Global Warming 2010

Fort Worth, TX, just received 12.6" (32cm) in a 24 hour period.

The dogs really enjoyed frolicking in the snow.

We enjoyed paying tribute to our favorite Calvin and Hobbes series:

Hobbes: "Snow Sharks?" Calvin: "That guy's a goner."

On the nature of the blogosphere ...

There are many blogs out there which are like spider webs. You innocently start reading one article, and before you know it, you get caught in their web. (Due to my lack of writing time, my blog is safe.) So beware, readers out there, you might be their next victim ...

Today's Medical Industry

I recently had to have outpatient surgery for a tonsillectomy. This is what I woke up with!

At first, I thought that this was an indictment on our medical community. You know, one of those cases where you go in for a simple tonsillectomy and instead the surgeon made a mistake and performed plastic surgery to turn my "hobbit feet" into beautiful feminine feet.

But, I had to stand corrected since my throat was hurting and all: obviously they had taken away my tonsils. It is then that I realized that in today's economy, private clinics are looking for that edge, which will get them customers. I was not aware of it, but apparently the clinic I went to, was having a special: cut out your tonsils and while you are under anesthesia, you get a free pedicure.

Actually, this is the handy work of Brandi M., my good friend and surgical technician on my case, who thought it would be funny to have her co-worker paint my toes while I was under. I'll get you back, Brandi ... I'm not sure how yet, but I'll get you back!

Karma - doing good deeds to counteract the bad

In this day in time, terrorists are getting a really bad rap. Many see them as monsters, but after all, they feel like they are real people. Some of them also have some spiritual concerns: karma is fast on the heels of some, Allah is watching over the works of others, and some are afraid of what the pope might say.

Bottom line, many have burning consciences and are trying to make things right. You never know when a terrorist will help you carry your groceries to your car or open the door for you. For example, this morning I got up and found the unibomber mowing my grass (see the picture to the right).

All jokes aside ... it took over 5 hrs for Cindy to cut the whole front and back yard. The dogs love the yard, but it's about time that they start learning how to push that mower!
