Headache

Posted 03-28-2008 at 07:19 AM by Bree
I woke up today with a headache. Stupid throbbing is really annoying. Why I ask myself do I have to start my Friday... the Gateway to the Weekend... with a headache?

So I get down to my office and look out the window and everything is white. The trees are white. The evergreens are white. There are several inches of fresh snow that fell last night. It's March 28th and this month is supposed to go out like a lamb! What's up with that?

Now I have to shovel snow, forego...

Assault Weapon

Posted 02-29-2008 at 06:07 PM by Bree
The idea strikes me that the real assault weapon is the attempt of the NY Legislature to prevent me from having my AR-15 Varminter. I am not assaulting anyone with my gun. I am using it to poke holes in targets that are far away. It challenges me. It is good wholesome fun.

Their Bills to 86 "assault weapons" end up making me feel like a second class citizen... some kind of bad person because I have a gun that can shoot bullets as fast as I can pull the trigger as if that...

One of my favorite quotes is from Spinoza's Ethics. I will post the quote and then its context.

Quote:
All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.
Here is the entire context. These are the final words of the book.

Quote:

Politics

Posted 02-29-2008 at 05:44 PM by Bree
About 6 weeks ago, I stopped watching any and all political television shows. I used to watch several of them every day. I was intensely interested in it.

I became very annoyed with my media favorites switching from reporting the news to trying to create the news. We don't have a good batch of candidates in either party and the more corrupt the process becomes the less I like it. So I simply shut it off.

I discovered some very nice episodes of Star Trek Voyager that I...

Snow

Posted 02-29-2008 at 05:39 PM by Bree
I got the snow muncher out yesterday and had to cut through 5". Did our house and the two neighbors' houses on either side. Well we are getting 2" right now, 2" tonight and 2" tomorrow.

This is just getting a little bit ridiculous! I have a motorcycle that wants to be ridden! I have a new AR that wants to be taken to the 300 yard outdoor range and shot. This may work for skiers and snowboarders but it is not working for me!

I want it to STOP right...
