Got another of those E-mails today........

Where some poor Soul with no heirs is killed in a horrible calamity, and the weary Attorney, Barrister, Counsel......can't seem to find anyone to help him out of the terrible jam he has.......

How do I get rid of $9.7 million dollars.........here's the letter in it's entirety, including his address, just in case you want to help.....
I am Barrister Ramli Bin Azizi, personal attorney to Mr. Michael Hernandez, an expatriate who was resident here in Kuala-Lumpur , Malaysia . On the 2nd of January, 2006 I received a call that my client died in the Tsunami Disaster with his wife and child while on vacation at Phuket Island in Thailand. Since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my client's extended relatives but it has proved unsuccessful. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the funds left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared un-serviceable by the bank where this deposit is lodged.

Particularly, the bank where the deceased had an account valued at US$9,700, 000.00 (Nine Million and Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). The bank has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the account confiscated. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the biological relatives of my late client, I hereby seek your consent to present you to the bank as his next-of-kin since you are a foreigner, so that the balance on his account can be transferred to you as inheritance and thereafter, you and me can share the money; 45% to me, 40% to you, and 15% will be donated to the Tsunami Disaster Charity Fund. As a lawyer I will obtain from the relevant authority, necessary legal paperwork that will be used to substantiate and legalize our claim to the inheritance. All I require is your consent; honest co-operation and assistance to enable us see the deal through. Finally, I guarantee that the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please contact me via my alternative email address: barrister.ramliazizi@gmail.com to enable us discuss further.

Thank you
Barr. Ramli Bin Azizi

Swine Flu.........

So, we have a Pandemic of the Swine, Mexican, H1v-whatever Flu, and we're all gonna die.

I have received, via Company e-mail from a truly well meaning employee....and this thing was sent to all 200 or so Folkes on our Global network, an advisory for how to deal with the Flu, avoid getting it, and the associated stress of worrying that you're going to get it........

Sorry, Folkes, but I'm not joining in on this MSM created Frenzy......you see, it's the Flu. Just happens to be a different strain than we've seen before.

The hoopla stated when "somebody" reported 70 deaths in Mexico, then it escalated to 150 Swine Flu related deaths in Mexico City alone......Hory Clap, that's enough to worry anybody down here in SoCal........

Over a hundred....and counting.....schools across the U.S. have been closed according to FOX NEWS . Hory Double Clap!!!

But then, remember that 150 deaths in Mexico City number?....."The World Health Organization counted at least 57 deaths in Mexico, although it wasn't yet clear if this larger number was due to swine flu."

Hmmm, dropped quite a bit, didn't it.....and I've read as low as 12 CONFIRMED deaths attributable to this particular Flu.

We've been issued Traveler's advisories against nonessential visits to Mexico. Because of the Flu.....hmm, check the chart that I brazenly stole from "somewhere".....

Although, I would personally add "Horrible Death" to the first column, unless you don't consider being kidnapped, robbed, beheaded and thrown in a ditch by a Cartel Bandido "Horrible"......

And then there's Egypt.......killing 400,000 pigs, a mainstay of their Coptic Christian People.....riots and such will probably kill more People than the Swine flu, which YOU DON'T CATCH FROM PIGS, would ever do....

But just to be safe.........


Bottom lone, Folkes....It's the Flu. Here's some real live bonafide statistics on the "Regular" Flu:

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 35 to 50 million Americans come down with the flu during each flu season. The CDC estimates that in the US more than 100,000 people are hospitalized and more than 20,000 people die from the flu and its complications every year.

That's the regular, non Mexican, non Swine, non HV1-whatever Flu. We have as of today.....exactly ONE confirmed death attributable to this strain in the whole United States.......

So....Wollf's questionable wisdom for all my Friends and Folkes out there in Web land?

Like it says in the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Universe....."Don't Panic." As your Momma always told you........"Wash your Hands". If you're sick stay home.

You'll be fine. I mean it.
Be Well,
Wollf

My Ear Worm........

And.....we get the Garage Door Opener today for the New Lair....

For reals.......Those with tender sensibilities, who don't want to hear a thoroughly pi$$ed off American Soldier flaming, verbally, a contingent of Iraqi Police.....just skip this Post.....it is all the rage on the Inner Tubes, though, and I understand what he's saying.

Hey Dragn.........

Why I lourves me some "Day by Day" comic strip, and why a link is always in the right sidebar for today's finest.......


See what I mean? Just a little bit of a change, and "voila" it's almost Us....


Well, except for that gun part.....I'd NEVER use a pistol inside the house, I'd take the bottle outdoors.

Heh.

(pre-set for noon publish)

The New Lair........

And something I just realised.....Both Wollfs and Dragns have Lairs..... Foxes and Coyotes and Bears, oh my, have Dens.....We have a Lair, our hideaway......thought you'd enjoy a couple photos........

The rear raised deck, well built for entertaining, and maybe a hot tub.......

The totally unnecessary photo of the back yard itself.......

And the view from the deck, that's Mount Baldy, aka "Boney" back there, a favorite "right in my own back yard" wilderness haunt......The "Satwiwa" begins just a few blocks over........

We've taken a few truckloads over as of this weekend and loaded them into the two car garage, with the big move coming this Friday and weekend.......

We are so looking forward to it.........here we go an another grand adventure....
Wollf

Moving......oh boy...

It's 1030 hrs, Saturday.....sitting on the Lanai, contemplating "the move". Kitteh and Uber are meandering around, and I have been searching for something useful to do without getting in M'Lady Dragn's way.....

An insurmountable task. I think when she did her sixty day trip to South America, the Galapagos, et all, a few years ago, that she must have been surreptitiously bitten by a Tasmanian Devil.......

Hory Clap, that Woman is a Whirlwind. She is Soooo excited about "the move" and "The Wedding".....she just doesn't stop.....until she simply collapses from exhaustion at the end of the day.....

Men are only useful during a move for lifting heavy things. When I moved into this little cracker box condo ayear ago, it was Guys Only.....I just threw everything willy nilly into my truck that would fit, swiped a big stake bed from the Office, and had my "People" move the big stuff.....

Hey, my toolbox alone requires a minimum one ton lift gate.....I'm a Guy. (By he way, that is no exaggeration about the toolbox, it's four and a half feet long, five feet high, and two and a half feet deep......Guys, you know the one you've always wanted, the Knaack Box.....Hoo-Ah!!

Anyways, where was I?......Oh yes, M'Lady packs a bit differently.......all things of like kind are packed together in boxes and containers with content marked clearly on the exterior. Locations for the unpacking portion of the mission are clearly legible...."Kitchen". "Garage". "Master Bedroom". "Cubs Bedroom".....ad infinitum, you get the drift.

I guess I'm just a loser at moving. *sigh*.....

No, I'm NOT, dammit. I can lift heavy things. That's what we Guys are for, after all........Yay for musculature. It gives meaning to our lives......heh.

Oh......and we got "Renter's Insurance", because it's a Lease Option that we're doing....and all the "Basics" are covered, but one thing kinda jumped out at me. We have the standard "Jewelry, gold, silver, computers", et cetera loss coverage....but then there's an additional and separate "Firearms" coverage.......

That intrigues and maybe disturbs me. One: I didn't tell anyone that I"might" just own any firearms. Two: What the heck is $2,500.00 going to cover....my ammunition?
*Two was kind of a joke*.....

Anyways again, I'd better get off my butt and do something useful and out of the way....maybe I can sand the deck, or paint the molding or.....I know!!!

I'll go lift something heavy.
See you later,
Wollf

I decided that I want to head back toward writing.......

.......rather than just posting for posting's sake.

And, although my Life right now is jam pack full of wonders and fun and things that need to be done, I am going to Make time to play that game.

So....I was looking around the web for some ideas, and lessons to hone a craft that I never will succeed at , when I found this absolute gem.......

Just in case you need some writing inspiration. Every year, English teachers from across the USA can submit their collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays. These excerpts are published each year to the amusement of teachers across the country. Here are some "winners" from a few years ago, hmm, I do so wish that I had this talent.

Wait.....maybe I do......

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli, and he was room temperature Canadian beef.

5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

7. He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.

8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife’s infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM machine.

9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.

10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.

11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you’re on vacation in another
city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30

12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.

13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.

14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

15. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan’s teeth.

16. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

17. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant, and she was the East River.

18. Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.

19. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.

20. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.

21. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.

22. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.

23. The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

24. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.

25. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.

*One or two, I wrote myself.....how are your metaphors?*
Add some in the comments....come on, now, let's get more interactive than a dinner conversation with a sixteen year old with an i-touch....or something like that.

Whispering Grass......

One of my rather odd dreams last night included my taking M'Lady Dragn to a small, dimly lit bar somewhere on the other side of the world, think "Play it again Sam" type of place.....

And there was a sultry Lady in Red lying on a Grand piano.....smoky atmosphere, and she was singing Whispering Grass.......

Couldn't find the sultry, but this just gave me an old fashioned kick in the pants....

Ya gotta admit......I'm a bit of an odd duck.

An ode to Piracy.........

I didn't write about my feelings on the kidnapping of the U.S. flagged Maersk Captain and attempted takeover of the ship and Crew.....

But it got me to thinking, as these things are wont to do....personally, I'm of the opinion that you meet agression with overwelming force, and the best permanent solution to the problem of these backward, zodiac riding terrorists, is to allow a lawful protector or two on each ship.

A Man with a Barett .50 can make big holes in a little boat from well outside their AK47 range......

Or, you could call the "A" team.......oops, my bad, the graph below shows the problem......

And of course we should supply this book as required reading to all Merchant Seamen........it has pretty pictures too.....*not disparaging, I just made a funny*.....sheesh

And finally, maybe a Bumper Sticker, probably should be in Somali, for the stern of all ships, just as a reminder......

Have fun....I have preparations to make.....making the move to the new Lair on May 1st....oh, I owe you pictures. My bad.

27 JUNE 2009.........

Oh, did I tell anybodies that M'Lady Dragn is soon to be an "Honest Woman"?

She said "Yup!!!" to that question I asked her, and as of the day posted above, will henceforth and forever more be referred to as Missus Wollf, unless I forget, or get bored with that moniker....you know how I am.

We spent the better part of Sunday buying cups and plates and dishes and tablecloths and 20 cases of soda and reserving a few cases of adult libation......

Anybodies that will be in the area, send me an e-mail if you might be interested in showing up for a pretty darn good time.....we'll be Bar B Queing Tri-tips and Chickens, filling the back of my Jeep Commanche with Beer and sodas, live band....
(probably NOT the Allman Brothers), we'd love to see you.

The E-mail is in the right sidebar, just above the Day by Day cartoon.....

Hard to believe that it's been TWO YEARS since "the troubles"......and even more difficult to believe that this absolutely wonderful Woman shows the slightest interest in this ol' soldier, let alone want to spend the rest of her born days with me.......

Wow. Tonite, I'll try and remember to take some shots of the new Lair and it's views. Between M'Lady and moving into nice digs again, and the extatic looks on the Cubs with all the news....I'm a pretty happy guy......still goofy as all heck, but down right happy.

Oh, M'Lady texted me this morning to confirm my birth date as xx/xx/xxxx. I responded that it depended who was asking, and "why"?

She replied,"For the Marriage License, silly Wollf!".

Ow OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
*that was howling*
Be good,

A wonderful Easter weekend.......

I'm going to attempt to get back to amusing myself by writing more about what's going on in my Life......hope one of you enjoys......

Saturday, I took M'Lady out to the Antelope Valley....that's near Palmdale-Lancaster to show her the Poppies in bloom, it's really a beautiful sight when they're warmed up.......miles and miles of that wonderful color.

It was still a bit cool for them to all be open, but the photo gives you and idea.....

As we arrived in the Valley, I pulled over on the side of one of the many long, isolated roads to get get out and take some pictures, when I noticed something off to the West about 200 meters away, and told M'Lady, since Uber Doggen was with us,.....

That this was probably not the best spot to get out.......

She agreed, albeit not for the same reason as I.......You see, as I was turning around the Avalanche, she exclaimed, "Wollf, those aren't boulders!! I saw one move....."

Maybe I'm easily amused....but they sure weren't, and under Her mild protest, we drove in closer.....pic's below......

The Border Collie paid complete attention to us while we were near his Flock......
The sheep did what sheep do....not recognizing me for Wollf in the Uber Wagon.....just looked at us......
And of course, proof that there is one in every Family.....









Then, finally, up the road a mile or so, Uber got to do his favorite thing....oops, I almost forgot, EVERYTHING is Uber's favorite thing.....

We played fetch and ran around until we were exhausted......

Well...not exactly.....Uber was exhausted.

The Easter Hike and Uber's Birfday day party in the next Post.

By the way, I swear, one of the sheep was amused with M'Lady's faux pas too......

Good Friday.......

Actually, a doubly Good Friday if you glance at the previous Post.....

But remember, those of you who are not celebrating Passover, the Crown of Thorns that this is all about....

This very interesting photo is called the Crown of Thorns Galaxy, a few million light years off in space.......

Whatever your Judeo-Christian Faith, have a wonderful and Blessed weekend.....

Yup..........taking the next step......

It's been Two Years....wow, since the "troubles", and resultant divorce.

It's been One Year since M'Lady Dragn "re-entered" my life.

This shows up via FedX at my offices today........


I'm a LONG way from the beginning of this journey when I subscribed to the Rod Stewart money quote on relationships, "The next time I feel the need to get married, I'll simply find a woman that I can't stand....and buy her a house."

M'Lady is truly a Daisy.
Wish me luck.

Obama May Block Sun's Rays to End Global Warming
Wednesday, April 08, 2009
FOX News........

WASHINGTON — The president's new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth's air.

John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month that the idea of geoengineering the climate is being discussed.

One such extreme option includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays. Holdren said such an experimental measure would only be used as a last resort.

"It's got to be looked at," he said. "We don't have the luxury of taking any approach off the table."

• Click here to visit FOXNews.com's Natural Science Center.

Holdren outlined several "tipping points" involving global warming that could be fast approaching.

Once such milestones are reached, such as complete loss of summer sea ice in the Arctic, it increases chances of "really intolerable consequences," he said.

Twice in a half-hour interview, Holdren compared global warming to being "in a car with bad brakes driving toward a cliff in the fog."

At first, Holdren characterized the potential need to technologically tinker with the climate as just his personal view. However, he went on to say he has raised it in administration discussions.

Holdren, a 65-year-old physicist, is far from alone in taking geoengineering more seriously.

The National Academy of Science is making climate tinkering the subject of its first workshop in its new multidiscipline climate challenges program.

The British parliament has also discussed the idea.

The American Meteorological Society is crafting a policy statement on geoengineering that says "it is prudent to consider geoengineering's potential, to understand its limits and to avoid rash deployment."

Last week, Princeton scientist Robert Socolow told the National Academy that geoengineering should be an available option in case climate worsens dramatically.

But Holdren noted that shooting particles into the air — making an artificial volcano as one Nobel laureate has suggested — could have grave side effects and would not completely solve all the problems from soaring greenhouse gas emissions.

So such actions could not be taken lightly, he said.

Still, "we might get desperate enough to want to use it," he added.

Another geoengineering option he mentioned was the use of so-called artificial trees to suck carbon dioxide — the chief human-caused greenhouse gas — out of the air and store it.

At first that seemed prohibitively expensive, but a re-examination of the approach shows it might be less costly, he said.

I'm Tired......"unknown"

......and added to, in order to make it more personal. If you re-use it, make it personal for you too. This is the sort of Rant that could well be a Conservative Patriot's Manifesto. Keep it going.......Preset to post at 1203hrs

I’ll be 56 soon. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce,I’ve worked, hard, since I was 16. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven’t called in sick in seven or eight years. I make quite a good salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there’s no retirement in sight, and I’m tired. Very tired.

I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth around” to people who don’t have my work ethic. I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy or stupid to earn it.

I’m tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to “keep people in their homes.” Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I’m willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the leftwing Congresscritters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them—with their own money.

I’m tired of being told how bad America is by leftwing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the religious freedom and women’s rights of Saudi Arabia , the economy of Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press of China , the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for Gay people of Iran , and the freedom of speech of Venezuela . Won’t multiculturalism be beautiful?

I’m tired of being told that Islam is a “Religion of Peace,” when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family “honor;” of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren’t “believers;” of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for “adultery;” of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur’an and Shari’a law tells them to.

I believe “a man should be judged by the content of his character, not by the color of his skin.” I’m tired of being told that “race doesn’t matter” in the post-racial world of President Obama, when it’s all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of US Senators from Illinois. I think it’s very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation.. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less in an all-knowing, all controlling, government.

I’m tired of being told that out of “tolerance for other cultures” we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America , while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance. I’m tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore’s, andif you’re greener than Gore, you’re green enough.

I’m tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don’t know if Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I’m tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.

I’m tired of illegal aliens being called “undocumented workers,” especially the ones who aren’t working, but are living on welfare or crime. What’s next? Calling drug dealers, “Undocumented Pharmacists”? And, no, I’m not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic and it’s been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion. I’m willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person who can speak English, doesn’t have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military. Those are the citizens we need.

I’m tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of our Military themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves.

Do bad things happen in war? You bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave? Sure. Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years—and still are? Not even close. So here’s the deal. I’ll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian..

Then we’ll compare notes. British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear.

I’m tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers—bums are bi-partisan. And I’m tired of people telling me we need bi-partisanship. I live in Kalifornia , where the “Kalifornia Combine” of Democrats and Republicans has worked together harmoniously to loot the public for years. I'm tired of hearing politicians lie, and screw up and deny that they are culpable for anything at all.....

And I notice that the tax cheats in Obama’s cabinet are, sometimes, bi-partisan as well.

I’m tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.

Speaking of poor, I’m tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn’t have that in 1970, but we didn’t know we were “poor.” The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing.

I’m real tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions. I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems.

Yes, I’m damn tired. But I’m also glad to be 56. Because, mostly, I’m not going to get to see the world these people are making. I’m just sorry for my granddaughter.

Take a stand. Be a true American, espouse the tenets of our Founding Fathers. All is not lost, if we get control of the issues.

Pass this along, make it your own, and let me know if you have the original autor's address. I'd like him or her to knowwhat I'm attempting here.

Are you tired? Take a nap. Then pick up the Standard and advance!

H/T to aA's Geezer Uncle...he sent it to me!

An "Uber Owie".........

He didn't mean to......he really didn't, I can see his own hurt in his eyes.....

But.....sometimes, as I've said to my Cubs time after time, horseplay leads to someone getting hurt.

Well, this time it was ol' Wollf himself....not only being involved playing with the horses, but being the one on the receiving end of the "getting hurt".

The Cubs were rough housing, I joined in, Lil'Wolfie let out a screech, Uber thought someone was getting hurt, he grabbed my arm with his only appendage....his mouth, I jerked back instead of just holding still, and the result was this.......

Yummy, huh? Well, M'Lady Dragn became Super Medic Dragn First class, poured Hydrogen Peroxide and friggin' disinfectant on the wounds.....Damm, that hurt like the dickens, applied some antibacterial goop, a clean nonstick dressing and wrapped it all pretty until it's as good as new.........

Except it is a bit sore this morning.......

And you can be sure that I'll be watching it fairly closely, what with one of my Blog Buddies, Miss Stepps having just had surgery for a cat bite.....

Am I mad at Uber? Nah.....he was just protecting, and had I not jerked my arm, this could have been avoided.....

Sometimes ol' Wollf is not so smart.
Have a great Friday,
Wollf

It pays to know Pennsylvania Dutch!........

An Amish farmer walking through his field
notices a man drinking from his pond, with
his hand.

The Amish man shouts:

"Trinken Sie nicht das Wasser, die Kuhe und die Schweine haben
in ihm geschissen!"

.......which means: "Don't drink the water. The cows and the pigs have crapped in it!"

The man shouts back:

"I am a Muslim. I don't understand, nor do I care to understand your gibberish. Speak English, You Infidel!"

The Amish man shouts back in English:

"I am very sorry.........Use both hands, you'll get more!"

Ahh, a clash of cultures.....don't you just love it?

A.D.D. Pondering with Pictures........

I see everything, and am distracted by most of it........

Ever wonder what might be Zorro's worst impetuous moment?....*Oops*

I wondered to myself how it was, that the ball seemed to be getting Bigger, and Bigger and Bigger....

And then it hit me........


Remember a few months ago the hoopla about "Barbie" turning Sixty? I'm not even sure where I found this, but.......and realize, all those "Young" Barbies are just clones......We've found the Original, first made Barbie, and this is her current photo.....

Still holding up fairly well, I dare say.....


Then, you all know my Kitteh Ransom.....well what if, unbeknownst to Dragn and I.....he was actually super powered?

Ok, dumm....but with a cuteness factor of Nine, easily.....


And finally, the real reason why I haven't visited my dear friends up in Alaska. To heck with the Volcano thing, that I can deal with.

But This?

I'm afraid my Dignity would be shattered beyond repair.
