Rambling

I just changed the title of my other blog to, "On Racism and Republicans." A more appropriate title would have been, "On Racism and Democrats," but I want to lure in unsuspecting Democrats looking for dirt against Republicans -- and then wipe the dirt in their face. I began that blog intending to have only the "Stop the Republicans" post on it, but as I got into the subject matter, I found it SO rich with information that I couldn't stop with just that one post. I added a post today that exposes the racism of Woodrow Wilson. It's an information blog, so there's no need to have comments turned on. Anything you want to say can be posted here. I went to our local animal shelter yesterday to try to get my dog-walking job back. Somebody must have died and willed the place 10 million bucks, because it is totally plush now. What was funny is that one big, brown mutt saw me and put one paw on the door to his kennel and gave me the big, brown-eyed sympathy look, like the cat in the Shrek movies. I'm guessing he won't be there long. I've decided that the next time my lease comes up for renewal, I'm moving to a place that allows dogs. I left that place wanting at least five dogs and a kitten that must have had a Bose speaker implant that amplified his purr. It looked like his cage was vibrating. This year, my birthday falls on Friday the 13th. I fear what I'm going to find when I go to work tonight. It's one of those last years -- the last year of my 50s -- that will have me dreading the following birthday all year long. As the old adage goes, if I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.
