There must be a reason, so invent the conspiracy


I am becoming easily distracted, and it was surely the television's fault that I have to change what I am doing because of boredom. They invent remotes and I get fat but can quickly find something new to distract myself -- heavens! I wouldn't want to actually sit and think and write a new purpose in my life and direction - just go with the flow... when you bump into America it will be wonderful.

I visited the trailer park people (stereotypes thereof) at their shopping spots, I was looking for .22 LR in bulk. But Big Kmart didn't have any, Wal-mart didn't have any and I was not happy. Looking at their shelves, which aren't really loaded with bunches of bullets anyway I figure if China made lots of .22 LR I would have found it piled up everywhere, but they probably protect the Pandas by not providing plinking power to the people. Today I will try the more expensive gunshop, and not write anything bad to jinx the visit.

Along with the frustration for foolishness is good news and pictures of my reason to be grandfatherly, over ninety days now, working on that important one hundred day mark. All ye of little faith, just remember - if I couldn't fix the world, there is the promise of entirely new untainted generations being born that can. Turn off the televisions and teach them to think. Where did I leave the remote?

Yes! Turn off the TV! I wouldn't allow one when the kids were little (well....just for a few videos...no network programming). Amazingly they read, even though we have one now.
The little guy looks wonderful!

Jog on, gently, jog on! The land where one has to think is the one without massed media... a pleasant place in Jane Austin's world?

Keep the TV off, it's truly a time waster! The Grandson is looking good!

aww, He's a darling... such a beautiful smile on his face.

TV is only good for background noise. The grandkids would be sad though if I threw mine out. They do love to read their books as well.
