It sure does not take long for the mental serenity and calm of a wilderness vacation to get crapped all over by the tidal wave of the b.s. that makes you want to go there in the first place.  I sit at my desk in front of a keyboard and 2 monitors.  I have 2 cell phones.  Never too far out of touch, self-important guy that I am.  Like most douchebags, I have my cell when I play golf....just in case there is some problem so complex that only I can solve it....ha ha.  The beauty of the wilderness is all of those devices are just dead weight. They do you no good in the wild.  Waterproof matches, birch bark, bug spray - those are what is critical to your day.  But that was last week.  My life is now more technical and my actions dictated by those who pay me to be here.  such is life.  but when I win the lottery, I will move north for an extended period, and outfit the camp with a satellite hookup so as to not deny anyone these pearls of wisdom.

Hey - big news...the price of a barrel of oil is down to $82 bucks...what's that you say??? that you are expecting a comparable drop in the price of gas?????  silly, silly...read or watch the news stories justifying why the drop in the price of oil takes awhile to make it to the pump...but, what about the 20 cent increase the day I was shopping for gas 2 weeks ago????  well, remember - it will take more ass rapin' of us by the oil companies to achieve their next record quarterly income.  so bend over and smile.

I heard our jug eared failure of a president say that Americans prefer tax increases to fix the deficit problem.  sure - do you think the increased taxes will be levied on anyone other than the middle class....ass rapin'. 

oh, and Michelle Obama is in Washington state visiting her brother...flying on our dime, and traveling in an 11 car motorcade....she be eatin her peas though.

have a good one.  beautiful weather, huh?

Will winter never end?  This weather sucks - can't do anything outside.  and, looking at the pics I post, you know I love to be outside. so, Gov. Fudd   Quinn has come up with yet another bit of geniusness....giving a tax break to families with kids.  http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/pat-quinn-taxes-state-illinois-speech-families-20120128 at a time with a bottomless pit of a budget deficit, and handing out tax breaks to every corporation threatening to leave Illinois, we are cutting more taxes to a special group...now, just who do you suppose will be asked to make up the difference?  and, of course, when the TEMPORARY income tax increase expires, what then. How ya coming on fixing the pension mess, Einstein??? Gov. Quinn:  please tell us your IQ.  If the question confuses you , please make a confused face and answer with your fingers. Does anyone miss the obligatory outdoors pic?

finally Friday. due to the overwhelming success of my Ghost Moose story (in my own mind), here is a parable entitled: THE WOLVES In a nice town where wolves were not indigenous, a wolf showed up...then another wolf....then many wolves.  The townspeople asked the government to help them get rid of the wolves...the government said "no - we will set out food for the wolves, and make them places to live".  the townspeople said "but we don't want wolves around here.  they take up space that we townspeople built, and we cannot go there because it is unsafe due to the wolves.  the wolves have gotten into our schools, and our kids cannot learn at the right pace because the teachers are too busy dealing with problems caused by the wolves.  we do not want wolves around, so please stop feeding them and making places for them to live."  The government said no - wolves are ok, and we even want them to vote in your elections.  Get used to the wolves, they ain't goin

Not much left in 2011...and each day we are a bit closer to spring... The toilet that is Illinois will be enacting over 200 new laws at the start of 2012. http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/new-year-comes-with-more-than-200-new-illinois-laws-2012-20111228 In these laws, I cannot find: - a law limiting pension abuse, and illegal enrichment - a law limiting the public's exposure to pension debt - a law prohibiting insider deals from  politicians - a law prohibiting municipalities from selling assets that have been paid for by citizens - a law prohibiting illigal aliens from parasitically consuming resources paid for by legal residents the list could go on forever.  these 200 new laws are largely to keep the middle class in line so the rich can continue to be richer. and if you throw out your compter, prepare to be fined. Illinois - what a shithole.
