My brother turned 65 yrs old today...I remember when that age sounded so old...now, not so much.  I will be 60 in August...eek.  But I'd rather see the age continue to get larger than not. 

Back in December, I posted the night of the Survivor finale...and tonight, a new season starts.  Which is good, since the last episode of Oak Island is on next week.  And, no doubt, nothing will have happened on Oak Island again this season.  But, last night they were teasing a new show where one of the brothers from the Oak Island show is talking to treasure hunters that dive in Lake Michigan.  What better expert to consult than a guy that has been digging for 5 years with nothing to show for it.  Of course, I will be watching the new show.   

Supposed to snow tomorrow.  Enough winter already.  Was talking to my golf bud on the drive home from the train...we figure 4 weeks to tee off. 

I think I may get a dog.  My thinking is to go to the animal shelter and ask who has been there the longest...and take that one.  I really don't have room for a big dog, but if I go by the longest in the shelter rule, I have to abide.  Watch it will be a great dane.  But, a dog will liven up the apartment.  Plus, dogs are much easier to live with than humans.  And, I have a spot open on my "dogs playing poker" tat, so I can fill that in. 

Speaking of tats, Dr A, we still have to do that.

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.
