Anybody who has read anything I’ve written about  PETA in the past knows that I don’t like them or trust them.  They are a dirty organization with truly crazy and mentally deranged ideas.  If you are a PETA member and have any operating brain cells left, it’s time to get out and understand that they do evil upon both animals and humans.

Penn & Teller take on PETA in one of their episodes. (NOT WORK FRIENDLY).

I don’t agree with Penn & Teller on lots of subjects.  Nor do I like their choice of delivery techniques; but they are telling the truth about PETA.  Actually, they missed some more things about PETA which I have mentioned before.  Things like PETA’s almost complete lack of support for humane shelters while giving money to terrorists.  Yes, Animal Rights TERRORISTS.

The video is here.

Thinking about taking the day and going out on the motorcycle.  CaptKenny from over on the Intruder Alert message board is in Washington, so we might meet up today for a ride through some back roads around Western PA and the Northern Panhandle. The others I invited haven’t answered, so I don’t figure they are wanting to go.

 Later today is a birthday party for my nephew’s step-daughter.

Invisibility Cloak

Saw an internet link to a man named Stanley Myer, who supposedly perfected a way to make hydrogen on demand from water.  Apparently, he was a fake, but this company is not.

Iris DeMent and Emmylou Harris.  Two of my favorite artists on “Our Town” from the album Infamous Angel.  This is the song that closed the series “Northern Exposure“.

This version is from Transatlantic Sessions DVD. It is EXCELLENT!

I’ve been feeling isolated and apart of late.

I got sick again.  I’m getting fed up with this.  This time, it felt like a cold, except that I had bad chills, sweating, upset stomach, and my heart pounding and racing the other night for most of the night.  I started getting better after that night.

I went to the wildflower reserve at nearby Racoon State Park last Saturday.  I got some nice photos.  It was a nice day for the walk.  I needed it, given the turmoil in the extended family of late.  As I was walking along the creek, I noticed how clear the water was and how you could see lots of minnow sized fish.  I made a comment that I didn’t remember ever seeing large fish in the creek before.  Not 30 seconds later, a big bass went swimming down the creek with the flow of the water.  A few seconds later, 3 or 4 more big ones went down.  It was odd timing.  I looked up the creek and noticed two Canada Geese swimming upstream.  While I was looking, two whitetail deer came running in my general direction, headed for the creek.  I took a picture just as one was running through the creek ahead of the geese.

Some time ago, I think I mentioned a woman that I was interested in getting to know.  I had talked to her a few times since then.  On Valentines Day, she was upset because the boyfriend of a couple of months hadn’t done anything for her for Valentines Day and she said something like, “He won’t be my boyfriend anymore if he doesn’t at least acknowledge the day.”  A couple of days later, I found out he hadn’t done anything for her. I gave her a small token of friendship so that she would have at least received something for the day and she remarked, “I got more for Valentine’s Day from other people than from my own boyfriend.”   A few days ago, I was back at the business and she wasn’t there.  She had, however, called into the business while I was there to talk about some business matters with the other employees.  During the conversation, the boss commented, “Oh, she’s just in love, that’s all that’s wrong.”

Am I completely clueless?  I mean…. I see it happen all the time.  I watch women pick these guys.  But, I just don’t understand it.  Do they really think that things will change and the guy will suddenly care about how they feel after the guy has already demonstrated that he doesn’t?

…. too

Study results begin to explain ‘love at first sight’

I almost got killed today.  I had to run a few small errands and since it was nice, I decided to take the motorcycle.  I was coming back on King’s Creek Road — a winding two-lane road — so that I could take a cross road and stay away from the current detour on the main road through the county.  I was coming around a blind turn, when all of a sudden a red cavalier came out of nowhere at a very high rate of speed…. in my lane.  He was using half of **my** lane.  I had no time to react and I don’t know how we missed each other. His rear fender just missed my left side by about an inch.  He slid to a near stop with squealing tires and then took off at a high rate of speed.  He didn’t even stop or come back to see if I was laying dead in a ditch.  I finally got stopped and was so shaken that I could barely breath.  In all of my years of driving, with all the close calls I’ve had,  I have never had this much reaction.  My chest actually hurt afterward and I was shaking uncontrollably. 

Then, my sense of justice and anger kicked in. I was still sitting stopped in the road, so I turned around and went after him.  He was running at such a high speed, it took me a few minutes to catch him at my own high rate of speed.  When I finally caught up to him, he suddenly started driving normally and when we got to a stoplight, I pulled into a parking lot and called the police. I wanted to drag him out of the car and hold him for the police.The only problem is that I couldn’t stay with him **and** make the call because of the noise and needing to drive.  After the call, I tried to find him again so I could call the police back when he stopped, but I have a suspicion he went to hide because I couldn’t find him anywhere.

I thought I was done and leaving this earth in a lot of pain.  It took me a long time to stop shaking and hurting. Stupid, wreckless cagers!
