Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

So many times when the city seems to be without a friendly face
A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near

If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind, just hard to find
One look at you and I know that I could learn to live
Without the rest, I found the best

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Deer of Higher Learning

WNMU has apparently gotten some unofficial mascots. A herd of deer were outside the PD building as I was leaving my class this evening. It was quite a surprise! At least with them hanging out on campus I won't be hitting them on the highway.

One Love

One Love! One Heart!

Let's get together and feel all right.

Hear the children cryin' (One Love!);

Hear the children cryin' (One Heart!),

Sayin': give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;

Sayin': let's get together and feel all right.

....

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love!);

There is one question I'd really love to ask (One Heart!):

Is there a place for the hopeless sinner,

Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

One Love! What about the one heart? One Heart!

What about - ? Let's get together and feel all right!

....

As it was in the beginning (One Love!);

So shall it be in the end (One Heart!),

All right!

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;

Let's get together and feel all right.

....

One more thing!

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (One Love!),

So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One Song!).

Have pity on those whose chances grows t'inner;

There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.

Sayin': One Love!

What about the One Heart? (One Heart!)

What about the - ? Let's get together and feel all right.

....

I'm pleadin' to mankind! (One Love!);

Oh, Lord!

(One Heart) Wo-ooh!

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;

Let's get together and feel all right.

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;

Let's get together and feel all right.

....

More and more I am liking Bob Marley.

SCUMBAG

On March 10, 1977 , Roman Polanski, then aged 44, raped 13-year-old Samantha Gailey. When it looked like he might actually have to do time in prison for raping a child, Polanski fled to London on February 1, 1978.

On September 26, 2009, Polanski was arrested by Swiss police at Zürich Airport while trying to enter Switzerland, in relation to his outstanding 1978 U.S. arrest warrant. He is trying to get released so that he won't have to return to the United States to face prosecution for his crime.

A number of celebrities, by means of a public manifesto, whose concluding statements were "Roman Polanski is a French citizen, an artist of international reputation, now threatened to be extradited. This extradition, if brought into effect, would carry a heavy load of consequences as well as deprive the film-maker of his freedom". The signatories concluded: "we demand the immediate release of Roman Polanski."

Roman Polanski is a child molester and justice is about to come down on him. He has made a pretty good life for himself, but hopefully that is about change. Some of Hollywood is backing this dirtbag, and maybe we should redefine why they are celebrities. It is time for decent people to stand up to the slime that permeates society, and hides from prosecution because they are rich or have a name. I am reminded of a tune that was popular a couple of years ago.

"Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see...

...We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
We've got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets
Its time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
Send em all to their maker and he'll settle em down
You can bet he'll set em down."
Beer for my Horses, Toby Keith, 2003

In my humble opinion this is the type of justice we need to give out to such scum. A tall tree and a short drop at the end of a rope. If the judge releases him on bail, I will consider him a accessory to the crime after the fact. Hollywood... GO TO HELL! Your big name means nothing to me. You are sewer rats that got lucky, and if I had my way you would be back in that sewer that you came from. I don't care what a few actors feel about one of their own. He needs to pay for his crime, and if they are so soft on child molestation maybe they need to be taken down a notch or two themselves. I'm not talking about violence, but they should be outcasts, and their name should be connected with their views on sex with children. Jane Fonda knows that kind of pain from her stupidity, and although she has done well for herself, she knows she screwed up.

It's time we as a people stood up for decency, and quit turning a blind eye. WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN! We need to put these people away, and make an example out of each and every one of them. We need to make their pain so bad, that sex with a child will turn their stomach (as it should). If we turn a blind eye, then we are just as bad as he is. We as a society need to grow a spine, and stop this from happening everywhere, to any child. If we don't, then we should fall like dry leaves.

POOR BUCK!!!

Buck has been confined to the kitchen while we are at work, as long as our baby gates hold up. The kitchen is covered with linoleum from the 70's. Vinyl covered that doesn't absorb anything that isn't on there for days. THAT is essential for a new puppy.

Poor Buck, he does not like being in the confines of the kitchen... However, if you look at the 1970's pattern on our carpet, you will notice that it is design of a variety of brown splotches on tan. I call that pattern, puppy poo camouflage. Not something you want in your house in the early days of house breaking. It requires a sharp eye, and light stepping. At least soldiers have a mine detector... they don't make things like that for puppy owners. Puppies, LIKE BUCK, like to leave little IED's (improvised excreted device) in places where you least expect it. We are very vigilant and keep a sharp eye on him when he roams the house. When the signs pop up we distract him long enough to get him out side, but he is a little sneak sometimes. I'll be glad when we can trust him like we do Red.

When You Spend Over a Billion on a Stadium...

You should be able to have a little privacy in your private box during Cowboy Stadium's inaugural game. I mean it was his money right?

Hey man don't point that at me.

OMG! Jerry...
Ok, I don't want to know...

Buck Visits Red

If looks could kill...

Red is unsure of Buck, and is staring him down.

Buck does not know this.

A wiener dog standoff.

Buck pokes his head up to say hi.

Awwww.

The whole idea was for Buck to get acquainted with Red. I only borrowed Buck for a few hours, but the whole time Red was TICKED off. He wouldn't have anything to do with Buck, and avoided him at all costs. I never thought Red would be a deadbeat dad.
