Cone of Silence.

Well, I hope you enjoyed mine.

I just couldn't think of anything NICE to say.

I mean.

How do you feel all NICE about it when you are out there huffing around behind a gasoline-free reel push-mower and then the bastard across the road starts tuning up his DRAG RACER?

Here I am, sweating like a HORSE,(pigs don't sweat, I have this on the authourity of a Pig-Meister from the local 4-H dealie), doing my best to reduce carbon emissions and maybe bring down the cost at the pump...and this asshat blows more petroleum just starting up that stock car than I would use in a month of mowing on my lawn tractor.

His brother, just up the road, is into dragsters too.

It's like living in frucking Hazard County, forchrissakes.

And, yes, many of them have confederate flags in the rear window, for, GOD ONLY KNOWS, whatever reason....I would SWEAR that Ohio is well north of the Mason-Dixon line.....

Anywayz.

Other things this week that I could not say anything nice about, (so I didn't say anything at all);

-We're in a drought over here, 3 weeks with virtually no rain. It's dusty yet humid, STANKASS weather.

So downtown Smallville decides that wasting water from the fire hydrants is The Thing To Do.

Water that some of the farmers, not a mile away, would KILL for.

Water that could have been pumped into tankers and maybe used on a field or two. 

Kudos to the City Works Department.

-Have you checked out the pathetic meezley size of those "Alternative-to-Plastic" shopping bags they offer at the Walmart Store? You can probly fit, like, one quart of milk, 2 apples and a smallish box of Cheezits into one bag. So you would have to buy about FIFTY of them to get your groceries home. 

I bet the handles rip out real easily, too.

-Spent ANOTHER $456 at the vet on horse meds. Don't need to say anything else,yup yup.

-Trying to terminate a cell-phone service contract. It's infuriating. It's nearly impossible.

And an adventure that deserves it's own rant. Stay tuned.

-Yet another used diaper was seen abandoned on the TSC parking lot.

It's the beginning of the end.....

So.

That was what was going on under this cone of silence over here.

There's plenty more....but those were the highlights.

And, in spite of me not saying anything at all,(since I couldn't come up with anything nice), they all behaved quite badly anyway.

So what good is it?????

 

*hmmph!*
