Well the HEAT is ON! With Highs only in the mid to upper 50's, and LOWS down to the mid-30's, who blames me!

I did manage to snare Jan 8th, my 44th B-Day and the Day of the BCS NAtional Championship at Cardinals Stadium off from work. Will be great to watch on Widescreen HDTV how the Stadium looks from my Cardinals Seat on TV!

12.18.6 :

Well my Final HOME AZ. Cardinals Game started bad in more ways than 1. My Cell Phone couldn't get a signal so I missed the Tailgate Party with Friends. Then the Team played like it did in the 1st 1/2 of the Season. Result: Cardinals lose to Denver 37-20. Sad to say, it is going to be 8 months before the next Home Game in Pre-Season!

I think tonight when I get into work I'll see if I can finangle a way to get Jan 8th Off for the BCD College Championship Game at Cardinals Stadium. Would like to see a good Game on TV from my Seat at the Stadium. Besides! Jan 8th is my 44th B-Day! Bringing in a Popcorn Christmas Tin, you know with Butter, Cheese, and Carmel Popcorn tonight for co-workers for Christmas to munch on to butter up my request some....

12.15.6 :

Thank God it's Friday!!!! I'm not sure who is busier, the cashiers at the Malls, or my Dept. at work! Well Sunday is my last AZ. Cardinals Home NFL Game of the Season. It will be August 'till I go back. At least I get the chance to see how the Stadium looks on TV for the college Fiesta Bowl and the BCS Championship Game.

How's your Christmas Shopping ging? I hope to basically start and finish tomorrow! This should be Fun.....

12.13.6 :

Well work has remained at "Extra Busy Level", but I am thinking this will lessen by next week as people are more short on time and need to get Christmas Shopping done, get ready for travel, or for incoming family, etc.

Well for most of you, you never heard the news that in the past few days to a week there has been Major Solar Storms, X-Flares, etc. These are the things that can cause problems here. Remember about 10 yrs ago, when all the Phone Pages didn't work, some ATMS, Power Failure in the Northeast USA and Southeast Canada? Caused by a Solar Flare.

12.11.6 :

Well Friday I did get out of work a little early, not as early as I hoped to get my LA-Z-BOY. Well I will get my LA-Z-BOY, but not until the end of January when the next shipment comes in, what was in Stock was sold before I got there. At least it is promised I will have it before the Super Bowl!

Speaking of Football, my Cardinals have Won 3 out 4, beating the Seattle Seahawks yesterday 27-21. Too bad we started getting our act together too late in the Season.

12.7.6 :

Well tomorrow at this time I hope to be making my final selection of the LA-Z-BOY Recliner I want, a Throne fit for a "HOLY SMOKER". LA-Z-BOY is having a 12 hr SALE tomorrow, Time to BUY!!! My mom and younger Brother have committed $ for it, I pay for the rest since I am getting Top of the Line. It is the 1 thing I want for Christmas and my B-Day (01-08), so my gifts are usually combined. I know what I want, now to find it.

12.6.6 :

Sorry for the long interlude between updates! Busy time of year, and I am also looking at the possibility of Mandatory OT at Work coming soon and lasting for sometime. Let me say it NOW! I AM NOT WORKING SUPER BOWL WEEKEND!!!!

11.30.6 :

Hi Honey! What PLANET are you from??? Woman is suing Kraft because its Guacamole Dip has only 2% Guacamole in it!!! Hmmm. Well when you buy Pancake syrup at the Grocery Store, ie. Maple Syrup it's about the same %. I should know! I grew up in Maple Syrup Country! And I actually have a jug of the REAL STUFF in my 'Fridge! Butter, Ice Cream, Milk, Plain Hot Dogs see how much is "Filler". Want to buy something that lives up to its' name. Limits it to SALT but may be Iodized. And Surgar, and Flour. Anything else will be a lower %, sometimes down to 2% or less.... just FLAVORED!!!!

11.28.6 :

Yes WAR is never a good thing, nor are the causualties we take. But think for a moment.... who kills more Americans? The War in Iraq and Afghanistan, or Illegal Aliens? Since 9-11-01 about 3,100 US Troop Deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq. Estimated American DEATHS here in the HOMELAND caused by Illegal Aliens since 9-11-01...: OVER 45,000!!!! Even if the Troop Deaths are underestimated, and the Illegal Alien caused Deaths are Overestimated, it will not come close to reversing a factor of 15X!!!! But let's just take this general estimate. For Every American Soldier Killed in the WAR ON TERROR, 15 American Civillians are killed by Illegal Aliens!!!

11.22.6 :

11.21.6 :

The Muslims are pissed off again! 6 Imams heading to Phoenix from Minnesota caused a "Disturbance". Apparently there was an IMAM Conference there with BBQ YAK, and dancing girls in Burkas. While waiting on the taxiway, I guess it became "Evening Prayer Time". How they knew which way was MECCA, after the plane made turns, etc. heading to the runway is anybody's guess. Maybe 1 Imam is assigned to carry the Compass that points to True Mecca.... Well all 6 of them stand up at once and start Praying in Arabic. I'm sure there's an "allah" in there and probably an "allah akbar" TOO!!! Now hearing "allah akbar" in the confines of a crowded jetliner would make anyone nervous! I am sure many Muslims have flown before, and during evening prayer time. I bet they did it silently without causing a disturbance. Causing a Disturbance and not following instructions of the Flight Crew are Federal Felonies. These are Imams, supposedly religious leaders and should Lead their Flock by Example..... This is the EXAMPLE?????

11.20.6 :

HEY!!!! My Cardinals WON Yesterday!!! Sure it was against the Detroit Lions in the /nfl equivalent of "The Toilet Bowl", but a Win is a Win! Especially after 8 consequtive Losses. However Head Coach Dennis Green remarks that the losing stretch was like a slump for a baseball team during a season doesn't wash with me. Baseball has 162 Regular Season Games. NFL has 16. So my Cardinals just ended their 80 game losing streak in baseball terms.

11.17.6 :

Well it was another barn burner week at work. Happens this time of year. Trying to build up the Blood Supply before the Thanksgiving - Christmas - New Years Holidays. People are busy, Travelling, Shopping, getting colds, Finals at Colleges, Holiday Office and Home Parties, etc. Thanksgiving Eve (Wed) is normally our busiest night at work for the Year. New Years Eve is #2. People like to donate Blood before the big New Years Eve Party so the Alcohol has a bigger effect.... Go figure! Especially if you are driving!!! Anyway after next week for the most part Work will be a little less hectic than it has been. Good thing too! Keeping up this pace for a month or 2 would burn us out. 1st 3 hrs in HIGH GEAR, 4 hrs in 3rd Gear, last 3 hrs in HIGH GEAR for a 10 hr shift eventually takes it's toll on you.

11.16.6 :

New Even Tougher ANTI-SMOKING LAW PASSED! If this goes nationwide and most are barred from smoking outside, in their car, Public Places, and at HOME I forsee the Democrats being correct. We do not need to fear Terrorists. But add in this LINE.... But Fear the SMOKERS!!!! I have what is called a "Twin Home" technically a Condo. I share a Firewall with my neighbor, this building has 2 residences in it. Technically "Multi-Housing". With this new Law that passed, if it were here, I couldn't even Smoke in my own HOME!!! Can't Smoke in my car, Can't Smoke outside at Work. Can't Smoke ANYWHERE!!! Do you realize what could happen with a Smoker who OWNS GUNS!!!!

11.15.6 :

Congressional Leaderships being set in Place. Well I only want to comment on the House of Representatives new Minority Leader Election. I support John Shadegg R-AZ to replace Dennis Hastert. It's not because I live in AZ. Maybe I know about him more because I am in AZ. In my view Senator John Kyl R-AZ represents AZ in a true conservatism of the Western USA without becoming a, "BeltWay Native" DC'er by serving in the SENATE. I feel the same way about John Shadegg as AZ and the Western USA's Representative in the House.

11.13.6 :

Sad to say.... My Cardinals Lost to the Dallas CrackBoyz, South America's Team yesterday. We have the BEST Stadium in the NFL, and my Team has the WORST Record in the NFL (1-8). How this happens I don't know, I do know 1 thing, no playoffs for my Team this Year!

11.10.6 :

Remember tomorrow is VETERAN'S DAY! Spend a moment, say thanks to the Veterans all around us who protected the freedoms we enjoy today. At the AZ. Cardinals - Dallas Cowboys Football Game on Sunday. former Cardinal Safety and Arizona State University Football player, turned USA ARMY RANGER, Pat Tillman will be placed in the RING OF HONOR in the New Cardinals Stadium. Statue and naming of the tree lined walk-way around the Stadium will be named in his Honor. Forever remembered #40 AZ. Cardinal!!!

11.9.6 :

Remember how I was saying that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid were "Missing" in the final 2 weeks before the Election? Well in Nancy Pelosi's case, it looks to me some Plastic Surgery, or BOTOX, something was going on. Her recent Photo's Post-Election seems to show it! Makes me wonder if you rub her cheek with your finger, if it will humm like a Lead Crystal Champagne Glass.... And BOY! Does she have big full lips now! All in all though it's still like putting Lipstick on a Pig! I wonder if Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid had some "re-surfacing" done also....?

11.8.6 :

Holy Cow! We lost both the House and Senate to the Robber Barons!!! President Bush already running around like a Lame Duck, replacing Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Question is NOT how did the Democrats STOLE the Election. WE LOST!!! The Question is: Are there enough Conservative Republicans left in the House and Senate to at least cause some Grid-Lock? We already know the TAX Cuts we have enjoyed and spurred this Economy to new Stock Market Highs, and record Low Unemployment will go away. Always remember it is the RICH People who CREATE JOBS, not Gov't. Generally a Family of 4 household income of $50,000 to $70,000 saved $3,000 or more in the Tax Cuts that WILL DISAPPEAR. This is before the increased revenue that incoming Ways & Means Chairman Charlie Rengal who said 2 weeks ago that there is not 1 Tax Cut he Favors. He said himself that increased Revenue to the Federal Gov't is needed. Increased Revenue only means 1 thing, HIGHER TAXES!!!

11.3.6 :

I heard this today. Former Senate Democrat, thrown out of his Party because the only thing he disagreed with the Liberals was the War Policy. Joe Lieberman, Vice Presidential Nominee with Al Gore. Has been approached by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on giving him some "Cushy" Chairmanships if the Democrats take Control and Lieberman is an independant but sits on the Democrats Side of the Senate. This after the Democrats Replacement is running 12+% points BEHIND Lieberman. Would you go back into their Arms after they spat at you, kicked you, and threw dirt in your Face? Joe Lieberman is a Liberal Democrat. But at least he's honest about it, and actually has a Brain. I know he won't join the Republican side of the aisle. But maybe he should hold a Seat right between the Republicans and the Democrats. A seat on the Fence. A good guy going from the Democrat Liberal Dark Side, towards looking at the Light. Somehow I don't think Lieberman will be as Liberal as he has been in the past. Not a victory for Republicans, but certainly a big self imposed Loss on the Liberal Democrats.

11.2.6 :

I did get something intersting in the Snail Mail. My Annual Social Security Statement..... Now 1st remember, realize, that whatever anything COSTS Today, in 18 -20 yrs will Cost TWICE as Much just on Approx. 3% annual Inflation.

If the Social Security System remains unchanged, in 18 1/2 yrs at Age 62 I would get about $1,200 a month if my current Salary Increases remain the same. This is the equivalent of $600 a month in Today's $$$

If I work 'till my full retirement age of 67, 23 1/2 yrs from now and everything remains the same, I would get about $1,700 a month. Or about $750 to $800 in Today's $$$.

If I work 'till age 70, 26 1/2 yrs from now, and everything stays the same, I would get about $2,150 a month, or about $850 to $900 a month in Today's $$$.

And that's if Social Security Still EXISTS and remains unchanged!!!! Oh Yeah! I am counting on SOCIAL SECURITY!!! NOT!

10.31.6 :

Now for the BEST NEWS OF THE DAY: The Space Telescope HUBBLE will be SAVED!!!! And I know DAMN Well that my favorite Radio Show Coast To Coast AM with George Norry and Art Bell played a big part in this! All the replacement Parts are already made and sitting on the shelf. All that was needed was a Mission to be scheduled! Original Mission Cancelled right after the Columbia Accident. Fortunately with a new NASA Administrator and an EMAIL and Fax campaign by my Radio Show. HUBBLE will be SAVED!!!

10.30.6 :

Well we have 1 more Week of Political Ads, all the Time on Radio and TV. Maybe newspapers too, but not many people buying them anymore. If you are a prepared Knowledgeable VOTER, you knew a MONTH ago how you are going to VOTE. If you are just now trying to decide now based on Political Ads, you should NOT have the Right to VOTE! Maybe we should go back in time.... to only those who DO PAY TAXES, and/or own property to be able to VOTE! ie. If you are a Renter and pay $0 in taxes and actually get $$$ from Tax Credits, or the Gov't pays your way. You don't get to VOTE. If you can't Read, or can't read ENGLISH or Braille, NO VOTE FOR YOU! As Sienfeld's Soup Nazi would say. And maybe a Simple TEST. Just be able to answer 1 Question on who or what is on the Ballot. Any State or Congressional Race and who is running.

10.27.6 :

This may be my last night outside on my "Park Bench" for the Show as next week, the time changes for everyone else but us here, means the Show starts at 11PM instead of 10PM and ends at 3AM instead of 2AM. Already getting chilly here at night, an extra hour later end time will be on the verge of COLD! Last Friday night when the Show ended at 2AM it was 61 degrees here! When it drops to the mid 50's here I wear a jacket to work, and this is not sitting outside listeniening to a radio Show and on the internet for 4 hrs! Probably going to be stuck in my Den after tonight until about TAX Time!

10.26.6 :

OH! We got a Good One from the "RELIGION OF PEACE" Today!!! Women without VEILS are like "Uncovered MEAT".... "Women are weapons used by SATAN to control Men".... This message brought to you by, in a Sermon by Australia's most Senior Muslim Cleric. Now remember recently CAIR, (Council of American Islamic Relations) Director stated that the Koreans... I mean the KORAN should be the Highest Authority in the USA, superceding the US Constitution!!!!

10.25.6 :

Well I hope I am not jumping the Gun as a topic for Friday, but most of you will undergo the folly of FALLING BACK this Sunday morning, moving all your clocks back 1 Hour. Like I have said for YEARS this is a waste of Time in a 24 hr. Society. Maybe it is time to go GLOBAL, Not a one World Gov't, Not Global Warming, Not Global Cooling. But a WORLD TIME. USe the 24 hr. Clock Format 00:00 is midnight in Greenich England, but it is also 00:00 in Dallas, TX. That way you know when you hear the NEWS a BIG EARTHQUAKE hit Los Angeles, CA. at 17:05, Everyone Everywhere will know how long ago it happened when they heard the NEWS. And if they have a working Brain will be able to determine that it was around LUNCH TIME in LA when the Earthquake hit.

10.24.6 :

Well the Mid-Term Elections are 2 weeks away, there is no way to aviod Political ADS on TV, Radio, or Newspapers between now and then. And they are all going to get nasty! 1/2 Truths, Smears, outright Lies, deceptive Ads, etc. It would be Best if you stayed informed and have now basically made up your mind what who you are voting for or against. Because Right now both the Republicans and Democratics have their Base lined up, including folks on the moderate fringes of each Party. The Fight is now on for the Voters who say, "HMMMM. Election is only 2 or less weeks away, time to watch and pay attention to the Political Ads!!!" Well if you just pay attention to this now, you will reach this conclusion. Republicans want all the Poor People Dead, and the Democrats want Terrorists to kill all the Rich people. Leaving the Middle Class to decide who is in power.

10.23.6 :

Well less than 1 Week since the Biggest Monday Night Football COLLAPSE vs the Chicago Bears, My AZ. Cardinals LOST to the WORST NFL TEAM in the League yesterday!!!! To the Oakland Raiders 22-9!!! This is ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFULL!!!! Well the Dennis Green (AZ. Cards Head Coach) Beheading, I mean TERMINATION watch is now on! In my opinion, it won't happen this week. It will be next week after the Game VS Green Bay, an AWAY Game. Then it is the BYE WEEK. I will bet by next Monday a new or Interim Coach will be named, and they are already well underway in the process.

10.20.6 :

Darn it All, I am always running LATE on Fridays! I will try to adjust my schedule ome soon. The Time Change at the End of the this Month will help! It will give me an Extra Hour on Fridays after work. Why? Well most of you will fall Back an hour. I will not. So my Show that now starts at 10PM will Start at 11PM. Just like the NFL Games, Starting at 11AM instead of 10AM, Late Games starting at 2PM instead of 1PM. Arizona doesn't move it Time, or Clocks. We just switch Time Zones. Right now we are Pacific Time, come Sunday OCTOBER 29th we will be Mountain Time Zone.

10.19.6 :

Well isn't this nice.... My Cardinals Nuclear MeltDown in Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears has apparently rocketed the plight of the Cardinals Fans to the equivalent of MLB Chicago Cubs Fans in the Nation's Eyes. Maybe this is a good thing? If we WIN the Nation as a whole feels Happier that the Underdog has won. If they Lose, it was to be expected so no real downturn in the NAtion's Mood. Myself, I believe at the Start of every Game that we will WIN! Sure we are 1 and 5 right now. The Best 1 and 5 Team in the League! 11-5 will get us in the PLAYOFFS!!!

10.18.6 :

North Korea informs CHINA it plans on 3 MORE NUKE TESTS! Do you know what Holy Hell this is going to Raise???? Before I saw this Story I saw Reports that CHINA was considering Assassinating Kim Jong Ill because of the 1st Nuke Test, and just earlier Missile Tests! And if these planned Tests take Place, you will see Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, go NUTS!!! Just Today we had to tell and Remind Japan that we (The USA) will defend Japan with all our might against North Korea as per TREATY.

10.17.6 :

Well it is 3 weeks 'till the mid-term Elections. Drive By Media says the Democrats will win back contol of the House and Senate. I wouldn't bet on it! Their Polling is flawed. The are taking polls as a whole of the Country where this Election is mostly Local for House of Representatives. Most disapprove of Congress as a whole, but like their own Representative. The Democrats may gain 4 to 6 Seats in the House, but nowhere near enough to take over as the Majority. The Senate may tighten by 1 seat, but will still be Republican Controlled.

10.13.6 :

Boy I'm Glad I'm not in Northern NY anymore!!! Sure all the SNOW is in the Buffalo Area, western NY. But my part of NY has been COLD, without the moisture. Global Warming rearing it's ugly head!!! Well this Global Warming is going to be sending many Buffalonians to AZ!!!! OK, OK! I restate this.... It is not GLOBAL WARMING! It is SOLAR SYSTEM WARMING. Venus, Mars, Jupitor, and Saturn are ALL HEATING UP! I am very sure we are not causing WARMING on these other Planets. So what is it? Just a natural Solar Cycle that lasts 100,000 of years! You can tell by the NEWS. Earth is the WARMEST it has been in 250,000 YEARS!!! WELLL How Many CARS did we have back then???? Maybe it is when we discovered how to use FIRE!!!!

10.11.6 :

Maybe I am "Old School". But Christmas Season used to Start on Thanksgiving Day at the end of NYC's MACY'S ThanksGiving Day Parade when Santa Claus ended the stellar Parade. That's when, or after if you had Family and friends over for ThanksGiving Dinner and NFL Football left, that you started putting up the CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS! Well going to work 10:30PM last night (10/10/06) as I reached the end of my Driveway what did I see? Across the Street and a few houses down, a house Decorated for CHRISTMAS! 2 1/2 months AWAY from NOW! Can't people wait until at LEAST AFTER HALLOWEEN????? And NO, these are NOT Halloween and/or ThanksGiving Decorations! And definately not Veterans Day Decorations!

10.10.6 :

Hmm... Seems likely that North Korea's Nuke Test went "pop" intead of "BOOM!!! A DUD! Timing of the High Explosives to start a nuclear reaction apparently off. ie: What went off was the equivalent of a New Years EVE popper that spews out streamers. When they expected a Fireworks Shell Exploding like you see at a Fireworks Show! China is not Happy at ALL! Even suggesting joining in on the Sanctions. Kim Jong Ill should fear China trying to kill him more than US! I think he went way out of bounds for the Chinese! China does NOT want Japan, and ESPECIALLY TAIWAN to be even considering builing their own NUKES! They can do it in less than a year and be better than the Chinese NUKES!!! So the situation as of Sunday night is not as perilous as it appeared. North Korea doesn't have it right yet, and China is totally pissed off at them!

10.9.6 :

Well there is one piece of good News. The Temps here are supposed to below 90 all week. License Plate colors are changing, and Out of State RV's are showing up. The Snowbird Season has begun! Happy Days again for Buffet Places, Garage Sales, and Bingo Parlors!!!

10.5.6 :

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have almost zero interst in this Years MLB Baseball Playoffs/Post-Season. Usually in the past few years I am at least interested in the Post Season, but for some reason not this year. Now I am mostly interested in the NFL, and College Football. NBA, I no longer Care. NHL I lost interest in it before I moved to Arizona 22 yrs ago. College Basketball, March Madness I am interested in. Means once again April thru August will be a very dry period except for the Indy 500.

10.4.6 :

I will not end up living in Retirement like my Dad did, WITH SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICADE and the SOCIAL PROGRAMS or the elderly!!! I just say, don't come to me in 30 yrs for hand-outs! I tried my best, I prepared for ME and sacrificed $$$ I could splurge with in the past. I lived within my means, Credit Card Debt ZERO, and saving for MY Retirement. Not to Share it with anyone who never had the forsight to plan for themselves! But here is the other answer.... I would have to work 2 JOBS to Save any $$$..... My Answer: Would you rather work 2 JOBS NOW... Or when you are 65 or 70 to just keep a Cheap Mobile Home Roof over your Head to avoid the Grocery Cart Home????

10.3.6 :

NEW HIGH!!! Stocks Closed at it's ALL TIME HIGH TODAY! 11,727+ Higher than the Previous High of Jan. 14th 2000 of 11,722+. WOO HOO!!!! The Glass Ceiling has been broken through! I hope the Stocks do a 2-Step Dance. 2 steps Higher, 1 Step Back. REPEAT OVER AND OVER!!! Then MAYBE I can RETIRE in less than 12 yrs. Instead of 23+ yrs! Retiring at 55 sounds a lot better than 67!!!!

10.2.6 :

After 4 Games, it seems like my AZ. Cardinals have thrown in the towel for the season by replacing Kurt Warner (Week #1 NFC Player of the week) with Rookie QB Matt Lienart in the 4th Quarter of yesterday's disasterous game and naming Lienart the Starter for next week. DAMN! Well you know I will be attending Every Home Game as I have for the past 15 yrs, and I will renew my Season Ticket next year. It is the NFL, and this is my Team in good times and Bad.
