Somebody Deserves A Really Good Beating...

...and beating that person or persons to a pulp would not be something that would make me think they got more than they deserved. Anyone who would do this to a dog is, I think, nothing more than an evil shit who needs to be taught a lesson times ten.

Dickhead...

...usually is a word used to describe an idiot, moron, stupid dunce, ridiculous person who can be rather annoying in his stupidity (and I said "his" because it usually refers to a male). In other words, the guy being called a dickhead is usually a brainless wonder much akin to the head of a real dick that also has no brain.

However, sometimes, there is another definition for that word that is so right you cannot help but wonder if the meaning of the word has to do not with intelligence but appearances and it would not surprise me if this image shows up in the dictionary with that word:

Nope, the term dickhead did not originate because of the shape of his head
but you can bet that the term will stick with him for his lifetime or longer.

I don't know about you, but if there was a photo like that of me on the Internet, I'd be losing weight faster than a goose could shit rotten grass.

No Life Jacket Is Required...

Just Got Home From Work...

...maybe 45 minutes ago or so. That was after an hour long drive, all ten miles of it (almost exactly 10 miles). Add another 10 minutes I spent at a quick stop in my local liquor store and while the drive was as annoying as it is regular (when I work a that location) the result of my pit stop will soothe everything. I picked up a jar of Old Smokey Moonshine for me and the boy (now a young man) and a bottle of Riesling for the wife. Can you imagine though, driving a mere ten fucking miles and it taking you an hour to accomplish it - especially a day at work that sucked like did today for me (just had to deal with too many arsehats today). That's everyday traffic too, during the return rush hour! When I lived in southern CA, I used to drive the 12 miles to work in about 12 - 14 minutes at an easy going pace but that was in the middle of butt fuck nowhere in the Imperial Valley. I would love traffic to be like that for me now but not at the cost of moving to CA, it's worse than NY as far as I am concerned although not by much. Oh to live in a free state.

Anyway, once I got done feeding the critters that needed to be fed (tortoises, turtles, fish, lizards and newts) I grabbed an ale and logged online. One of the first stops was Wirecutter's blog Knuckledraggin My Life Away. Once I got there, I scrolled through his posts, read this one and that, kept scrolling and arrived at one that immediately put me at ease as it washed away even the faintest thought of work and of my commute as I viewed what was there to behold. What can In say, I may be an old married man but I'm not dead and I can still appreciate what was forever lost to me once I got married. Thanks Kenny!

China Has Been Preparing For War...

...in a buildup of its military for years now (at least during the current and previous presidential administrations in the US). All the while, we here in the USA twiddle our thumbs as if nothing is happening and even go so far as to continuously reduce our military preparedness to face such a looming threat. China has not only increased its military forces but has actually gone as far as increasing its territory by building at least one artificial island in a disputed territory and has now placed artillery on that island according to this article. If all this is not reminiscent of Japan and Germany before WWII then nothing is like it. ISIS may be the major threat we face if they acquire nukes but the China is actually the major threat we face in the world today, followed by Russia with ISIS possibly a distant third for the immediate damage they could do to us.

The Border Patrol Of Yesteryear Was Different And I Remember When...

...border patrol agents were highly respected and pretty much only feared by illegal aliens and alien smugglers as well as maybe some drug smugglers. For the most part we were only hated by racists and criminals back then.We proudly did our jobs protecting the United States of America even though by the time I was on the job things were making a sharp left turn toward welcoming illegals into our country instead of preventing them from entering and or deporting them once they had done so. It was a different time and a different world then. It truly saddens me to see that the sentiment the border patrol has been getting in recent years runs more along these lines.
