of the current effort to steal money with "feel good" legislation and general B.S.

                                                               ***

If someone came into my house without permission, I'd be upset. If they tried to take my job, demand I speak another language, and want free healthcare, my squirrel trap idea would become larger....except the gumbo.

I wonder how many people it would take to run in a hamster cage to keep my house cool?

That's all for now. More will come.

  1. The campaigns may have some entertainment value, but I have come to the conclusion that if our votes really mattered, the politicians would find a way to take that privilege away from us.

    You may be on to something. I like the notion of people sized hamster cages. Things get any crazier, there may be some market value there. :)

    1. Trump is trying to take the power of your vote away.
      He want to dilute your vote by eliminating the delegate conventions and now Carson with Trump wants to eliminate the Electoral College.
      As a maintenance manager I know that when you don't understand how something works or why it was implemented, keep your hands off.

  2. A 110 Conibear sized body trap. There are several makes at this size.
    Use peanut butter to stick bird seed to the the trip plate.
    Don't have any pets where they can get to the trap, it will kill.

    1. I can dispatch them with an air rifle, but that effort only leads to meat for the freezer. There seems to be an unwavering supply of the critters, and I'm now experimenting with a sling shot. It doesn't take many hits to make them wary of the yard.

  3. HA! I think you're on to something here Jess! The hamster wheel idea needs fleshing out though. Build it, bait it with something 'free' and they will come.

    1. I'll place them in front of the social service buildings, make it mandatory those waiting are to use them, and sell the energy back to the utilities companies.

  4. Johnny Manziel attended Tivy High School in Kerrville Texas. My pop said his family always had money...making him a spoiled rich brat from the getgo. It's really sad what lots of money does to some people.

    1. Money is a resource many squander, abuse, and never realize is not a reason to be an asshole.
