It's supposed to freeze tonight, so I went out and picked all the green tomatoes. My friend Cindy has been waiting for this so she could have them and make fried green tomatoes. Usually I go out of town in October and she comes over and picks them and tells me we had a freeze while I was gone.
This has been a funny year. This is the latest I have had fresh tomatoes. There were two red ones so I was able to have BLT's for dinner tonight. There's nothing like homegrown tomatoes. Now I have to wait until next year.
I'm beginning to feel like Scott Adams. More and more people are trying to guess what company TCIDNN is. Shhhh! It's a secret! I'd like to work there another year so y'all will have to keep guessing. I'm not ready to be retired like Pumpman.
If all goes according to plan, sometime tonight or early tomorrow I will score my 100,000 hit since moving to this site last December. I could have claimed 100,000 earlier since my old Blowspot site has 24,000 hits (people are still going there). Now this is nothing compared to Kim du Toit and Rachel Lucas who both started blogging about the time I did, but I'm happy that I have some people who enjoy my stuff. Thanks to all my readers.
And speaking of Rachel Lucas who is still MIA, Rantburg linked to this article about Michael Moore that had this paragraph in it.
There’s even one woman named Rachel Lucas, known for her coffee-mugs emblazoned with the logo "Imagine No Liberals," whose bile towards Moore at least matches Moore’s towards his nemesis, George W. Bush. Lucas has even initiated an online poll offering her fans speculation on what sort of cancer might eventually kill Moore.
Not anymore. Rachel, please come back.
Moore's new book, Dude Where's My Country?, should really be named, Dude, Where's My Penis? That fat bastard probably hasn't seen it in 20 years. Oh yeah, there's this tidbit from Moore's book:
It’s really a bad idea to have sex before you’re 18 (at which point, Moore admits he remained a virgin until the age of 32).
Probably not by choice.
I see that Iraq Now is overwhelmed. That's what happens when you get linked by Lileks. We need to get him to move off Blowspot.
My sister is coming down tomorrow and we get to go shopping for Thanksgiving dinner which we are having at my house this year. Cindy's family has had me every year since my mother died (I used to go up to St. Louis every year and spend Thanksgiving with her) so this year is my payback. Southerners eat early but we always ate around 6:00, so we're compromising and eating around 2:30. My sister is doing most of the cooking, but I'll have to do some chopping and cutting. My sister is a very good cook. (She reads this so I have to suck up.) She does make the best apple pie in the world.
Yeah, this is rather sucky tonight. No one has really pissed me off. I actually agreed with sumpin' that Jay Bookman wrote in today's Urinal and Constipation. Now, he is on record as spouting the same old liberal bullshit about how we took unilateral action and we should have gotten the approval of the UN, and it really mattered what France and Germany thought, and yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah. But just like a stopped clock being right twice a day sometimes Jay actually has a lucid moment.
Should we be forced to withdraw prematurely from Iraq, we would leave behind a shattered country that would quickly descend into anarchy, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people who have put their faith in the United States. It would also turn Iraq into a hotbed of terrorism that would exceed even the worst prewar nightmares of the Bush administration.
Look, even Jay Bookman understands this. Too bad all the Dimocrat nitwits running for president, with the exception of Joe Lieberman, don't understand this. And now Ted Rall is behind Howard Dean. What an endorsement. The Cold War lasted 40 years because of the Appeasement Dimocrat Party. I'm hoping that they are not responsible for WWIV lasting 40 years.
Assholes!
Almost worked up enough energy for a rant, but it's not there. I'm gonna kill off the rest of a bottle of wine and watch some football.
Sure wish Atlanta had a professional football team.
