Nothing Going On Here…
But there was a KOMO4 News Helo crash in Seattle @ 0740 (or so) this morning. Feel bad for the two that died, the other that was injured, but the News Weenies have gone bug-fuck nuts trying to comment everything to death. And their “eye witnesses!” I don’t know. Maybe I spent too much time working in the Emergency Medical field to get overly excited/bummed. And since SWMBO would have still been on the ferry at that time I wasn’t worried for her.
Don’t get me wrong; I think we need News. It’s the Speculation, Repetition and Description Of The Obvious that gets to me. What was it the one Reporter said? “We don’t know how much of the victim’s body was burned. 20, 30,40 percent, we just don’t know.” He should have stopped at the end of the first sentence. The rest is just for the “OMG” factor. And how many different ways can they ask the same question?
Didn’t post yesterday cause it was so boring I almost fell asleep on myself! Still too wet but the Dog and I did manage a walk around the property. Picked SWMBO up at the usual time. Went to bed at the usual time. Got to sleep without too much noise from the Renters. Got up at my usual time to start it all over again.
That’s pretty much it. Made a trip to the Post Office to mail off the MCARC Insurance payment. Stopped at Safeway for sugar. Picked up mail on the way home.
Made my usual trip to pick SWMBO up and we’re home safe. Rained a bit on the way back. She had us stop at Safeway also; needed bread & ham and a couple of other thing. I don’t mind stopping though. I get to hold her hand while we walk.

I Hate Reporters!
I’ve never heard a more insensitive, ignorant, talkative bunch of talking heads in my life! You need a stupid question asked? Find a “reporter.” You need someone to be “glad it wasn’t worse, cause it could have been worse?” Find a “reporter.” Need the highly obvious stated? Find a “reporter.”
Yes, I’m watching the News about the tornado in Oklahoma. Yes, I cannot believe some of the questions “reporters” ask survivors. Yes, I cannot believe how serious they are in “reporting” the Obvious. I think it’s stating the obvious that really gets to me. The way they lead the “witness” to get the absolute worst case scenario possible. Yes, we can tell that was a building without you telling us what it used to be. Damn, those look an awful lot like downed power poles even before you pointed them out to us. I just loved the way you described that pile of cars that I was looking at as being piled up that way from the wind of the tornado. I’d have never guessed!
AAAAAAaaarrrrrrggggghhhh! Now the local News is telling us as bad as the Tornado’s are in the Midwest, we COULD suffer even worse from the inevitable Earth Quake that COULD happen here.
I know. I know. News programs are geared to the lowest common mentality of their watchers and I shouldn’t be upset. News programs (reporters) have to sensationalize their small bit of coverage (so you’ll tune in again). They have to remind you that it could have been a lot worse. Dicks.
Now I’m waiting for NObama to break in and tell us how terrible it is and that we will ALL pull together to comfort the survivors and how he hopes they all have Obamacare… (I mean: how can we pay attention to Benghazi, AP phone records or the IRS targeting conservatives with people dying in Oklahoma Tornado’s?)
OTT a pretty normal Monday around here. Nice Wx day for us though. Seems tomorrow it (the Wx) will be worse. Possibility of a bit of wind mixed in with the rain and we COULD have some thunder near the mountains. Prepare! Prepare!
Dang! I’ll bet I missed it cause I had to turn the News off before flinging my tv out the window. I’ll bet “they” (the reporters) asked “What would happen if we had a Tornado here in the Seattle area?”
Maybe I’m just getting old. And cranky.

Cool! Meteor In Russia Today.
I wonder if these folks realize they were targeted 4.5 Billion years ago?
Join the JPL folks to watch the Asteroid Flyby today!

Oh Yeah. Let’s Control Those Guns III
Could America Be Next? NObama is working on it!
Not that any of you will pay attention until it’s way too late.

British papers show no mercy
British papers show no mercy Good for the Brits....wish our U.S. Papers would run these. The British papers are quite different from ours. They know what is going on and are not afraid to say it....................... My favorite |

New York City on Madison Avenue…
This is NYC on Madison Ave
We'd better wake up before it's to late; if it's not already.
Looks like France. I wonder why this isn't on the news!
Scary! Isn't it?
A Christian Nation cannot put up a Christmas scene of the baby Jesus in a public
place, but the Muslims can stop normal traffic every Friday afternoon by worshiping
in the streets. Something is happening in America that is reminiscent of what is
happening in Europe. This is Political Correctness gone crazy!
This is NYC on Madison Ave
This is an accurate picture of every Friday afternoon in several
locations throughout NYC where there are mosques with a large
number of Muslims that cannot fit into the mosque - They fill the
surrounding streets, facing east for a couple of hours between
about 2 & 4 p.m. Besides this one at 42nd St & Madison Ave.,
there is another, even larger group, at 94th St & 3rd Ave., etc.,
Also, I presume, you are aware of the dispute over building
another "high rise" Mosque a few blocks from "ground zero" -
With regard to that one, the "Imam" refuses to disclose where the
$110 million dollars to build it is coming from and there is a lawsuit filed
to force disclosure of that information - November can't come soon enough.
This is in New York City on Madison Avenue, not in
France or the Middle East or Yemen or Kenya.
Is there a message here???? Yes, there is, and they are
claiming America for Allah. If we don't wake up soon, we are going to "politically correct" ourselves right out of our own country!
