The big bailout OK, now the taxpayers of American will be paying out $700 billion to bail out our so called great financial institutions. I wonder why these Harvard MBA's ran out of money, looks like this is the reason "Last year Goldman paid its employees $20 billion, 44 percent of the firm's revenue. Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein took home $68.5 million, and many otherwise ordinary human beings took home $10 million or more." From http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&refer=columnist_lewis&sid=a6a6nqXGVdZYGee there seems to be plenty of money, it's just all been looted by the CEO's and there crony's. Gah and everyone in congress is going to support this damn thing, makes me want to vomit. | | Monday, June 16th, 2008 | | 4:04 pm |

I hit a horse tonight.
Well driving home from a 13.5 hour shift at my job, I turned around a corner and standing there in the road was a horse. I slammed on my brakes and into it as well, it rolled onto my hood let out a LOUD whinny and trotted off. I sat there for a second and pulled into the nearest driveway. I got out as people were getting out of the house, I told them I had hit their horse, they said no I hit the neighbors horse (I drive by this house a lot and they do have horse's, there's were safe in the back). They called the police and since it was out of the city limits the state and county troops had to come down, they did the accident report, all the while the one I had hit was standing in the yard looking pitifully. It let out a another loud whinny and fell to the ground, but go up again. There was another horse and a donkey running around up and down the highway playing dodge the car for a bit. The troopers got them corralled up and said that people hit horses all the time, I've dodged a lot of deer and cows one time but 1,400 pound horses were new to me. I got the accident report, the people who owned the horses never showed up, might have been out of town, the guy is the tennis coach at the university I work at and the horse is a show-horse and worth big bucks. Sigh it was really pretty calm and I feel worse for hitting it then the damaged hood of my truck (only 20 payments left). Grump, this is how my life is going right now, really strange and now I'm off to bed. | | Saturday, July 23rd, 2005 | | 10:01 am |

The bird on my front porch
Well I live out in the back woods of Mississippi and as such encounter a lot of critters. One of them decided to move in on my front porch. I put out some grass-seed on the bare patches around an old Oak tree and went to get my water sprinkler. When I picked it up out of the 5 gallon bowl I keep my lawn tools in a burst of feathers flew out, going faster than anything I'v seem up close in my life. I look into the bucket and there is a nest in to. It appears a sparrow has moved in, so every time the water needs to be turned on as the handle is next to this bucket the little guy(or girl) takes off. I'v never really gotten a good look at it, when winter comes I'll clean out the bucket and replace it with a box for my tools. It must like all of the sunflower seeds that have been put out lately. | | Sunday, May 15th, 2005 | | 2:05 pm |
Oh I have a Rose-breasted Grosbeak eating out of my bird-feeder as well.
The woodpecker does not play well with others, it likes all of the sunflower seeds to it's self. | | 12:39 pm |
Well once again I valiantly stopped my truck and picked up a turtle and moved it to safety.
Yes my life is quite dull overall. I do have a redheaded woodpecker eating in my bird feeder now. | | Saturday, April 16th, 2005 | | 12:40 pm |
Tax fun and other stuff
Well i had fun doing my taxes. When I first went to do them using Turbo Tax on-line via. the IRS's website the total refund was a whopping $88. Now last year I got back around $1,000 and I'v bought a house since then so my refund should be higher not lower. I went to review my tax form from last year and noticed I used H & R Blocks Tax Cut, I logged off of Turbo Tax and went to H&R's site. About 45 min. later I had a refund of about $1K. Sigh, apparently turbo tax just missed some of my deductions, well at least all of these stupid accounting classes paid off. | | Friday, February 25th, 2005 | | 12:15 pm |
Gen Con
Well I'v ordered my 4 day badge to Gen Con Indy and hopefully secured a room in a hotel 1.5 miles form the convention hall (Orbitz was half the price of any of the official hotels). Yeaa, Aug 18-21 is now officially set for me. | | Saturday, February 5th, 2005 | | 2:33 pm |
My slighty insane life Well on a bit of sad news a friend of a friend finally died of brain cancer. And since I was off of work it was really no problem to drive down to Hattiesbur it was only 300 miles. ( Read more... )No really exciting news but it was one hell of a trip, and it did make everyone feel better one it was all said and done. Even the guy how owned the house was in a good mood by the time all was said and done. | | Saturday, October 30th, 2004 | | 5:11 pm |

Going insane in Tupelo
The Hobby Town store in Tupelo is going out of business, It's a shame but it's also a 50% off sale. I got a Space Marine Battleforce for $50, a Chaos Land Raider for $22.50, a Chaos Predator for $17, two boxes for space wolfs for $15 each, a Priest on Cycle for $7.50 and some more odds and ends. The total was just over $200 all on the old abused credit card, blahg I really need some self control but the bargains were too good to pass up, and the bits I don't need will go up on ebay.
Also I'm rally having fun dodging the deer on the high way right now, must be migration time or something. Two really beautiful does ran out in from of my truck yesterday, nothing would keep them from crossing that road wish I had my camera. | | Saturday, October 2nd, 2004 | | 2:50 pm |

Bad suff here at school
Well I was going to post an update on my boring Gen Con trip, but there was a major fire here at olemiss and I keep having to get the web server rebooted (the traffic keeps crashing it). Three people at least dead and the frat house was still on fire 6 hours later, not a fun day here. | | Monday, August 2nd, 2004 | | 12:05 pm |
Cooking Fun Why I'm scared to eat my own cooking sometimes. ( Read more... ) | | Monday, June 21st, 2004 | | 12:55 pm |
Aircraft on highway
Well I was driving home from Memphis Sat. and on highway 7 and on the other lane a piper cub was parked. Traffic was of course backed up behind it, really a bit surreal. Other than that I had the worst Chinese food and bought two whole magazines. Not much of a day off. Oh I had carried one more tuttle off of the highway early in the week, a fair sized box who refused to get out of his shell. I wounder how many cars had driven over the poor fella to get him to button up like that. | | Saturday, May 29th, 2004 | | 10:59 am |
More Turtles
Well the great turtle migrations seems to be calming down here. I did stop and move three more of the little guys.
Two here with one stop, I pulled over to move a box turtle and saw a rather big one just a little ahead of me. I picked that one up and he really did not like it. Keep trying to claw me, no shyly going into his shell, looked like a snapping turtle. When I set him down he took off and went crashing into the woods. The little box turtle just pulled into his shell when I picked him up.
The other one was on a normally busy highway south of Oxford, when I picked him up he pissed at me, mostly missed me but still annoying. Gotta love anti-predator reflexes.
I also saw a really majestic deer here on campus while driving up to work. She was walking around and eating flowers, just like she owned the place. |
