Reads with Scotch ’s comments from the Axis Mundi X group.

my first guess would be allot.

yes autumn would have been nice... of course having a summer would have been pretty sweet as well. it is a bad sign, when you skip summer in Alaska it means you are in for one nasty winter. Much work is to be done, if we are to survive the winter this year.



But the weather has cleared up a bit... still raining every day, still cool, but at lest the sun is coming out a little bit every day.

I really don't care when I wake up... it is always 5 51/2 hours after I fall asleep. I think I have said this before... maybe. My wife can't stand it, she requires like 22 hours of sleep every day "or else". I am not a fan of the mornings only because I can not get out of bed without waking her. This starts her whining for a good 20 minutes, mumbling in-coherently with some profanity sprinkled about for flavor. She has told me to just partake in morning luv'ns and go back to sleep... yeah that doesn't work. Then I really wake her up... and up myself, and I get to listen to her complain all day about being tiered AND cranky. I would drug her with scrips but then she might take my jeep for a joy ride or something.
What I would really like is to sleep for as long as I wanted... It would be pretty nifty to sleep for 14-15 hours on a saturday.

Eh, they are not that bad... as long as you have lived near a commercial airport your whole life, you should have no problem with flying things of that size.

Interesting little tidbit: There are regions of Alaska that are quarantined every summer due to the amount of bloodsucking flying critters. There are confirmed reports of killer mosquito swarms taking down fully grown moose. If they can suck a moose dry just think what they could do to us...

p.s. that is where I send all my midget encounters.

Alaska has 4 distinct seasons

Cool
cool and wet
straight cold
Fucking freezing!

So you know, just saying... there you go.

I thought that is what I said in #127... were not gong to start agreeing again are we, Amelia?

I don't know if that is true NB I really hope it is not. It is right up their alley though.

I would like to see a third party... call it middle America party. A party were all the hot issues aren't on this side or that.

Abortion
guns
taxes
social programs good ones bad ones


I just think it totally sucks that all Americans are represented by either uber left loons, or uber right loons... where is Joe blow, and Jane Wayne. What ever happened to by the people for the people?

I think we should try to systematically change everyone in congress to someone new. over the next... 7 years. 7 years of house cleaning.



Aside from all the obama supporters, when was the last time anyone here felt good about who they were voting for... I don't think there has ever been an election I voted in that I didn't hold some reservations about the person I was voting for. That's a shame, always picking what pile smells less like shit.

Take a seat Amelia... and a breath. It was all a bad dream, his career is over and we don't need to fret about it anymore.

As an after thought: I have been thinking about this thread all day, yesterday. We all seem to be able to agree our elected officials are pretty much worthless. My take is maybe they are worthless because we allow them to be. Term after term the same crooks get their seats again. Everyone seems to be happy with "their" congressmen/senator but pissed at everyone else's. Term limits and a vote of no confidence, both would improve things I think.

Also I think holding these wahoo's to a high standard is a must. They can not be judged the same way you or I are. they have the ability to affect/effect(SP?) millions of peoples lives. That right there means they loose personal privacy, they are public figures. PUBLIC, this means they are subject to public review. Do I care that Edwards cheated on his ill wife. No. I think it is a very clear picture of his character. Cheating is one thing, cheating on a dieing women is something else.

Two Kelly I count four... maybe my hallucinogens/tranquilizers are working overtime... Perhaps it is just my brazen persona that is distorting my reading of the thread.

you mean synchronized swimming ;-p

So where should the Olympics be held next? Darfur? Oh I know how about Zimbabwe!

I enjoy the games but there are more important things then the athletes. Yes they do really great things, but what is the importance of what they are doing? Isn't one of the points of the games to bring people together? Were the Olympics not started to unite a multi-culture empire? The games are suppose to be a sign of peace and triumph of the human spirit, not looking the other way for the sake of the athletes. The games could have been held anywhere. There are plenty of places that could have housed the games. The summer Olympics in Beijing are a mockery of the Olympics. everything is being staged. has anyone noticed how empty the stands are?(** I have only seen a few events, but the ones I have seen the stands were half empty) I am split between watching them for the love of the sport, but I can't stand watching it through chin-o-vision.

Me working at home would be very bad... I don't think I would get anyting done. I think I would spend most of my time playing with the puppy, messing around in my garage building some silly contraption... and a whole mess of other things.

It isn't as dificult as one would think... Well it is difficult to be good at it. The silent drill team (USMC) has all sorts of "tells" to give comands silently It really comes down to a team working well togeather.

cuckolded?

Nope, I just figured you enjoyed playing with pom-poms, prancing around the living room doing a little "show" for the wife... It's OK Buddy, your secrets safe with me, I won't tell anyone. Eh, well other then those present.

Hmmm... interesting. Apparently your pom-poms have obstructed your better judgment. I care not about Frost. I can appreciate that he is well respected, even if I myself am not concerned with his life's work. Irene is beyond random. To me she just comes off as a person pendulum swinging between troll and someone that is actually participating in this forum. That and she makes off subject inflammatory statements, thus my assertion that her medication is off.

I DO like your pink and red Pom-pom's Rusty. Do you practice with them often?

So a sad update...



Up north it is still snowing and raining temp swinging between 25-45 degrees.



Here in Fairbanks it has rained every day for almost a month now. Overcast and all that droopy depressing shit.



A good example of bad things doing good: The horrible weather we have had this year has driven out all the terrorists. The roads are barren of over sized motor-homes, boats and all that. A few friends have over herd the bastards talking in restaurants about never wanting to come back.. Alaska sucks, this blows, screw this place. Yeah, So I am hoping that the bad weather holds on for a few more days... then tourist season will be over, and we will have successfully stemmed thousands of people from coming next year. This is good because next year I will be sending many heavy things into the air and I need not crush some wandering terrorist.
