Oh My God

Do we really need a"National Cat Day?" Today,October 29th,this yearand every year from now on,will be known as "National Cat Day!"I don't know how long this has been going on,but this is the first I've heard of it.Why didn't our Government send us a notice telling us that this will be the most dreaded day of the year?It's not like we don't have hundreds of dedicated websites just forCats.I'm serious,just forCatsto watch.People can't be sitting around watchingCatssleep all day while they are at work,can they?We haveYouTube, Facebook, Instagram,and that is only a few of the"Social Media"outlets that have followers watching cutesy,annoying,little fur balls freeloading off their owners.And when didAdolf Hitlerbecome cute?There is a whole website catering to"Cats That Look Like Hitler!" They call them Kitlers.I'm trying to see the humor in that,but I can't.According to the"National Cat Day"website,"Blue, Naturally Fresh Cat Litter and Petco"are the sponsors of the heinous crime, "Natural Cat Day!"I call for all normaland sane American Citizens to write to their Congressman,before they get voted out of office next year,that thisCatinfestation into our Country is aTerrorist Plotto take over the World!These people are fanatics!Soon they'll be believing that when they get toHeaven,there will be 72 Virgin Catswaiting for them!This insanity must stop now,today!

Good Day To Be A Geek!

Good day Geeks.For some reason.I don't believe there is enough publicity about TB145 flying by our Planet on Halloween night.What,you don't like the way Scientist name asteroids flying by the Earth?Well thank goodness for media outlets who love to sensationalize these kinds of things.TB145 has officially been nick named,"Spooky,"because of it's Oct. 31st flyby.Thank you media outlets.When are Astro-Scientist going to wake up and start naming Galaxies,Stars,Planets,Moons,Asteroids,and Comets with cool names again?OK,they don't have to name these Celestia bodies after themselves like the disease scientist do.Case in point.The disease I grew up with,Osgood-Schlatter!"Osgood Schlatter Disease was named after the two physicians that first defined it in 1903 - Dr Robert Osgood from Ohio and Dr Carl Schlatter from Switzerland. It is characterized by activity related pain that occurs just below the kneecap (patella), at the top of the shin bone,(tibia)."
I can just envision the Romans naming Venus,The Goddess of Love,X  X  X  X.Which in today's society would mean 4 kisses.In their society it would mean forty.I like the nameVenusmuch better.Now,if you don't have a really good telescope to see"Spooky"fly by,(When it's at its closes to the Earth the Sun will be out in the Northern Hemisphere.)go to the website,Slooh.com,and watch it live on your smart phone,tablet,or computer.They have a show called,"Tracking Spooky, The Halloween Asteroid,"which starts Saturday, Oct. 31st, at 9:30 PDT.On a side note,if you are interested in seeing the latest NASA Astronaut taking a Spacewalk outside of theInternational Space Station,you can see it onSpace.com.They have reached 47.9 million viewsand when I streamed it,1.8 thousand people were streaming at the same time!NASA also has a channel onUSTREAMwhich shows live events.Like I said,It is a good day to be a Geek!

The Smuggling Prince

I am really interested to see what is going to happen to theSaudi Arabia Princeand his four companions after being busted for trying to smuggle2 tons of Captagon Amphetamine pills onto their private plan in Lebanon."The Pharmaceutical Captagon contained a synthetic stimulant called Fenethylline. These days, narcotic manufacturers are producing counterfeit Captagon tablets, stamped with the Captagon logo, but containing amphetamine as well as other chemicals, the U.N.O.D.C. says." Story by Tamara Qiblawi and Susannah Cullinane for CNN.Surprisingly,there are 33 Countries in this World that have the"Death Penalty" for smuggling drugs.Lebanon is not one of them.Saudi Arabia does,but unless this Prince has fallen in disfavor,his four minions will probably take the fall.You may think this is just another"Rich Guy"looking for thrills,but in reality,he is supporting terrorism in the Middle East."The nature of the psychoactive ingredients in such tablets is not always clear, but reports suggest that amphetamine trafficked from South-East Europe is the main ingredient in Captagon tablets found in the consumer markets of the Middle East (notably Saudi Arabia), frequently alongside caffeine," the U.N. office says on its website. (U.N.O.D.C.) In June, the office's executive director said terrorist groups were thought to be involved in the Captagon trade. ISIL/Da'esh (ISIS) and al Nusra Front are also believed to facilitate the smuggling of chemical precursors for the production of Captagon,"Wait a minute here?Isn'tISISfighting Iraqi Forces to free the people so they can follow theQuranreligiously?Then why smuggle drugsand rape women? "They have vicious plans for them! Fears for hundreds of Yazidi 'slave' women captured by ISIS fanatics in Iraq." Headline today on The Daily Mail.Does الله (Allah) condone this kind of behavior in the Quran?Hell no!It's just like I said before in my Post,"Give Me Your Money!" It's for"Money, Power, and to Control the Lives of Millions of People, that's why!"I'm proud to say,since the Vietnam War,the United States of America has disciplined our troops to forgo the usual reward of the conquering army of"Raping & Pillaging!"Throughout History,it has always been the way for"Warring Countries" to reward their armies.Do you think Terrorists like ISIS are no different?Wake up and smell the Power!

Who Says "You Can't Go Home Again!"

"You Can't Go Home Again"is actually a novel byThomas Wolfeand his meaning to the phrase is,"you can't recover the past."I wasn't trying to recover my past by using the phrase,but I'm sure almost everyone alive has felt the same sensation,of feeling at peace,for at least a little while,once they return home after a time of being away.I know that I've only been away for a couple of days,but I noticed the feeling non-the-less.It is something I like to do,being in touch with my inner thoughtsand feelings,so it will help me become a better writer.I was so in touch with my inner thoughtsand feelings this past weekend,especially with mytest-iciclesgoing up inside my stomach due to the extreme cold,(35 degrees at night)that I can't wait for the next time I come from a manageable55 to 60 degrees at night,to freezing to death!

Hello Weather Fans

I finally got my chance to go up to the city ofBig Bearin California.Big Bearis known as a"Downhill Ski Resort"kind of town.I'm not a ski fan myself,any longer,but I do like going up to the mountains.Elevation is over 7,000 feet so at night it gets down to around 35 degrees this time of year.Walking is a little harder to do in the higher elevation too!I only lasted 2.2 miles instead of my usual three.I'm staying at my friend Robert's houseand I also saw a friend,
who we will call Robbie
(So I don't get confused because of hanging out with two Roberts.),which I haven't seen in over 7 years. It's good to have friends.You can tell who I am,I'm the husky one!

If you haven't heard,Hurricane Patricia is crashing into the west side of the Country of Mexico,with winds of 200 miles an hour.The main reason I'm concerned,besides the Humanitarian aspect of the storm,is the fact that the weather pattern is reaching as far asAustin, Texas,and is raining heavily on my"Formula 1"race set for tomorrow.Qualifying is todayand is in a rain delay as I write,so I'm hoping the good Lord is a F1 fanand it'll stop raining soon!

How Humiliating

I recently told all of you that I went to see my Doctor in my Post,A Couple Of Observations.When I went in to see her,I said,"Hey Doc,I accidentally swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills!"She told me to have a few drinksand get some rest.Did you hear about the newest"High Tech"they are using in the delivery room?It' cordless!I found out the difference between an oral thermometerand a rectal thermometer while I was there.The taste.Isn't it a little bit unnerving that doctors call what they do,a practice!At least I know I drive too fast to worry about cholesterol.I started complaining about this pain I was having to my doctor,she said,"We've run every test we can think of and the results show you're out of money."What I would like to know is,"What do you call a doctor who finishes last in his medical school class?"Answer:A Doctor.
