This pitcher has a mean curve ball:

Today’s outlier award goes to Sweden. Though that’s premature as the Swedish link is a web host for a Chinese web browser – so the award goes to China via Sweden. Hello China! Thanks for buying all our debt and funding this administration’s wars. The American people are very used to credit cards. We fought Korea and Vietnam on credit cause the people just weren’t buying war bonds like they used to. Pesky gold standard was just holding us back anyway. We buy everything now without thinking about the cost. By the time we have these wars paid off we could have bought several new wars with the money we spent on interest. Ah well, that’s the price for fighting on credit – you miss out on the latest wars.

Morning off with overdue movies – weak coffee and The Station Agent

Jen, “You’ll like it, they sit around and read while smoking cigarettes. That’s pretty much it.”

Mary, “Bob thinks you need to go on a vision quest.”

Nine out of ten Shamans agree, I need to go on a vision quest to get my head clear. I can’t do one this weekend as I have a round of golf scheduled for 10:31 a.m. Saturday morning with Brad and Hannah’s ex Dave.

Brad, “I wanted to get a tee time for ten thirty on one of the back nines.”

Caddy, “You have to call weeks in advance for that time on the back greens.”

Brad, “What about the front nine?”

Caddy, “I can’t do the front at 10:30”, pause, “I do have a 10:31 though.”

Brad, unsure pause, “Right, we’ll take that then.”

Lambert doesn’t have um lined up like this caddy does.

Golf can be a Zen bender, you can think on a link, but it is no vision quest. Billy Jack would not approve (you know he ran for president a few years back – now there’s a man to vote for – ex Marine snake wrangler).

Ok – so vision quest – to get my shit straitened out. Go to the woods to get clear. Mid October – tent – camping – shaman – I know a psuedo shaman named John who just inherited some land in southern Missouri and he wants to do some kind of commune there. He’s started a seven-year cycle of blessings to bring the worms back. Paid for his last session’s tuition by selling a very old shaman’s blanket to the Missouri Historical Society for a chuck o’ change. I think I blogged about that – getting a wrap in the shaman’s blanket. Perhaps John has an acre or two that he could loan me for a little get away.

Brad.
Cabin?

Never heard of Billy Jack? Here’s a born again rap that offers interesting summation.
