Yesterday we went to the Ida Louisiana Harvest Festival and we had a great time. Excellent band that could play Chicago and CCR and more. My wife was able to walk more than she has in years. Glad to read she had pepe in her step! Music will do that!

Pain level is high. Bones hurt. Cooler weather and immersion in cold water for the ditch work. Some of these headgates jam and I cannot open them without getting into the water. Land owners too cheap to have bridge planks and proper gates.

Is there no legal aid organization in New Mexico?
(I keep congratulating myself for not moving there when I had the chance.)

Watching “The voice” with the wife tonight.
A really hot young lady born in Cibolo Texas living in Lacey Washington turned four chairs.
I am a pretty hot guy, born in Lacey Washington and once lived in Cibolo Texas.
I once turned four chairs also in a redneck bar.
My brother be-bopped up to the jukebox and dropped a bunch of quarters in… “ say bro, can I pick out a song?”
“Sure” he said.
I was seated before Boy George’s Karma Chameleon started playing, as my brother was the lone guy at the jukebox picking out some more songs… it was at least 4 chairs turning while what the hell? Was said.

Man, you ain't gettin' paid. Fark that shite. But it speaks volumes of the man’s character. At some point you have to ask yourself what incentive system you're creating when you demonstrate you'll work yourself into the ground even when they've told you you won't get paid for it. Why would they buy the cow when it will kill itself to give them milk for free? Keep showing up for work so they can't say you've quit, as John said before, but you don't have to knock yourself out. If something's going to cause undue wear and tear on your body, don't do that part. At $0 pay, you're engaged in a recreational activity. Minimize the un-fun parts.

Congratulations everyone! As of this morning your share of the national debt is $92,500. Same for every man woman and child in the country. Huzzah!

If it was up to me I wouldn't have spent that much. I figure at least half of it was wasted. Way too many people on the government payroll.

That is why thanks to the current political class, we now have 87,000 new IRS employees to collect money… they are only going after the wealthy though. I heard it from Washington, so it must be true. They create a monster, and throw us in its jaws.

Idea— (me meddling again!)… Tell them that since they can’t, or won’t, pay you, you quit. BUT… if they will give you, in writing, an assurance that they will pay you what is coming to you after the first of the year, you will stay on to see the year out without pay. Like I said, just an idea…

They create a monster, and throw us in its jaws. It's true! For certain it is! But... they are a bit behind the times. The statistics they use are somewhat dated. In 1900 the average income was $674 per year. So... if you make more than 10K a year you are obviously wealthy right?? I do believe I need a drink...

$674 in 1900 is $23000 today, at least.

I’m a realist. Who’s checks are u cashing? Did u call your financial advisor or a government agency when that bad day happened? I work around a lot of so called “conservative’s” who’s only income in my tax dollar. Talk is cheap.

No evening pipe for me tonight. I burned the roof of my mouth badly on last night's dinner. I'm letting it heal in the hopes I can partake at the pipe club meeting this Saturday.

No evening pipe for me tonight. I burned the roof of my mouth badly on last night's dinner. I'm letting it heal in the hopes I can partake at the pipe club meeting this Saturday. What did you have that was so hot? I often do that with pizza if I eat it too soon after coming out of the oven - the cheese gets me every time.
