I'm Back!!!

Well it has sure been a while since I put my musings to the world. Last posted August 6th? Yep, quite a while indeed.

So how has the world been without me? Just as screwed up as ever I see, maybe even a little worse. It is an election year after all. Ahh, elections. A process that sounds good in theory yet never seems to materialize as it should. As the days pass and the race gets closer the candidates abandon all their morals and standards just to discredit the opposition's campaign and drag their personal lives through the media mud. It's a wonder anyone even bothers to vote considering the choices we have. Strange how it comes down to just a matter of "the lesser of two evils". Not quite what our forefathers had in mind I would imagine. Lord help us.

So let's see, the price of fuel is up. No surprise there. What does surprise me is that somehow everyone seems to think there is some easy fix for it. The only way I see a reduction in price is if the rest of the world suddenly quits becoming increasingly dependent on it. Laws of supply and demand.

Reality TV is still running amok. I personally thought that it would have run it's course by now but apparently the masses can't get enough of the mind numbing, "unscripted" acting. My only "reality" show addiction is American Idol and it too is beginning to wane on me. "All good things..." I guess.

The job is doing good I guess. I find it best not to complain as it could always be worse. I like what I do and my 55-65hr weeks provide the necessary finances to pay the bills as well as pay the ones that are behind. We still aren't ahead of the game (I wonder if we ever will be) but we are catching up.

My driveway has adopted a Jeep Wrangler. More open air travel except this thing holds the family. Now to get the motorscooter back on the road and legal.
