Posting is difficult currently as I eagerly await the healing of the thump on the head and the ancillary dings and bangs. It's not as bad as it could have been though, as I assure you I have no inclination to vote for any democrats unless it's for extradition or some such.
On that note, I notice that a local group has bought an ad on the local TV implying that congressman Mark Udall (D-Peoples Republic of Boulder) might be an aging hippie and more at home in a VW microbus full of smoke than a proper candidate for the US Senate. For some reason, the Udall folks are howling like kicked dogs. As the pilots note:"If you're catching flack, you're over the target."
For those of you who feel the state is not taking good enough care of everybody, and should be taking better care of possibly even me, a town in Massachusitts has reduced crime and whatnot to the point that the police are being encouraged to confiscate bicycles from kids caught riding them without helmets.
I'm of mixed feelings about this, since in the first place, it's really none of the states damn business. On the other hand, this is a valuable civics lesson to the youth, disabusing them of the notion that the state is in any way their friend. Today your bicycle, tomorrow, everything else you own.
There are Mongol armies of fools out there, behaving like, well, fools, but it's hard, sometimes to point this out on this little soapbox, thinking that after someone makes a complete idiot of him or her self, live on national TV, what can I add. OTOH, I watch little TV, and probably you don't either, and the silliness I find, you may have missed. Pleased to help provide some entertainment.
The bad news this week was that the Large Hadron Collider was run this week, and the earth was not destroyed. This means we all have to continue going to work. Bummer.
