Hot Sauce

A friend of mine here in Denver saw these in Boulder, CO I'm not really a hot sauce type of person but more of a peppery-spice flavor kind of person.

I've been a fan of this band since the early 90s.  Too bad they broke up. Blue Collar Suicide , the first track on their  Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy Banditios Down Together Another great song is Suckerpunch  but I couldn't find a video for that one.

Religion and Evil

Image
"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." ~Steven Weinberg Woman hangs then burns the body of a dog after it chewed on her Bible. This is why I don't like religious whack-jobs.  When they're killing their kids because they think their god will take care of it; when they incite violence in the name of a Jewish-Zombie Sky God and when they burn and hang a dog because it chewed on a Bible (as if her god's really that concerned with one copy of a book).  She needs to rot in jail for the protection of us all!

Highway 404 in Canada with a SemiTruck.

Whoa.  I once had a RV flip over in front of me (about 30 years in front of me) when on the motorcycle doing about 65mph.  But at least it was summer time. EMBED-Close-Call Semi Truck Crash Caught On Couple's Dashcam - Watch more free videos

Subway breakfast

So, Subway's been marketing the breakfast sandwiches all over the place recently, yet I've never tried one.  I usually stop into a Subway once a week or so for a $5 footlong and while talking to the guys, the sandwich artists, I always mention I want to try one.  So, the other day I'm in there and they have the $1 off coupons laying around and I grab a couple thinking it will be an reason to stop in a grab one of those sandwiches.  At $2-$2.50 with a dollar off ( total was $2.50 with a couple of cookies) isn't too bad. This morning I decide to stop in there.  Not only did I get a choice of sandwich , but I got a choice of regular eggs or egg-white only, cheese of choice and any of the normal Subway sandwich toppings I wanted. That was a good sandwich.  I highly approve of them and as a fat guy you know I know good food. :D

Good Friday (not the Catholic kind)

Has it been a good day so far?  I woke up this morning and went to the gym. Afterwards I took the dogs to the park and got to hang out with Hot Crystal (Hot Crystal is awesome!).   I was supposed to go to CoSprings and photograph a sheepdog trial but on the way to I find a German Shepherd on the side of the road looking lost. She was just sniffing around dragging a leash along behind her. I stopped and grabbed her, she hadno name tags just a vet vaccine tag on her collar. So I take her to her vet who looks up the owner's information and the number on record is disconnected. The vet's assistant gives me the address and as I drive to the neighborhood the German Shepherd, Booboo, starts getting very excited. Her owner is at home looking for his dog: Booboo. He says he dropped the leash while walking to the dumpster and slipped on the ice.  He offers me a reward and I mention I don't need a reward I need a job.  So, he offers me a job.  Nothing serious, but pay, benefits and co

Divorced Barbie

Image
The Divorced Barbie Doll ? ? One day a father gets out of work and on his way home he suddenly remembers that it's his daughter's birthday. He pulls over to a Toy Shop and asks the sales person, 'How much for one of those Barbie's in the display window?'  The salesperson answers, 'Which one do you mean, Sir? We have: Work Out Barbie fo r $19.95, Beach Barbie for $19.95, Disco Barbie for $19.95, Ballerina Barbie for $19.95, Astronaut Barbie for $19.95 and Divorced Barbie for $265.95'.  The amazed father asks: 'It's what?! Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.95 and the others only $19.95?' The annoyed salesperson rolls her eyes, sighs, and answers: 'Sir..., Divorced Barbie comes with: Ken's Car, Ken's House, Ken's Boat, Ken's Furniture, Ken's Computer, one of Ken's Friends, and a key chain made with Ken's balls.

Business Proposal

Last week a friend of mine whom I've worked with in the past asked me about federal contracts.  Specifically, as a veteran, did I have a better chance at being awarded a federal contract than he would as a non-veteran owned business. Yes, I would.  He then asked me if there was some way I could prove I was a veteran, to which there is -- a DD214. He then explained he heard about a federal contract coming up for proposal requests from a company he has not worked with in the past, who cold-called him to see if he wanted to submit a proposal for the contract.  So, he wanted to know if he could get a better inside line by putting me on the payroll and claiming veteran's status. Instead I told him to talk to, and arranged a meeting with, another company I have done business with in the past that has only worked federal contracts and is a disable-veteran owned business.  As a disabled-veteran Gus business, Gus automatically gets to the top of the list for consideration of the c

Ohio school board fires teacher in crosses case - Yahoo! News

A good one for Ohio's school board. This teacher's actions are not productive for a secular school and violate the separation of church and state clause of the Constitution. Ohio school board fires teacher in crosses case - Yahoo! News Don't get me wrong, I fully believe that differing points of view should be discussed as an educational point, but to brand student with a cross? This teacher should be by the parents.

Not me!

Mount Evans

I took the camera to Cherry Creek State Park today and thankfully the air was crystal clear for a good view of the mountains from the park. This is a picture of Mount Evans  ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Evans ) which is about 35 miles from Denver, so about 50 miles from where I was standing when I took this picture.

Man arrested at Logan airport on disorderly conduct charges - The Boston Globe

Man arrested at Logan airport on disorderly conduct charges - The Boston Globe Um, what? Are we that frightened as a nation that we're turning on bagels and cream cheese or other "unruly passengers" such as the guy who has o pee a lot or the sick person? When does this become so ridiculous that the people finally say, "enough?"

re: Border Collies

A dog will look at you as if to say, " What do you want me to do for you? I’ll do anything for you ." Whether a dog can, in fact, do anything for you ... is another matter. The dog is willing. — Roy Blount, Jr. I love me some border collies!

Morale

" People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing ."  ~Dale Carnegie And yet, when sitting in an interview and asked what I feel is one of the most important aspects of creating a team of individuals who will be solid performers I always get a dirty look when I include morale as a needed aspect to a productive team.  You know, it worked in the Army and it works in corporate environments: a happy worker is a productive worker.  When you brow-beat and micromanage people find reasons to not perform to their utmost ability but rather they visit Facebook, Twitter how they hate their jobs and take longer breaks. I'm not saying managers and employers have to acquiesce to the needs of their employees, but a little morale goes a long way.  Something simple like catering lunch once in a while, doughnut days or something equally simple but morale building.  Of course, a day of laser-tag or another random act of kindness doesn't hurt either.

Government Health Care

I was and am a big supporter of Health Care Reform, however I'm not entirely sure about the bill that was passed.  Regardless, the point of the below cartoon is to show how the government is taking a wrong and making it a "right."  Ha ha ha ... enjoy the humor.
Straight out of a cheesey romance novel, or what? He grasped me firmly but gently just above my elbow and guided me into a room, his room. Then he quietly shut the door and we were alone. He approached me soundlessly, from behind, and spoke in a low, reassuring voice close to my ear. "Just relax." Without warning, he reached down and I felt his strong, calloused hands start at my ankles, gently probing, and moving upward along my calves slowly but steadily. My breath caught in my throat. I knew I should be afraid, but somehow I didn't care. His touch was so experienced, so sure. When his hands moved up onto my thighs, I gave a slight shudder, and partly closed my eyes. My pulse was pounding. I felt his knowing fingers caress my abdomen, my ribcage. And then, as he cupped my firm, full breasts in his hands, I inhaled sharply. Probing, searching, knowing what he wanted, he brought his hands to my shoulders, slid them down my tingling spine and into my
