Happy Belated Turkey Day

I hope everyone had a good meal yesterday and took the time to reflect on the blessings of the year. I only did part of that. I did eat a good meal, but I didn't do very much reflection. I'm not really sure why, because the previous 365 days weren't particularly blessed. I still have my family. My wife's arthritis is getting worse, but that is because she isn't on the right medication. Hopefully, that will change in a few days when we go and see her doctor. I've not worked at a regular full-time job since December last year, but I've had great part time work. But, I still have my family and that is the greatest thing I'm blessed with. What more can I ask for?

Making Good Drivers

There is a push in several overly liberal states to allow illegal aliens to obtain driver's license. The logic behind this is that a driver's license makes a person a better driver. HA! There are millions of licensed drivers in the United States and they say there is an accident every few minutes.

How does giving someone a license make them a better driver? Where is the logic for that? Well, the logic stems for the liberals want to legitimize illegal aliens. If you look st the states that currently do this, they have a high number of illegal Mexicans and overly liberal politics. New Mexico under Bill Richardson has worked to give illegals a license. Even the former state congressman, Obama pushed the same legislation in Ohio.

Again, the purpose is to make the roads safer. I certainly hope you understand it better than I do.

Do the Democrats have a chance?

On Sunday, November 18th, the Democrats were featured on CNN for a debate. What a mess! Before the Democratic party can even begin to compete with the Republican party, they have to do one thing that appears to be nearly impossible...Come together. They spent the majority of the debate pointing fingers at each other. I was not impressed with any on the stage. I was really surprised to see Obama refusing to answer a simple direct question. Edwards kept was the one that kept pointing fingers, chiefly at Clinton.

With all the Republican party has done to hurt the country in the past 7 years, they still have a leg up. Hey Democrats! Unite if you want a chance to win.

God, I love atheists!

Atheists are so eager to impress the rest of the universe that there is no God. Well, I actually don't have a problem with that. What I do find annoying is that when they start asking for scientific proof that God exists. We all know that hard scientific facts do not support the existence of God or another supreme being. They like to beat the rest of us over the head with it. They often remark that science does not require faith, but facts. REALLY? Read on...

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI for short, searches the skies for a signal for possible extraterrestrial life. I actually think it is a good idea. There might be someone out there. So far, after spending tens of thousands of donated money of several decades, there have failed to find one civilization. It may take longer but as long as people are shelling out the dough, it's science right?

SETI operates on the assumption that just because life exists here, around a yellow star, that the universe must be teeming with live. Makes sense. Here's the think. There is absolutely NO PROOF and NO EVIDENCE that life exists elsewhere. It may, but there is no proof.

Science is making a leap of faith. SETI scientists are doing the same thing that atheists say we cannot do. Believe in something without proof is foolish, childish and, as some have said psychotic. Tell me isn't SETI doing the same thing as the believers in a supreme being?


To be honest, I do believe that there is life elsewhere in the universe. I participate in the SETI@Home project. The point of the matter is that if atheists can beat Christians over the head with their beliefs, they should be on SETI, as well. Yeah, give us a break!

Not so hard

It isn't taking long to get to used to the Adderal. I am already having fewer palpitations. I'm glad its not continuing. It makes me feel that I need to stop taking them.

Now, I just have to start worrying about drug tests. Adderal shows up a drug test as amphetamines. It is a pain the ass to gather medical documentation every time I take a piss test. It ... pisses me off! LOL!

The Medicated Man

Man, I've had to start taking my ADHD meds again. I started yesterday. WOW! I'm antsy and I'm having bouts of palpatations. I know that it will pass in time, but it can make you worry. When you are my age and your heart goes nuts, you notice.

Cooling off

I certainly hope that every one is getting the plants in and cutting their roses back. Where I live, its going to be 26 degrees. I know that isn't cold for people who live in North Dakota, but it is here! LOL!

If you've not covered or closed your foundation vents you need to do that too. The utilities are going to be high enough as it is without having to spend extra needlessly.

Keep warm!
