Mid-week

Good morning my friends & loved ones,

It's a sunshiney day here in Western NY. Not snowing, not too cold and the birds are out eating like there is no tomorrow. I swear we have to fill the bird feeder at least twice a week. We've kept our eyes out for squirrels, or cats (one has recently taken to sitting under the bird feeder hoping to catch an unsuspecting feathered friend) but we're sure it's just the birds eating a lot.

I was watching the documentary Metallica: Some Kind Of Monster recently and, yes it must be difficult to work in a situation like that for such a long period of time, but eventually one must just drop all of the crap and work for the common good. Talk about messed up: These guys are whacked!!!!!! Which brings me to....

Ridiculous item of the day: Picture it, you're at a bar, drunk, having a grand ole time and you get the "brilliant" idea to take off your clothes, run naked to a friend's car, and hide and surprise said friend. Here's the clincher: You hide in the wrong car and there's a woman in the front seat. Well, this is what happened to a state prosecutor in Key West, Florida. Needless to say, he was charged with indecent exposure and disorderly intoxication. He is also on leave w/out pay.

One more item: For the first time in 142 years, the British monarch won't be attending the wedding of one of their children. Yes, the Queen has opted not to attend the wedding of Charles & Camilla (the horsey couple). No matter what her reason is, good for her. Reportedly stated by a journalist for the Guardian, "Now all it (the wedding) needs is a punch-up at the reception." Be careful what you wish for.

more later,
