It has been a while since I have pontificated about anything.  I have kinda mellowed out I guess.  Can you believe that?

I finally broke down and bought hearing aids.  I told the old boy I wanted some that would allow me to hear a mouse pee on a cotton ball.  He asked why I would want to do that.  I told him an old friend, Cat Cooper could do that without the aid of a machine.  I can turn mine up with a remote control and pretty much hear the heart beats of the checker at the grocery store.  Of course it also allows you to hear some sounds that you would just as soon not hear.  I am trying to ignore casual comments by passersby.

Gay marriage is hogging the news.  I am not sure how I feel about that subject.  I do believe that everyone should have an equal shot at the tax breaks that are offered to married couples.  Maybe we ought to just let folks do as they please as long as they don’t infringe on the rights of others.  I am equally as offended by the sight of two men “soul” kissing in the drug store as I am seeing a man and woman doing the same thing.  As long as neither group is trying actively to include me in their little group groping I am pretty sure they have a right to do what they please.  Thats about all I have to say on that subject.  Too much is being made of something that really isnt a politicians business.

The Russians are acting up again and the Prez seems hell-bent in getting involved, by saber-rattling about the rights of the Ukrainians.  Hell, 5 years ago, a Ukrainian was probably shooting at our guys in Afghanistan, and now we are doing all we can to rescue them.  Prez needs to pay more attention to some of the things that make the good ole USA a dicey place to live and less time in playing “war-horse”.  Get the damned keystone pipeline dug so we can get ourselves independent from foreign oil.  Get some new bridges built so cars don’t fall in the water when they cross the Mississippi.  Help the western states reforest their lands that have been ravaged by fires.  Get some desal plants built so we don’t run out of water.  He is so high on getting the young minorities in a better position to achieve their potential, well get them some basic work skills.  A basic work skill is not the ability to recognize an undercover cop from two blocks away.  A basic work skill is the ability to go to a job at 6:30 am, work all day and at 5;00 pm asking the boss, is there is anything else that needs to be done?  Repeating this process for a few years does wonders to your ability to get ahead.

See, you get me to ranting and there is hell to pay.

The Diamond 5 C ranch is coming along nicely.  We are pouring money into this little project like Michael Anthony was knocking on our door.  Ya’ll remember ole Michael, the guy that delivered the checks for John Beresford Tipton on the “Millionaire”.  We have bought a new building, got the septic system in process, an electrician on standby, looking for a carpenter., hopefully have a plumber lined up.  Couple of more months and a shower might be available and the place will be considered “female friendly”.  We are not yet to the point where I can just go out there and sit on the porch and rock, but its, coming.  I promise.

Hopefully there will be some more meaningful things happen in the near future that will require my comments.  I do love to entice my readers so that they can comment on what I have to say.  Some do, and some dont.  More should,.  It would be like having a conversation.  It would be like texting. LMAO
