Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not.

Samuel Johnson, lexicographer (1709-1784)

Tired again today, I'd like to write it off to the weed eradication efforts of the past few days but this seems a bit excessive for that.

Cool weather, it's been in the mid to low 50's for over two weeks now...

When you get old, its not what you have done that you'll regret, its the things you didn't do.

Still feeling punky... wish I knew why.

Ran errands, Select Comfort to find out how to figure out where the leak in my bed is, I went to ATT Wireless at the AV Mall but they can't do anything but he sent me across the street, apparently the "Authorized Dealer" sign give him authorization to send me across the street to the ATT store, I got my phone replaced and changed my "package" back to the $29. a month deal... , I went to Cycle Rider to get a tank bag for my bike

I just blew away everything I had written for today... I tried to put a link in to a very funny site called:

I hope you can listen to the audio files, they are a crack-up.
 
I saw a cute license plate [frame]:
 
Yesterday I went to the Select Comfort store to inquire about how to figure out what is wrong with my mattress so I went home and did what the lady said and determined that it was the "air-chamber" I drove down to the store again only to have her tell me that they can't sell me a new mattress;
I wrote this:

If you own one of the "Select Comfort Sleep Systems" and something goes wrong, knowing the location of a store is pointless and your website is misleading at best. The air-chamber sprang a slow leak that has been getting progressively worse over the years to the point where I was motivated to get of my lazy butt and get a new one, I went down to the Select-Comfort-Store-at-a-convenient-location-near-me to get a new one and was told (politely) that I had to order it through the Customer Service Center, we did that and I will have my air-chamber in 3-5 damn working days. Now, I have two questions; Why the hell can't I buy an air-chamber for my "Sleep System" at one of your stores? and; Why doesn't your website mention this hassle somewhere under Customer Service. A simple Sentence stating: "For replacement parts and materials, DO NOT GO TO A SELECT COMFORT STORE, THEY CAN NOT HELP YOU! please call 800 YOU PUTZ." would have saved me a 25 mile trip (Yes, I know, a simple phone call would have accomplished the same thing, I never said I was smart)

I feel the war was ill advised. I feel the administration has a hidden agenda. I think that Iraq was not a threat to America or anyone else except Iraq. I think that there really were no WMD’s. Their Army has been decimated since BWI, they have no Navy, they have no Air Force, their missiles are the next step up from fireworks. The only Chemical and biological weapons they have/had are the ones we gave them back in 1987, and they really are most likely destroyed. It was all about money, power and OIL. People have been sent to kill and be killed for cheap oil… and Bush and his Cabal for World Domination sleep like a babies… I think that sucks. 

But from what I hear most Conservative Republicans think Bush was right , so from their perspective then, I must be wrong, about everything.

I believe that killing people who are not a threat to me is wrong... so that must be wrong.

bullet

I believe that killing people to liberate them is wrong... so that must be wrong.

bullet

I believe that killing people solely because they can't prove to me that they are not a threat to me is wrong... so that must be wrong too.

This is nuts, I could go on and on, but what is the point, if you think the way I do I am preaching to the choir and wasting my energy, if you disagree with my perspective nothing I say will change your mind so... I am wasting my energy.
