My Buddy


This is a special picture for me. I named him/her Evinrude, and he/she was a very special dragonfly during my time in the swamps of Louisiana. For several evenings, I would take a break and step outside my trailer to collect my thoughts after a long day of doing hurricane claims. I couldn't help but notice that a dragonfly would seem to come out of nowhere and hover near me. It would then land on my knee or somewhere close, and even allow me to PET it. VERY strange, but it happened. I have always said that if reincarnation was real, I would like to come back as a dragonfly, because they can can fly and make love at the same time. Seems pretty cool to me. If you notice our home decor, you may see "of what I speak".Anyway, during a very stressful time of my life, I had this dragonfly making an appearance nearly every evening for a while. Was pretty cosmic. I'm sure you had to be there to appreciate it, but it was very real at the time. Whatever, it's a good memory on this cold night in Colorado....

Maybe it was an old friend, just saying "Hi" and letting you know everything would be alright!
I had a big Grouper do that to me on a dive trip once. It was a night dive and he kept laying in my lap while we were sitting on the ocean floor playing with an Octopus.

Have never done a night dive. Sounds cool, but kinda scary. Will have to dive next May in Mexico. Would like to think "old friends" could do stuff like that...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
