I know that this heading title is not exactly a news update about me.
Many years ago, I wrote some articles for a website that is no longer around. They closed the site and never paid me the money they owed me. Hey $5 is $5. One of the articles was entitled “My Mind is Wandering Without a Compass”. I decided to create another category for my blog called “The Mind Wanders”. It is going to be about some the observations I notice. It is also another category to put out material from my mini notebook out. The material may not always have a “humorous” angle to it. I am just going to basically go with the material and it will guide me on how it should be written out. In other words, I may have to get out of the way and just go with it. I may add more categories to this blog to help me get some additional focus to my writing.
Here is the first entry in the new category.
It is great that we are now living at a time when there are vast amounts of information available at any moment. The problem is not only is available but it is also right in your face at any moment. 24/7 news cycle of modern life is quite literally becoming a pain in the ass. 24/7 is exactly 10080 minutes. And they need to be filled. With anything. The worse is the weather updates are about every 5-10 minutes. These serve one purpose. To scare the shit out of you. They remind you that you are not in control so just stay right where you are watching TV. And whatever you do. DON’T GO OUTSIDE. It is dangerous. And they have sold plenty of advertising for products you need to combat that danger. Have you noticed that the law firms are now sponsoring as many illnesses as the pharmaceutical companies? But back to weather forecast. Forecast is just a fancy way of saying “Guess”. They cannot most predictions right for the next 48 hours. And I am supposed to believe they are going to be accurate about the future weather in the future. Call me just a bit “Skeptical”.
I am beginning to sound a bit like comedian Lewis Black on the weather.
Global warming is still a major guess of a so called weather report. I am still not convinced but I could be. I am open to discussion. And I want to be some other than Al Gore involved. I just want to say being a “politician” is not synonymous with being an “expert”. Face it. A politician is just a person who knows who to kiss, when to kiss and where. Keep it all a secret and get a nice donation in return.
Maybe man is responsible for global warming. It started when the cave man learned to make fire thousands of years ago. There is another source of global warming that they started too. And we still use it today.
BLANKETS
So if you think you can have a role stopping global warming then get out from under your blankets.
Freezing your ass of maybe the answer to warming temperatures.
Back to the sponsors. The pharmecutical companies have the drugs for your cold. The lawyers will sue on your behave because you were not smart enough to dress for the weather. And nothing will be accomplished but everyone will get their “pay”.
Here is a tribute to only politician who said it right when it comes to dealing with bad weather conditions.
The former mayor of Buffalo, NY the late James D. “Jimmy” Griffin.
It was during the Blizzard of 1985 when the snow was piling up and people were looking for ways to deal with the bad weather. He said, “Go home. Buy a six pack of beer. And watch a good football game.”
