Willy 'n the Old Dogger are lovin' the cool (some might say cold) dry weather cycle we're having right now…bright sunshiny frost on the windows mornings….I left my old truck parked on the street last nite (Alice Hymers kickin' in, I s'poze for want of a better reason)..,On the street, icy windows; in the driveway, clear….t'is that old devil wind what does the trick…
Had to stop 'n watch the crew working on the old movie house…appear t'be dismantling the false front completely….all old plywood 'n particle board underneath…the quonset itself looks pretty good considering that it must have gone in there in the late '40s….I think the current word to describe it should be 'Retro' and we'll no doubt have a movement to 'save the quonset'….maybe get the EPA involved…'n possibly immigration but that'd be a whole 'nother story….
Gallivanting 'round 'n about in the old truck, back 'n forth across the river, out to Orangevale with the gurlz, what do I care about a little thing like gas mileage….in the Toyota, a little goes a long way; in the truck, bass-ackwards, I swear you can almost watch the guage going down, down, down….
Last year (last week) the price per gallon wuz going down but this year, thanks I s'poze to all the new taxes, up we go again…I saw where Obama wuz golfing 'n swimming in the blue Pacific, my guess is, he'd be counted among the under-employed….
On the lighter side, I hear that The Gays don't like Chuck Hagel (I don't like him either) for Secretary of Defence…Modern times has a whole new looooong list of qualifications for public service jobs…not sure where that's gonna end but I remember once upon a time I applied for two positions with the California State Lottery…I got turned down for one position becuz I wuz under-qualified 'n turned down for the second one becuz I wuz over-qualified…'n that wuz when I wuz still a Democrat…..
