Wow, I would of thought that with 13 or so remarks that one would say that west nile was brought to this country by that no good Muslim from Kenya. What a morning, first that cigar peace sign dude was all smiles and that warmed the cockles of my heart and now this. Did I just fall in love?

I don't worry about it. I always keep 3 or 4 tractor tires burning in the back yard. Mainly to hide the smell of my lab but it keeps mosquitoes and most living creatures away. Hey Autie, I wafted you a smoke signal last night. Did you get it? Wait, is it mosquitoe or mosquito? I bet Dan Quayle knows.

Mountain climbing is a stupid waste of time. Really, what's the point? Jumping a motorcycle over 15 buses is stupid too, but at least Evel Knievel got to drink a lot, beat people up, and sleep with tons of women.

I see some wine and fondue bar downtown just closed. Wow. What a shock. About 25 years ago, when everything else started going to hell in this town, a bunch of aging hippies started this stupid "Keep Downtown Vibrant" inititative. Now look. A bunch of boutique joints keep opening and closing in 2 months. I miss Dean's Books, across from the courthouse on Mass. A mean old lady worked there and they had this special section of really softcore porn mags. Every time I got near it the old lady would glare at me and say "You 21? The cops are across the street and they WILL arrest you!" Once when I was about 14 I called her on the phone and said my dad was house bound and could I come buy a Hustler for him if he wrote a permission note. She said okay, so I wrote a note, rode down there on my bike, picked up a Hustler, brought it home and, well, you know. I am not making that up, either.
