Will Summer let us know when it has entered the building?

Well here we are at another week with no signs of summer. Officially on the calendar, summer begins on Monday but I for one will remain skeptical. Now I am wondering if we are going to have continued lousy weather into July and August or, as often happens in this wacky weather that is New England, will we have this blazing hot summer weather? I personally think the latter is going to happen. Not due to any cheeky optimism on my part, but rather due to the fact that the exact opposite of what you expect to happen in New England weather wise is usually what happens. Who would want to be a weather forecaster in New Mexico or San Diego where you know what the weather will be like on September 4 right now, because it is exactly the same each year on that date?

I do have to say that I am a bit disappointed in President Obama and the way he is handling this Iran mess. I think it's pretty obvious that the election for President there was far from a fair and free election. Never mind that the nut jobs who run the country pick the candidates anyway the fact that a man who has run the country into the ground while picking fights with any country who can help Iran won something close to 70 percent of the vote is unlikely to say the least. There is a line that I think came from the Woody Allen movie Banana's where he says "we don't want the people to think we stole the election, a simple landslide will suffice." Some force full words would be very appropriate I believe.

I just finished "Go Down With Me" a book about Bonnie and Clyde. It was very interesting, I gave it four stars on Amazon. The author basically makes the Barrow gang to be a bunch of people who were very violent and who were one step ahead of the law trying to catch them. Thanks to B&C law enforcement started to work much closer together and now we see international manhunts and Amber Alerts all of which seem to stem from this one case.

As for the Red Sox what can I say other than poor Dice K. I like you man but you can't walk 7 or 8 batters a game and expect to win!!! Oh and dinner last night was courtesy of the Red Wing Diner on Rte 1 in Walpole. The places at Patriot Place look much better but not a one can match the Red Wing when it comes to food! Well I hope my new shower rod is behaving itself and staying up today!

Ah a lovely Sunday morning

Sunday mornings are always such restful and relaxing ways to either end or start a week, depending on one's perspective. Sitting back with the newspaper, going to church, heading out for a soccer game, what ever your choice, Sunday mornings are always such quite and contemplative parts of the week with what to me seems to be fresher air and bluer skies.

I see the Prez took Mrs. Prez out to see a Broadway show last night. First off, who cares. I mean it's news when the President makes a decision regarding national security, the economy or some matter of government. I don't care that the guy goes out for burgers or to a Broadway show. It is just more proof that our news has gone to crap.

Speaking of crap, Jay Severin is being let back on the air, gee what a surprise that his indefinite suspension was as short as possible. Severin is scum plain and simple. Anyone with half a brain can not listen to his so called talk show without realizing that he's just an actor playing the part of a pundit. I have heard Michelle McPhee on WTKK and she has reasonable, well thought arguments which she presents from the conservative point of view. Jay Severin is no more a conservative then Paul Pierce is a jockey. He is much closer to Howard Stern than to anyone intelligent.

Oh I did take Max the Wonder Dog for a ride in my car yesterday. I noticed something very unusual when I got him back to my mother's house. For one thing he was sitting down in the passenger seat, staring straight ahead as if he were a human being. My first thought was "NOT GOOD" I was thinking there might be a pool of pee or worse waiting. Nope, thankfully all he did was to wrap his leash in the seat belt holder and then under his hind legs. Essentially hog tieing himself to the seat. Now if I can only teach him to do that.

Oh and let's not forget the Boston Fireman who is implicated in growing pot in his basement. Well we all know how Boston Firefighters don't need drug testing and here is yet more proof of that. Why don't these idiots with cushy civil service jobs understand how easy they have it? This guy is as stupid as the Registrar of Probate in Middlesex County who realized that he could make so much more money stealing quarters from the copy machines in full view of the video cameras. Wow, what a genius!!!
