The sky is falling...


As anyone who doesn't live in a Himalayan Cave knows, the economy is circling the drain. Everyone is blaming everyone else for the problems. I can hear Oliver Hardy now, "Well, another fine mess you got us into Stanley!"

The collapse of our society could be a real consequence, no longer a mad idea relegated to the sci-fi movies.

If I have to spend all my time poking through a smoking pile of garbage with a stick while wearing animal skins, that's gonna cut into my 'searching for pie' time. Matter of fact, there could come a time when pie no longer exists. This is bad.

I guess when it comes down to it, there will probably be only 2 choices: live in a walled village with a bunch of unarmed peaceniks, dressed in robes and sandals, or...join a Mad Max type biker gang! I think if there's any chance of getting pie, the biker gang will be more likely to find it.

Guess I better get to working on my leather, fur and spiked collar!

The birthday boy shoutout

Happy birthday to my foster father, Henry Hale. He's passed on now but was a great influence on me while growing up. It was pretty amazing that we shared the same birth day.

And here's to Bob Marley. We were born on the same day, same year. Cool runnings man.

Some others today: Ronald Reagan ( the old guy on Tales from Death Valley), Eva Braun, Rip Torn, Francois Truffaut, Tom Brokaw, Fabian and Rick Astley (Of Rickroll fame.)

Happy birthday, all y'all.

The birthday boy...

It's absolutely astounding. I've made it to 64.

I still think like a 15 year old, but when I go to leap out of my seat, I find it's much like pulling myself up a steep mountain face accompanied by much moaning and groaning. Getting old ain't pretty.

Aside from the aches and pains, life ain't half-bad. I don't have to go to work, I get to do what ever the hell I want, I can eat pretty much anything and I can still ride my motorcycle.
Plus I live in a beautiful area and have 2 good dogs. Can't complain.

Think I better go shower up and get dressed. Susan is getting a haircut and will be back soon. We're going out to breakfast which is one of my favorite indulgences. Waffles! Syrup! Yum...
