How To Spot a Snake

Published on September 19, 2009 in Baby Boomer. 2 Comments

No seriously, how do you spot a snake? Not in the grass, in our garage.

Nancy came in yelling as if I had just let Sofi run wild outside in the traffic (which had just occurred) that there was a snake in the garage.

A BIG ONE.

She provided few details other than it was “under the car.” Which it wasn’t when I looked.

So I convinced her to jump in the car and skeedaddle and I would track it down.

This is not my garage.

(But it would be if I could afford a ’32 Ford roaster hot rod.)

My garage looks like most boomer garages: kid’s stuff, our stuff, parent’s stuff and last owner’s stuff. Finding a snake? And if I start moving things, they will be moved to the curb for trash day.

So how do I spot a snake? Is there snake bait?

Just leaving it alone is not an option according to the Commander in Chief.

Oh C’mon, I Can’t Be the Only One That Sees It, Right?

Edward Abbey’s 1975 novel, The Monkey Wrench Gang. Abbey’s work, was a fictional novel

about four nature lovers who decide to wage relentless war against America’s manic desire to spread the industrial system into every corner of the country.

Answers.com offers that, because of the novel, “the term “monkey-wrenching” came to mean “…sabotage, activism, law-making, or law-breaking…

Is is just me?

I gotta stop hanging out here. The guy sees peni everywhere.

OK, how about here? What’s his tongue look like?

Now I know you see it here…

Glenn Beck, Multimillionaire, Wants to Keep Non-voters Scared.

Published on September 17, 2009 in Baby Boomer. 0 Comments

Remember Sicko? The Michael Moore movie about the health care calamity?

Remember the Brit who said that the rich in the U.S. want to keep the poor in poverty and scared?

Glenn Beck is worth $23 million and is leading the charge to keep the poor exactly in their place – and scared.

The people who can quote the pap that Beck spews and tout him as their spokesperson, need to realize he’s got great health care. Even if he didn’t, he can afford not to have it.

Because, as the Brit pointed out: if the poor ever started showing up at the polling places, there would be a revolution.

In June, estimators at Forbes magazine pegged Beck’s earnings over the previous 12 months at $23 million, a ballpark figure confirmed by knowledgeable sources, and this year’s revenues are on track to be higher.

I Pledge Allegiance to My Ta-Tas

Published on September 15, 2009 in Baby Boomer. 3 Comments Tags: breast cancer, pledge, susan komen foundation, yoplait.

Nancy has had a bad run with her friends and breast cancer. Hopefully this wonderfully creative message will help.
Join Yoplait’s Facebook page and they will give a dime to the Susan Komen Foundation.

“If you don’t believe young women get breast cancer, you’re probably a young woman. And you’d be wrong. In fact, breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer death in young American women ages 15-54. Early detection can change that fact. So Yoplait wants every girl to pledge to get to know her girls. Know your girls. Lower your risk. Take the pledge. For every pledge, Yoplait will donate money to fund new breast cancer research benefiting young women.”
