I understand that the economy is so bad that Hootie is down to one Blowfish!
I learned that you can play country western CD music backwards. Seriously. As the music plays backward you get back your truck followed by your house, your wife (or girl friend) and finally your dog.
I took my "white" Toyota to the car wash yesterday and discovered it is still black. I don't know how long it will remain black because there are still lots of snow covered streets loaded with salt. It is okay because I got the car wash for free. Grasshopper No.3 (and family) gave us coupons to PDQ car wash at Christmas. My question is "does using a free coupon for a car wash stimulate the economy"?
I feel better today because we now have a fresh Presidential team leading the country. Their first order of business was to shut down Guantanamo Bay in Cuba where the alleged terrorists are being held. The terrorists will either be released or moved to a prison near you. Now that is progress! The "team" also made sure that torture techniques have been minimized. Terrorists will no longer be forced to watch old TV reruns of Matlock.
The weak economy has reached Harley Davidson in Milwaukee. That is a big deal because Harley has always symbolized the hardiness of America. They announced they would be laying off a total of 1100 employees. There is some consolation because Harley motorcycles always breakdown and leak oil. The service business should remain strong.
There are only 3 things certain in life. Death, taxes and that Heath Ledger (now deceased) will get the "best supporting actor" for his role as the Joker in for the last installment of Batman.
Our life (Mom and I) is so exciting that we have "slogged" our way through the first season of the TV series of Mad Men given to us on DVDs by Grasshopper No.5. I think there is a season two but I don't know if it is out on DVD. Season three begins this summer. The last session ended with an unwanted pregnancy, blackmail and a suicide. Good stuff!
So go forth and make you mark. Build your fortune. Make the world a little better place. Then retire to quiet desperation. I think I just described life's process.
Stay warm. Hug those close to you.
Love,
Dad
