Prickle-Prickle, Discord 1st, yC 3169 Happy Birthday Dad, I love you. It's a day late on my site but you got my cards a few days before your birthday so it all evens out in the end. I spoke with Brian and we talked for a long time. We got on the topic of racism and he told me something that our friend Rob Fenelon said recently about the subject. "Adolph Hitler made racism unfashionable." Sigh, if there was no Adolph Hitler I'm sure that people would be less sensitive and try to be white knights (pun intended) for other races. Honestly, the word nigger should bear as much weight as accusing someone of being a Republican. At least Republican is capitalized most of the times. A nightmare woke me out of a sound sleep and raised my hackles. I was looking out my window watching a nighttime storm slowly die down with the rising sun except the wind was not stopping for anything. The sky turned a pale blue with gray shades and with that a small, transparent tentacle of a tornado squirmed down from the clear sky running over homes and other structures with little or no damage. The tornado hit my car, the change in pressure made my car windows blow out and dented up my car more than it already is in waking life. Despair hit me in the gut and I kept mumbling "money pit" over and over again to myself in a resigned whisper. Speaking of my car I'm looking for another garage that will get my door replaced soon rather than waiting for a bunch of shady dickheads to get around to it because they have "busy things" and "other jobs" to do yet can't give the common courtesy of a phone call to say "Hey we got the part. We can get to you in a few weeks." I'm thankful for the nightmare despite it getting me on edge this morning. Post Script Gentle Reader, |
