Trooper, Santa Maria

With only fear and good judgement
Holding us back
We sailed out on the Northern Sea
With a boat load of crazy people
Including the shotgun and me

Does somebody know how to drive this thing
Yelled the captain as he fell to his knees
I think I mighta had a little too much today
Take me to my cabin, please

Cruisin' on a sardine boat
Loaded with crazy people
And we shall be the Santa Maria
Looking for a brave new world

The first mate shouted from the crow's nest
I think I might see land out there
Nobody moved
From where they were laying
Cause nobody really cared

Mosquito fogging not necessary in 'Peg: officials

WINNIPEG - When is a nuisance enough of a nuisance to warrant action? When it comes to mosquitos, the city of Winnipeg says, "not yet."

The city's insect control branch says the buzzing and biting of mosquitoes may be bugging you, but it's not bad enough to start fogging with malathion to kill them.

Insect control spokesman Ken Nowalsky says two things are required before fogging takes place: the number of mosquitos in test traps must reach a certain number, and the weather must co-operate.

"Before we can ever consider going into a nuisance mosquito control program for fogging, we have to have three consecutive nights of 25 or more female mosquitos [in the traps], so we can't even contemplate residential fogging until that set of goals has been achieved."

For the province of Manitoba, a fogging campaign is triggered by West Nile virus, not nuisance mosquitos.

"Right now we look at a number of factors, none of which are present at this time," says Dr. Susan Roberecki is Deputy Chief Medical Officer. "We haven't yet identified West Nile in Manitoba, and were hoping to do that, usually first with birds."

Ontario and Saskatchewan have reported birds infected with West Nile.

To protect yourself from mosquitos, officials suggest covering up exposed skin and wearing insect repellent that contains DEET.




I think Joni Mitchell said it best...


Hey farmer farmer
Put away that d.d.t. now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

After a long night of making love, a man notices a photo of another man  on the woman's nightstand by her bed. He begins to worry...  
 
"Is this your husband?" he nervously asks.
 
"No, silly," she replies, snuggling up to him.
 
"Your boyfriend, then?" he continues.
 
"No, not at all,"  she says, nibbling away at his ears.
 
"Is it your dad or your brother?"  he inquires, hoping to be reassured.
 
"No, no, no!!!" she answers.
 
Then he demands, "Well, who in the hell is he?"
 
"That's me before the surgery."

A Cow Story....


Is it just me or does anyone else find it absolutely amazing that the U.S. government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington, and determine exactly what that cow ate. They can also track her calves right to their stalls, and tell you what kind of feed they ate. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around in their country, including people that are trying to blow up important structures in the U.S. Seems like a good solution is to give every illegal alien a cow as soon as
they enter the country.

Yo! This is cool!

I can post to my weblog via email now!  Expect more random thoughts from now on!  My network administrator at work has restricted access to blogger.com from work, so I have been unable to post as much as I would like to.  Ha Ha...  they can't keep me down!
 
 
Consequences


A little boy asks his Mum "why am I black and you're white"?;
"Don't even ask" she replies, "when I think back to that party...you're
lucky you don't bark!"

Here is an excerpt from an email we recieved this week... The names have been removed to protect the ignorant...



Being that I am going back to work on July 9th, I am looking for child care right now. Since I work wacky shifts and long hours, I am possibly looking at hiring a nanny (Filipino nanny). I was wondering if you know anything about this service or any member of your family knows anything. I'm stuck between hiring someone directly from the Philippines, or hiring someone who is already here. I work 6 on and 6 off and didn't really want someone living in my house on all my days off as well, so I was sort of looking for a week on, week off person. Do you know anything about this stuff? Let me know.
Thanks, XXXXX



Why not just say... "We think your entire race is comprised of nannys. We think you are all the same. We think less of your race than we think of our own. Your race makes great servants, we would like to own one"


Or am I over reacting?

Mike Guimond

I am writing this letter in regards to my misunderstood practical joke. I sincerely regret any troubles I have caused you. It was not meant to be malicious. It was intended to make people smile.

We have enjoyed a five year working relationship, and I hope we can continue to get along.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will; not the world is full
of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The
slogan, 'Press on,' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human
race.
-Calvin Coolidge

Wow this makes the fourth post today! I am the badger, I am the badger.

Do you associate sections of your life with particular songs? Shitty in the dumps songs.... Sunshiny things are looking better songs?

Jot me a quick email what your favorite "life" songs are?
Sometimes I feel like something is gone here
Something is wrong here, I don't belong here
Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town
And I've lost what I found, it'll all turn around
