Whole Lot O' Nothing

I have absolutely nothing interesting to talk about and for some reason is really bugging me. All kinds of interesting stuff happens around here, most of it we can't talk about, but right now I got nothing, nada, zip, butkiss, a whole lotta empty. What is up with that? The one thing I have always had plenty of is opinions, most of them are lightly held and irrational but that is beside the point. You would think that I could at least barf out a good rant. There is always something to rant about. In fact, there is usually enough rantible material to reach for glory and let loose with a Tirade. I think it is the meflequine, it must be rotting my brain (as my Bride would point out "that could quite possibly be an improvement"). I wonder if "loss of rant" qualifies for disability. Hmmmm, will need to talk to personnel bubbas about that. Why bother, it would just end up as another Catch-22 situation. The moment you have to deal with the personnel yahoos, you come back with enough material to rant about for a year. Damn, there goes another golden cash cow opportunity! Personnel yahoos.... DAMN THEIR OILY HIDES!

Speaking of cows, I have been following the Mad Cow situation in Washington state with great interest. It is my goal in life to operate a modest Cow/Calf operation back in Texas when I finally get paroled from Uncle Sugar's Navy. I don't think the situation is serious, Bovine Spongeform Encephalopathy is not easily communicable and for it to infect humans you actually have to consume a fair amount of infected Brain and Nervous System material. The problem is the psychological impact on the industry. The perceived danger tore the heart out of the European beef industry which was really good for ours. I certainly don't want to see our industry damaged, considering I wish to make a living in it. In the near term though hopefully the priced will drop and I will have an easier time purchasing to operation of my choice. Ah, yes! Dreams of some are built upon the ruins of others.

On another issue. Today, I got a Christmas card from my sister and her boyfriend. It was really cool cause it was the only Christmas card I got (My Bride and my little ones sent me a present and that was the only present I got). It was really great hearing from them. They are gooey liberal types so they are really funny to be around. However, IF YOUR ARE SENDING JOINT CHRISTMAS CARDS YOU DAMN WELL OUGHTA GET MARRIED!
