The Heart Break Kid Returns

The Heart Break Kid, came to visit me today - and yep, he dragged his mom and dad along with as usual. It was good to see the grandson again. In fact it was an outright joy.., he also wore me out trying to keep his grubby little paws off of all kinds of interesting breakables and lets not even discuss the pet toys he wanted to thrust into his slobbery little mouth.

HBK, (Heart Break Kid) tried to impress me with his articulate use of "lullullullullull" and "Bluh Bluh Bluh" as well as his impression of an outboard motor..."ptptptptptpptptpt". Imagine my surprise when they were about to leave as I tried in vain to get him to wave "bye-bye" - actually said.., "Bye Bye". I guess he figured he wasn't about to mess with that worn out waving bye gag, when he could just cut to the chase. Brilliance! Sheer brilliance!

Yeah, it was nice to visit with Daughter and SonInLaw too.., but they just couldn't get the, "lullullullullull" and "Bluh Bluh Bluh" as well as his impression of an outboard motor... "ptptptptptpptptpt" stuff down as well as HBK. Bless their hearts, at least they tried to communicate with me.

[FACTOID: HBK is holding a dog toy in this shot. Though the dog growled his discontent, HBK, held his ground. There was unrest when he plunged the dog apparatus in his kisser before anyone could stop him. HBK has very fast reflexes]

Tornado In My Back Yard

A Tornado hit in our small town tonight, around 6:30 - 7:30pm.., but fortunately it missed us and our power-lines. Apparently it hit just north in the so called down town or near down town area, according to sketchy reports. Some houses damaged, lines down, some trees and a truck over turned with no word if anyone was hurt (from our area).

Elsewhere in other parts of the state people were hurt in car accidents related to the storms with one possible fatality. At present its unclear as to how many tornadoes there were total. As for damages around here, I'll know more in the morning and add to this. The only thing I could see in the brief lightning flashes was some debris and a garbage can blown across the property. Its still raining really hard limiting vision even with a bright flashlight.

Thats all for now.

Guten Tag, Herr M

Meet, Herr-M. Not his real name but a moniker I placed on the lad for the purposes of Internet Anonymity. Mein Brudder in Texas and his frau, had taken in a German Foreign Exchange Student, and made a surprise swing through visit with us a few days before DankeDay (thanks giving? - I'm making this german word up on the fly if you didn't know). They had shown the lad an American Vacation down in Nashville with a trip to Graceland and a few other oddities in route.

I must say, this kid.., young man actually.., a thin-as-a-rail 16 year old, about 6'4" tall is dwarfed (as I understand it) by his Dad. Herr-M, always has a smile, well versed in the English language, something I myself am still struggling with, and very humble. When I say humble I don't mean a wall flower, but someone who's not got a rude bone in his giant body. The boy made me feel like a casting reject from the Wizard of Oz Munchkins as I stood within his proximity - yet held no aura of superiority. I wish all American kids were like this young man. I really do. Respectful!!!

Herr-M, actually did get a taste of an American Vacation it seems as my brother took a wrong turn in his Truckster 5000 and ended up in a VERY wrong side of town (in Nashville) and a kind black man let him know about his mistake just as several thugs encircled the van while brother was in the store asking for directions. Long story made short, they managed to get their Truckster out of there with a scratch every hubcap accounted for. I'm sure this will be an event young Herr-M will tell his grandchildren eons from now.

Thats all I got. Sorry.

*A*L*E*R*T* - "Aliens to invade Earth in 2010"

[UPDATE BELOW] Warning! In the year 2010, aliens are due to land in the Midwest and some other part of these United States! How do I know? Sylvia Browne, said so on the Montel Show [why he gives the woman airtime i have nooo idea]. She says their intentions will be to enlighten mankind and I suspect bring us some Intergalactic Style Pizza...., how else you gunna spread the love without Pizza? Ya cant!

Be sure when I say, aliens and landings, I'm not talking about a crowded Cuban Taxi washing ashore to bring us new technologies like the Cuban Cigar Lighter and Flashlights. No, Sylvia means, extraterrestrials, "Phone Home", E.T.s from outer space. This comes from the woman who foresaw the IRS being shut down in a year or two of her prediction - which I might add never happened. Is it me or does Sylvia Brown look like Mr. Roper in drag? I'm not trying to be cruel here.., its just an observation. I'm certain I'd never be Mr Atlas, so no, I'm not throwing stones. Gravel YES! Rocks, no.

UPDATE: Canadian accuses U.S. Bush Administration of attempting to start an Intergalactic war! Wants Canadian Parliment to establish ExoPolitics to be the first in rolling out the red carpet for extraterrestrials. President Bush replied; "Like my momma used to say, the only good ET is a daid ET. Kill em all and god sort em out"

In unrelated news.., sadly, Pat Morita of Karate Kid fame (Mr. Miyagi & Arnold on Happy Days) has died at the age of 73 from natural causes. I don't buy his death was from natural causes, but I guess its possible. Certainly its not unheard of. So get off my back. My theory is that the same Black Dragon Ninjas that got Bruce Lee and his son, nailed him with the Rubber Hand of death! This is an ancient art that takes years to master - waving a giant flexible rubber hand in such a way it causes the victim to die from laughter.

My Autobiography Ran Out Of Gas

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY

I tried to come up with something by way of a beautiful poetic sentiment, but it's just not flowing through the ol' neural portals. Suffice it to say that I hope you and your families gather in warm embrace. May you all give thanks for your many blessings, and may you receive many blessings to come.

I'm sorry I have been vacant but I haven't been doing well. I'm not dying yet (that I'm aware of anyway). I'm still not up to snuff but wanted to thank you all for your concern and will be posting soon enough and I'll bring my cane and threaten you all for old times sake.

To my friends... "Thank you all for your concern and kind remarks"

To My Enemies (whoever you are) "Fear me - I am not out of the picture just yet!" Muahahahaaa! Muahahahaaa! Muahahahaaa! Muahahahaaa! <<cough-cough-wheeeeeeze-hack-hack-cough>> Ahem.

Don't give up on me folks. I still have a few more things to say. Much Love People, Much Love!
