Bunnies

Drove to El Paso and back today. As with driving in other desert environments, J- Tree etc., bunnies frequently jump into the road. Suicide bunnies. Bunnies on a dare. Just plain dumb donkey bunnies. Caught in the headlights.

I think the real reason is much more nefarious. The bunnies and other animals that jump into the road and frequently are run over are on a mission. The mission is to kill humans by causing them to swerve and flip their automobiles. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn’t.

Might not be the best plan, the best way to rid bunnydom of humans. But after all they are just dumb donkey bunnies.

Non ultra Joy

Saw that dish soap today at a friend’s house. Why wouldn’t it be just advertised as Joy? Seems worse than regular Joy, this non ultra Joy.

How are you?

I am well. And you?

Oh, I am experiencing non Ultra Joy. Just plain old bliss, nothing special.

Ron White

Just watched him on videostored.com. The dude is not very funny. Maybe if I drank as much as he did, I would find him funny. Not that I never laughed as I was watching him, but he seemed more like a funny uncle or friend of the family, who would hold forth after dinner. First heard about him in an article in the New Yorker (talk about a different market) about the Blue Collar Comedy tour or whatever it was called. Ron White didn’t want to be part of Blue Collar TV series as he did not want to be typecast as “blue collar”. It’s going to take more than black suits and cheap scotch to not be typecast as blue collar.

Post Modern Shoe

Yesterday I was at Sears with Kelly and her grandmother. Betty needed some shoes for working out. 94 years old and going to the gym! While browsing the racks(Sears was a complete mess at 7 pm on a Sunday. No one puts anything back in the right place.) I saw a shoe made by Skechers. The tread and the materials of the upper were just like those of a tennis or running shoe. But the cut and shape was that of a dress shoe, a ballet flat it could be called. The hierarchy has fallen. Certain materials are no longer just for certain functions of shoe. But could you have a running shoe with a leather sole?

I am waiting for the denim tuxedo.

Pope Benedict lifts ban on Latin Mass

Not sure why so many Catholics want to have Mass said in Latin again. I would guess they really don’t want to understand what the priest is saying.

Unlimited Storage

Now that Yahoo! has unlimited storage are people going to keep all of their emails? Just how much data is that? How many harddrives somewhere in a warehouse, spinning away? And why do you think Yahoo! offers unlimited storage? To compete with Google? Storage now might be so cheap, but I think the reason is more sinister.

Weren’t Google and Yahoo recently cited as not being so nice as they want you to believe?

So…with all of this unlimited space, the government has unlimited data to trawl through finding out who knows whom, who is going where when with whom etc. And with the CIA just releasing all the illegal things they have done in the past 50 years…I am sure 50 years from now the CIA, or Homeland security(or whatever it will be called then – the Office of Peace, Happiness, and Global Safety) will release another report.

Am I being paranoid? You tell me
