End of September and the chill is setting in.
I can't believe the last thing I wrote was around the first of the month and that was weight statistics.
I am tending to totally forget about this place and just blithely go on about my business doing basically nothing.
I finally joined the "tweeter" band wagon. I guess I really do like my new phone. Hell, who would have thought I would become part of the I-Phone generation..... 2 funny.
We also picked up an I-Pad 2. Sort of funny.. here we are, both of us in our 60's, and the wife is sitting there doing pintrest of the Ipad and me tweeting on the Iphone while watching tv at night. Damn politicians any way plus those friggin housewives... damn Andy any way. Hell, teenagers got nothing on us ! ! ! !
Ran across a funny article via Drudge.
Woman enters half-marathon, ends up winning full marathon by mistake
Last Sunday, Meredith Fitzmaurice had planned to run the half-marathon at the Run for Heroes in Amherstburg, Ontario. She hoped to do it as a test run. Then she was going to try to achieve a Boston Marathon qualifying time at a race in Detroit next month.
But on Sunday, she missed a turn for the half-marathon route, and ran the full marathon. And won. By accident.

Take the time and read the comments. Minimalist haters for a change.

Drone kills
Quick thought: Use Firefox or another program to view blogs. IE does not work very well.
Just what is becoming of this country when we feel the need to defend ourselves against the very people we have elected.

Colorado town to vote on drone hunting licenses
DEER TRAIL, Colo. (UPI) -- The people of Deer Trail, Colo., will vote
in a special referendum Oct. 8 to decide whether the town of about 550
will issue hunting licenses for drones.
The proposed ordinance was written by and is being lobbied for by Phil Steel, who said Tuesday he is concerned about the federal government's efforts to set parameters for drones to fly in U.S. airspace, possibly at lower altitudes than manned aircraft, The Denver Post reported.
"My intent is to encourage people to shoot back," Steel said. We've lost our patience.
The Federal Aviation Administration has officially frowned on that concept, warning shooting unmanned aircraft could result in prosecution.
Steel has already started selling unofficial licenses that have a spot for the Deer Trail mayor's signature. So far, he's had 60 buyers, mostly from out of state and as far away as Australia, the Post said.
Steel's proposed ordinance would require the town, located about 55 miles east of Denver, to issue licenses for $25 per year to anyone who speaks and can read English. License holders would be authorized to shoot at drones flying below 1,000 feet over private property during daylight hours.
Steel, who has set up Professional Drone Hunters Inc., a company he says will be a vendor for governments issuing licenses, said Tuesday, "It's a question of not whether licenses are going to be sold, but a question of whether the town is willing to accept free money."
