Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

200 Posts and other stuff

Boy, was I not paying attention. I hit 200 posts. Not bad for a rookie!
Considering it was started as a bit of a lark.
Oh there was a Major Primary Upset in Delaware last night. Christine O'Donnell waxed the establishment favorite in the GOP primary for the senate. Gotta love that Tea Party and a Sarah endorsement.
From this Old Sea Dog's viewpoint, the times may be changing come November. We can only hope. I did catch a bit on Fox News of the Wicked Witch of The West saying she has confidence that the DemComs will maintain control and she will keep her job as spinchter.......Not to sure of either with the feelings I get.
I sure as hell hope that she becomes just the Representative from San Fran Idiotville. We know that one is safe with her base. They are all just as disconnected as she is. A peas in the pod thing, as it were.
Oh Yeah, this is 201 in less than a year. I can be a pain at times, can't I?
And thanks to all for the readership and support. It is still fun. Especially to Buck, Jeff, Kath, MUD, Fredd, kc, snigs, Opus6 and all those who are my followers.

Yeah, Chief: Red Nancy is a real piece o' work, and so are all of her fruitcake constituents. Better to just sit her on the back bench for a spell, where she can't do as much harm as with that damn gavel.

And she is wrong so often, this prediction of hers that the Dems are going to hold onto that gavel, don't make me laugh...they are going to get their lunch eaten by a tidal wave of rejection.

Mark my words, Chief.

I will not go down and tell my children I didn't have the courage, the conviction, the commitment or the character to fight for this country...Don't go home and let your children down~~ LTC Allen West
