If Sterling had made the exact same comment about gays, would the NBA have even blinked? Would the fans have even noticed? Would obama and Biden have commented? Or cared? I don’t think so.
The NBA is a hotbed of homophobia and with only 1 openly gay player, I guess fag bashing is just fine, but in a sport that is dominated by black players, racism is vilified at the loudest volume.
Both prejudices suck, but let’s try treating them equal.
All night long and continuing into the morning we have been receiving Robo calls from someplace in Pennsylvania. They say they’re a fax machine in the push two to opt out, but all it does is disconnected call in an hour later you get another call. This kind of shit should be illegal.
Needless to say, I slept like shit! I’m calling the phone company and will try to get the area code blocked from accessing my phone. The numbers that appear on the caller ID are spoofed, so calling them and threatening them with castration won’t work. Googling the numbers shows they are assigned to a company called “Local Access, LLC” out of Philadelphia, PA. I hope the phone company can block them or I’ll have to kill my phones at night and I HATE doing that.
I still have Dad’s old ladder. It’s a 20+ foot aluminum p.o.s. that should probably be replaced as some time with a fiberglass model. I spent some time on that ladder today to replace the faulty fixture at the top of the pole by the gas pumps. I intended to replace both of the lights, but being on the ladder just was a bit wearing on my feet. I’ll finish the job this weekend.
The lights looked the same, until I had the new one on the pole. The quality is definitely better and I was an idiot for going the cheap route the first time.

What a crappy weather weekend. Snow was falling, wind was blowing, weather was cold, and it was just shitty in general. Today we expect more of the same.
Erin is home. We’re always glad to see her home. This time when she returned she was actually wearing pretty nice looking clothes. See the picture below or on Facebook if you’re on either one.
Tori left AT&T and is now a Verizon customer. I’m sure if we told MaryLou this she will have a stroke. She was after all, an AT&T employee for life. I’ll be telling her this tomorrow.
We went and looked at the phones that Tori got, the Galaxy S5, and we decided we’re sticking with the iPhones. I like the iPhones, I know how to use them, and they fit properly in my pocket. All that shit is important to me. Tori is just a traitor to MaryLou. Yeah I know that’s going to break her heart when she reads this. I can’t wait to see what Apple comes out with an October.
Otherwise we’ve had a pretty boring Sunday. Have a great week everybody.
Nina and I went to the meet & greet at the HD dealership yesterday morning. We were supposed to meet the new owners, but they were swamped. I took the video below while wandering about. The vid is only 62 seconds, so watch it.
It was a nice hour and a half. Dennis was there too.
