Electrolux, Dyson Claim To Suck!<\/b><\/p>\n

I took a look at the logs and someone here in San Diego Hoovered up the last twelve months of the blog in one sitting. Wow! That’s a commitment to crap if I’ve ever seen it. Either that, or somebody doing a little, um, research. I suppose that’s to be expected when you lay your life out on the Innernut, but it can be a little off-putting if you don’t really know who’s doing the Hoovering.<\/p>\n

In a puppy update, he’s fully recovered from the drugs and back to full-bark mode. Now he wonders why we’re not going for a run at the island right now. The answer, that he’ll likely rip out his stitches, even if understood wouldn’t be appreciated. To prove the point, they’re both staring at me, looking very sad as well. But hey! That should sell the prospect of adopting a dog to the browsers at the county fair tomorrow, eh?<\/p>\n

On 60 Minutes, they showed what Ray Charles used to drink from the silver cup he’d keep in his dressing room and on stage. Coffee, sugar, and gin. Perpetually filled. When I heard that the cause of this great performer’s demise was liver failure, well, it didn’t take too much deduction.<\/p>\n

In this 24 hour media-centric world I found myself wishing that Brother Ray hadn’t passed while we’re mourning Reagan. While the eulogies for the 40th president have at times been touching, they’ve mostly glossed over the truly bad things that his administration set into motion that affect us now. Training Crazy Sammy bin Laden? Yep. Arming Saddam? Yeah, that too. Fomenting civil wars in Central America? You bet! Ignoring the AIDS crisis? You can check that one off your list too.<\/p>\n

I’d much prefer hearing a solid week of Ray Charles<\/a> from every media outlet you turn to, thanks.<\/p>\n

Pictures from the fair? Since you asked, of course.<\/p>\n

Your pal,<\/p>\n
