Watch it to the end....

As an accountant I found this entertaining. But it does say something about the times we live in where everybody gets a trophy and Fact are Not Facts.

I am

So on the way to the hospital the other day to visit my girlfriend who has now received a lung transplant I come up to the intersection of Airport and 6th Street. There is a plastic grocery bag in the middle of the intersection. Airport Blvd is 6 lanes and 6th Street is 4 lanes and this bag is right in the center of the interchange and moves as cars go whipping past. As cars turn it moves this way and that but basically stays right in the same spot just spinning from all the movement around it.

I look at the bag and see my life right now. I have no control, I'm being spun this way and that as I try to put out the dumpster fire that my life has become. I think I am starting to get a cold, my back hurts, my feet hurt, I'm losing my mind. I'm working on pure adrenalin it seems now. I don't know how much longer I can do this. There is so much work to be done at her house to get it ready for a lung transplant patient. At least I had a vacation right after her surgery so I started the work with something in the tank but the tank grows drier by the day. More people have started to contribute but it seems like I am all alone in this fight.

I'm tired, I am the plastic bag.

American Land Uses

As seen at The Big Picture. http://ritholtz.com/

Very interesting to see just how we use the land in America. Do we really need 2 million acres devoted to Golf?

A Fine Mist of Bullshit

I haven't listened to the podcast but I liked the name of it and Rudy Giuliani inside a poop emoji.

Meat Car

Been reading the blog of Elisson "Lost in the Cheese Aisle" for quite some time. He has been recently diagnosed with ALS. His style of writing was always witty and I think even with a terminal illness he still has the touch. Go take a read

Colorado Weather

We have been having some active weather lately in Colorado. Lots of rain, hail and wind. With all the rain the soil is saturated and you add in the wind and now 2 of my trees have been blown over. We propped them back up and tied them to posts with ratchet straps. One of the trees, the Northern Elm, though is probably 20ft tall so I don't know if it will make it. The other is my peach tree. The peach is the only tree that has fruit on it still as all the apples have disappeared(squirrels?) and the cherry had no blossoms this year.

rAndOm......

From the mouths of babes....

In the front yard god son playing on the sidewalk with a rollie pollie, up walks god daughter and stomps on the rollie pollie. The mother asks why would she do that. The god son responds trying to diffuse the situation, "Don't worry mom his soul is with Jesus and his body is with concrete".









God son believes that Jesus must be a zombie because he died and came back to life just like a zombie does.










Musings from the hospital.....

While taking my girlfriend for walks around the hospital floor there is a prisoner who is chained to the bed with a guard always in his room. My girlfriend has COPD really bad so we take breaks as we walk and we took a break right at the prisoners room and he was watching TV. He was watching.....COPS.

On the menu the other day at the hospital I noticed they had Beef Wellington. I like Beef Wellington. Filet with vegetables wrapped in a puff pastry, yum. Well it turns out Beef Wellington at the hospital is ground beef with a vegetable compote covered by a soggy bread like substance. So I asked what would Surf and Turf be at the hospital, girlfriend responds

"Pigs Feet and a Goldfish".

We laughed for quite some time at that.

Just add eyes......

How not to defend yourself.from a knife attack

Literally, laughed out loud.
No idea what they are saying but I loved it when they switched from a knife to a spatula.

There is no Collusion....

...except on the day I asked Russia to find the 30,000 missing Clinton emails the Russians started phishing and hacking attacks on Clinton's servers and the DNC servers. Probably just unfortunate timing right?

Almost sounds like....  "He fell on a knife 9 times. Very unfortunate for the young man."
