Quick - Turn to the left!
« on: March 28, 2010, 10:54:30 AM »
What do you see to the left of you, right now, this instant?

I see my window, overlooking the front walk and driveway.  My wife's escape and my F250 are parked in the driveway.  There's a squirrel hopping about looking for food.

A bookshelf; an old cpu and printer I need to do something about; a dead UPS; a four piece Sage fly rod in its case; and a Battenkill fly reel (Is it the third weekend in April yet?).

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

A floating shelf holding several wire mesh desk organizers.  The organizers mostly hold my EDC stuff, other than my firearm.  Above the shelf are two bass guitars hanging on the wall, with a Pink Floyd scarf pinned to the wall behind them.  I need to wash the scarf.  Below the shelf is a wooden peg rack holding several guitar cables and a VGA cable that snakes around the room to the TV.  I can hook the VGA cable to my laptop for when I want to watch videos.  Also to my left is my nightstand.  There's an alarm clock on it, and a couple spindles of blank DVDs.  Next to them is a holster velcroed to the top of the nightstand.  The holster holds an XD .45, spare mag, and a liner lock knife.

Yeah, I'm loafing in bed with a cup of coffee and my laptop on one of those hospital tables that I found on Overstock.com.

Great table!!

A stack of laundry, a basket of laundry, a half bottle of cheap wine, a couple wineglasses, a roll of toilet paper (that one is a mystery to me), a camera and assorted cables, a rocking chair, and a fireplace stuff with stacks of books.  No, we are not burning them, it's just a handy place to store them.

When her allergies are going, my wife will grab a roll from the pantry even if she has to push aside a case of Kleenex to get to it.

I see the endless ravings of a bunch of lunatics, mindless beings locked in a stuggle between reality and fantasy, their only tangible link to sanity being the eternal question, "What's to the left?".

I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

In conjunction with my living room, a bottle of wine, and a wineglass?

If I was in the house when I hit this thread it would have been a wall to my left.

Snice I'm in the cabin taking a break from my morning in the garage I have a pretty good view.

I can see the garage, the wheel loader, the tractor, the golf cart, and a bunch of grass turning green just begging to be mowed once or twice a week for the rest of the year until it frosts.

Now if you would have said right I have a very nice view of the the waves hitting the bank right past the fire pit.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
