BEYOND THE BUBBLE

Just 3 more days of Spring, then Summer of '08 officially begins!

Hillary Clinton's finally in the background of the presidential campaign. Al Gore jumped right in to fill the media void she left.

The Midwest is suffering the worst flooding in history. Crops are ruined, lives are ruined, the impact will be far & long-reaching. It'd be Katrina all over again, yet somehow, it's not. Did we learn a lesson with Katrina or do poor black people who refuse to evacuate warrant more outrage than corn croppers?

Tim Russert died Friday. For the next 3 days, little to no news was reported on MSNBC as his friends and co-workers reflected on his life and their loss. He'll be buried today after a televised private memorial service.

Lock your doors - thieves are stealing anything that isn't nailed down, including vases from cemetaries. So few things in this world are sacred; fewer every day.

Star Trek's Zulu (the Asian man) is marrying his long-time boyfriend now that they've legalized same-sex marriage in California.

The times, they are a-changin'.

One more thought about Tim Russert. His was a common, silent killer. His internist said, "If there's one number that's a predictor of mortality, it's waist circumference." The numbers of concern are over 40 inches for men and over 35 inches for women.

That's your waist, guys. Not where you wear your pants, clinging for dear life under your "tool shed," but your waist.

Those numbers don't seem all that high. Evidently, it doesn't take much to kill you.

383 cases of salmonella related to tomatoes since April & the CDC still doesn't know why.

Have you heard about the recent "outbreak" of Legionnaires' disease? One lady has died, 2 more in critical condition. Their only link? Eastern Kanawha County.

Backdoor buddies are always gonna deal through the backdoor. This is Clay County, ya know. The front door's always open to friends, the backdoor's reserved for those you don't want the neighbors to see.

did you know that there has never been a study of butterflies and moths in Clay co. we are listed in butterflies and moths of north america as having one known moth. i've had 20/25 varieties on my door already this yr. can't identify all. many more I have seen here in the past. just havn't seen this year.

ROSE said...

ONE known moth?? That's insane! We used to have dozens of Luna moths, but I've only seen 1 (so far) this year.

Those little kamikaze brown ones ... we call those "dead" at our house. Annoying little suckas!

Anonymous said...

Whada ya think Rose, maybe ls is mistaking moths for common house flies,theres alot of them around.

Anonymous said...

some people are born and live in garbage, never see anything but houseflies so!!!!!!! that's all they know to talk about. now a sophistacated person like me can talk about moths, houseflies, and even crabs like yourself if the subject comes up. hahahaha

ROSE said...

I lived in Maryland AND worked at a health department - crabs are definitely something I can talk about.

Seems I have a deer who thinks it's a bird. Every day, I fill my birdfeeders, every morning, the ones with trays are empty. With tell-tale noseprints on the trays. I'm torn between shoo'ing it away so the birds can eat & fattening it up so I can. teeheehee

Anybody know a good computer guy? I've got one that's dying & one that's apparently been zapped by the lightning that's been rearing up from the depths of hell.
