• Watching the news daily, I see trains and trucks battling for dominance at railroad crossings frequently. Trucks never win and you’d think that if they watched the news they’d know that. Public service announcement of the year.
• Tori and Erin are leaving for Chicago and Michigan on Saturday instead of Sunday. I guess this could be a public service announcement too, but of a more limited scope. Oh yeah, Michael is going with them.
• The guy that robbed us has another pre-trial hearing one week from today. I can’t wait until this is over.
• Played poker last night. Curt’s brother was there. I can’t stand playing with someone that dense. Granted we all have to learn to play poker, but this guy has been playing for some time and is still having those sitting next to him help him play. Three people playing one hand. Poker by committee.  I usually enjoy the games, but last night was horrid. Stupid shit.
• Every morning, as I sit and watch the news, I get this feeling of being watched. This morning I finally saw the watchers, my fish. They all gather at the front of the aquarium and stare at me until I get up and feed them. I have to assume that they do this in the evening too.
• Speaking of being watched, Erin says she sees ghosts when she sleeps at our house. Children are considered more susceptible to seeing the paranormal, but they usually grow out of it as their life gets more interesting. One of the ghosts Erin claims to see here is a headless child. Charming. How do you communicate with a headless ghost?
• Finally, the Confederate flag issue is over. The flag is coming down today. What a stupid thing to fight over. We’ve become a nation of whiney little bitches. Where does it say in the constitution that we have to be immune to being offended? Maybe I need to join the fray. Cracker Barrel offends me, I demand it be renamed to Caucasian Barrel.
• I hate all politicians. Left or right, they’re all in bed with each other. Does Bali have politicians?

Peace.
