newscoma might actually recognize this one, as she drew the ears. it’s the result of an amusing game where you draw a line or shape and pass it to your friend to finish. I have several from last night, but this one is my favorite. as you can tell by the fanged rabbit, i’ve been in the “dark happy hour of the soul” so to speak. better now. thanks all

Big Oil (to use the worn out phrase) has got our backs against the wall this time. They could raise the price of gas to $5 and we’d still pay it, cause they know we’d have to in order to go to work, go to the store or visit our out of town families. We’ll gripe of course, but that doesn’t seem to get us anywhere. Public transport is rare here in small town USA most don’t even have cab service. It’s 15 miles to the nearest train station (well unless you care to hop a freight). You could get a ride from the cops, but I don’t think they’d take you where you want to go. A horse might be handy, but where do you put a horse while you are at work? We don’t have hitching posts anymore. We are being asked to trim our oil consumption, but as jobs leave small town america people who live in those small towns have to drive further out to get work. So we wring our hands, whine, gripe and pay up because it just seems so useless to complain.

This was how I felt after wolfing down Wal-Mart chicken mashed taters & gravy and mac n cheese. (I know, 2 starches). It was pretty dang good, now I’m hungry again.
I learned last night that if you want to learn something, ask an enthusiast. They will tell you all you need to know and more than you wanted to hear until your eyes glaze over. Last night I learned about Golf. Walking around whacking a ball with a crooked stick never appealed to me, but this guy had dewy eyed passion for golf. I learned all about the swing, back spin and how to chop out of a rough. I didn’t realize there was that much to it, hitting a little ball with a stick. So, am I ready to take on the course? No…not at this time. I prefer fishing. Want to learn about fishing? Ask me, I’m an enthusiast!

If I’ve been a bit stand offish I apologize. Been in a weird place. Not to worry, things are slowly getting better. Got a hair cut today, makes my head feel 10x lighter, and I can see! Yip-pee! So yeah, I feel better, because I have good friends that have patience and caring. Just like to say thanks, in case I hadn’t already.
