Raw Notes From The Field - More From The Beach
ok, perhaps stupid was too strong. harsh even. how about ignorant, selfish and self absorbed? better? i think so.
heard a new word recently and i really like it. seems to cover a lot of things and be responsible for many of our current problems. oblivious + idiot equals an "obliviot". love it. oh, you think i am cynical and negative? ah, hello. to quote hudson in the 1986 movie alien, maybe you haven't been keeping up with current events but we are getting our a**es kicked, pal! things are not good folks. we are in debt up to our eyebrows. we are fighting two wars. unemployment is at 10% and real unemployment (the U6) is 16.5%. the gulf is covered in oil. iran is making nukes. mexicans are putting out hit contracts on american sheriffs and i personally know a bunch of people who are losing their homes.
recent quotes i liked.
"be courteous, be professional but have a plan to kill everyone you meet" from general james mattis usmc and i am quite sure some of you will not appreciate what he is saying but if you do and you like it check out some other interesting ones here.
"do you have a brain up there or is it just a wind up monkey with a tamborine" "maybe we should start calling you bubbles" said with great gusto by one of my daughters to the other one.
"do yo even know what an hermaphrodite is" just part of a conversation i caught between my son and his big sister.
"we should have our own reality show" "if we had our own reality show, dad wouldn't let us watch it" more from my kids in the back seat of the truck and they are correct, i wouldn't but no doubt it would be good tv.
"ok, wait...are we missing an aircraft carrier" my wife upon waking up, turning the coffee machine on and surveying the bay with the binos
according to the garmin foretrex 401 mounted on the handlebars, i was doing about 20 miles a day on the rei marin mountain bike and having a great time.
the SEAL tadpoles up the beach were not having as much fun. wet 'n sandy all day and all night. we love you guys and appreciate what you are doing for us.
claytons coffee shop on orange might be the all time greatest greasy spoon coffee shop in the world. probably not a good thing that they know me by name. try the huevos rancheros, corned beef hash, mexican scramble with chorizo or the banana pancakes. for burgers, i like the helo at dannys a couple of doors down.
