Same Shit, Different Day!

It doesn’t matter if you go away and don’t read newspapers or even watch the news. Why? Because things just don’t change or change just enough to get you pissed all over again.

Minnesota was mad because they were paying $3.95 for a gallon of gas and when I told them we’re paying $4.31, they just couldn’t believe it!

A few months ago we were told Americans, young and old are obese and we need to do something about this. Then all of a sudden we have a food shortage – what in hell did we do – pig out and eat all the damn food?

Then I looked at local stuff, school boards are still trying to get a budget passed and it’s like some game of “them vs. us,” when it should be a collective effort to insure a solid education for our young people. We have one superintendent, who is refusing a pay raise; a librarian position more deemable than summer school programs, and demands to show what cuts administrators are taking,[no one seems to mention these administrators have actually saved these schools hundreds of thousands of dollars through innovative practices]. Bloody hell this is like some kind of competitive game and it makes me wonder is anyone hearing what anyone says these days?


On the brighter side the concerts in the park in Norwood are attracting quite a crowd and that’s good. Yeah, pass the hat and we’ll drop a few coins in but don’t look to get rich, we need our money for gas and food! We can’t afford cable anymore so these concert series are our entertainment, thank you very much!

Oh ya, let’s not forget we got high school graduations coming up too. Parties and congrats will be loud and clear as we watch the 2008 High School Seniors make that passage from high school into the real world. Someone should tell these graduates the difference between try and triumph is a little umph! Seriously, congrats to all the grads and best wishes for continued success. Keep safe and enjoy your day!

just remember to keep that stuff out of your mouth. The wild strawberries ready for picking now would taste much better.
