Pictures I Like

This is my cat and her gerbil.




This is the black widow from the pool I told you about.

Atrocious

You know how sometimes you hear people say (maybe in a movie, if not in real life) how they aren't going to have kids, just because they can't bring kids into a cruel world like this? Generally I don't really relate to that sentiment, because despite all the craziness of it, I think it's a pretty wonderful place. But a couple days ago I heard something that made me think not only should I not have kids, but I should probably just walk off the planet and save the world from one less terrible human. I was listening to the radio, and they were interviewing a man who runs a soup kitchen for the homeless here in town. Sounds good right?? Until you hear how his soup kitchen is funded. For $5 people can come see the homeless people that use the soup kitchen. And, oh boy, the $5 pays for more than just a viewing. That $5 will allow a patron to throw a urine-filled water balloon at the homeless people. The man said that the lines for this service are always long and the homeless people "love it. And, besides, if you've worked with the homeless at all, you know that they are always peeing on themselves anyway."
1) I cannot believe that anyone came up with this plan to begin with.
2) I cannot believe that there are lines of people to participate.
I realize that the homeless people are getting a meal out of it. I realize that the owner of the operation claims that they like it. BUT-I really thought or hoped that there were very few sane people who would consider this reasonable behavior. Aren't we supposed to, within our means, protect those who cannot protect themselves? Maybe I'm way off base though.

Van De Haar

There is a puffy black cat who lives in my apartment complex somewhere. I think his name is Van De Haar. Or something like it. Sometimes the owner walks around yelling for him, so that is why I think his name is Van De Haar. Van De Haar is a great cat because he patrols the pool area for cockroaches. Not only is it entertaining to watch Van De Haar stalking his prey in the shadows of the palm trees and bushes while floating around in the pool, but it is also nice to have less cockroaches.

Not Cool

Someone stole the radio antenna on my car! It isn't that big of a deal because the radio still seems to be coming in fine, maybe with a little extra static, but seriously. What jerks! I feel like if I buy a new one, it will just get stolen again. I think I'll leave it alone for now. Maybe I can buy one on eBay.
I remembered something else that was stolen recently. While on a trip to Colorado, P&AF and I went to the pool. It was raining out a little bit, so we put our shirts, towels, and room keys on a counter in this little cabana area. While we were there, another couple came down to the pool area. There were two hot tubs, and they got in the other one. They also left before us. We then went to leave, and all our stuff was gone. We found our shirts in the dirty towel bin--yuck! And our room keys were gone. We were thieved at at the pool!!!!

At a wedding this past weekend, I was told this is the best pick-up line ever.

"Wanna go halves on a bastard?"
