Do not wash my hotdog. Nobody knows the difference between a polish sausage and a hotdog except for texture and I cast a wary eye on anyone who says they can tell.

It's strange to me that down here, hot dogs are a whole culture unto themselves, but costco doesn't even have a food court.  They still do the roasted chickens though, and the gringos still fight over them, but down the street, for $2 less you can get a whole bird properly marinated and cooked over charcoal, and they will hand you a bag with about two pounds of kick ass salsa, onions, cilantro and a stack of fresh corn tortillas. 

I still haven't managed the courage to try a pizza topped with hot dog slices, but they are here. 


Pepperoni you're okay with though ;-)

below makes me think...we should have neuroscience as part of mandatory high school curriculum. 
how much would understanding a bit about the how the brain works help avoid unnecessary suffering...or at least help understand that suffering, which could lead to recovery. 
that and budgeting.

I have historically voted in 3 to 5 minutes.  A lot of people in our town, including my spouse, were on the "vote early" bandwagon.  I assumed, since everyone else was voting early and waiting in lines, I'll go on election day.  

I won't bore you with all of the "improvements", but it took me an hour and 50 minutes to vote.

Yes, please bring on all the evidence. You've been following it daily now for 4 years, you must have amassed a great pile that eluded all of the highly paid lawyers and observers and people that were in control of the government when it happened. 

Show me on the doll where the liberals hurt you. I've got a pretty pony band-aid we can put on it to make you feel better until your guy can get back behind the wheel. 



This has cropped up in my thinking a few times last night and this morning.....I know I can be very abrasive.
When I was in the corporate world it was a constant refrain of those around me....fighting is basically all I know.
It's how I have survived.

I apologise, mate...unreservedly.....I know I can be an abrasive angry prick sometimes, often when there is no need for it.

So, in the interest of...better relations... in this mad, mad world...I apologise.

To all of you.
I know the bulk of you are upset and bewildered and probably hurting.
There is no need for me to keep on stabbing away.
I need neither approval nor to be right, and neither do any of you.

So....I am sorry, mates.
Peace to all.

Yeah, yeah. And soon enough your jackbooted replacement will also be thrown on the heap. Much like our vacillations here. The one in power will continue to claim all the good and disavow all the bad. And the rich will get richer and the world will go around.
