Hello from Big Bear!

Well another New Year is upon and the planet has not blown up, the web has not crashed, and people still see what they want to see and disregard the rest. I am still giving directions to people that have them in their hand. “Oh, I have GPS”. Yeah well your still lost aren’t you? I tell people to “Come to our office located at the address above to check in, Directions will follow”. So they plug in the address to the house where they are staying and wonder how to get in. Incredible. It is a wonder that we have not been conquered. Have you ever watched Jay Leno do the bit about “Man on the Street?” He asks basic knowledge questions such as, “what was the name of the ship the Pilgrims sailed to America on?” One person answered the Titanic. Are we that ignorant? I tell people all the time how to get around here in Big Bear. The lake is down here, the mountains surround it. That way is east, and if you are looking at the slopes you are facing south. It ain’t hard. They will sit in my parking lot and call me saying that they cannot find the front door. Did you even look?

Sadam is dead. One less tyrant to worry about. I won’t be looking over my shoulder for him anymore. I like the idea of carrying out the sentence right away. Not like here where you may be sentenced to death but you still get to live on my nickle for 20 to 30 more years while the appeals process takes place. What a crock. Let the punishment fit the crime. You shoot somebody, you should be shot. I really don’t give a damn about your rights to a humane execution. Painless my ass, did they consider the victims rights, pain, suffering, and pure terror? I would not go as far as torture, but as I said, let the punishment fit the crime. You litter, you get to clean my country. You steal, you get to work in my store stocking the empty shelves. You get the picture.

Happy New Year to you all (whomever reads my rants)  and may the times to come be filled with all the joys and comforts that you deserve.

See you on the mountain.

Tom
