Invader Zim...

Well Kiddies, Invader Zim is finally out on DVD!! Not just one DVD, but a # DVD set with all of the episodes and "lost" stuff from the show. I purchased it at Wal Mart last week for $18!!! Crazy!! I cant wait to be able to watch some of them. Several years ago, a friend gave them to me from ones that he a downloaded off the net. They were good quality, but not DVD quality. Just an Update...

I go to Durham on Friday morning to spend the weekend with my brother!! I cant wait! It will be nice to get out of the house. I also go to day shift on Monday, I am not too excited about this, but I have to for a bit.

School Bus Drivers and Safety...

How come is it that the god ole USA requires that EVERY Car and Truck have a Seat Belt; but that a Bus or more to the point, a School Bus does not have to have a seal belt??  DO they no drive on the road with all the other crazy people?  Why just today, I went and picked up my daughter early at school and we drove down a very curvy and hill laden road called Old Hundred Road.  On this road was Swiftcreek Middle School.  They got out early because our school district is so big they have to stagger the bus schedule.  We I followed Bus 369 doing 55mph down this road that is a 35mph road and I called into the school district transportation office and reported the driver for going 55mph.  Shouldn't the buses be required to have seatbelts in them as all other vehicles do??  I think that I read that in California, where most things cause cancer, they are going top require their buses to have seatbelts!! In this one instance, I congratulate them!! Perhaps they should take this step and apply their fore thinking to other areas of their economy and power industries…

 

All you hear about are school bus accidents and children getting hurt. Will seatbelts help this? Perhaps. Only time will tell.

Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood

over questions of reality and illusion.

I know this: if life is an illusion, then I

am no less an illusion, and being thus, the

illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I

love, I slay, and I am content.

(Robert E. Howard, Queen of the Black Coast, Weird Tales, May 1934)

Chesterfield Flasher...Ohhhh My!!!

Well kiddies, it looks like we have ourselvs a flasher in the county of Chesterfield, City of Midlothian. We all go to a stripmall in Midlo where the Commonwealth 20 Theater is located as well as Target, TJMax and other stores to numerous to mention. we have had over 30 confirmed flasher moments reported to the police and I think that this should be the new sign in the parking lots showing us all to be ware of a flasher!!
The police caught one flasher that hit several Stop-n-Robs around Chesterfield, but they have not been able to find this person. He likes to be in this area as he has flashed over 40 people this season alone!!! There are lots of cops that patorl that area as many kids hang out there due to the theater and a Barns&Noble on the property as well. Also, they patrol because Chesterfield has a 10pm curfew unless you are with an adult. More on this story as events occure!!

Scientists criticize bird flu search

"Unlike our entertainment, bird flu will arrive from our southern border. Latin American birds are willing to take the bird flu jobs that our Northern birds refuse to do" www.fark.com

This makes as much sence to me as any other misguided scientific exploit. Birds dont like cold weather, or at least most migratory birds go south for the winter. If they come from Asia to Canada via Alaska, that would to me be even colder. Hey, why not import the BIrd Flu from Mexico with all the cheep labor and illegal people as well. Sound like a good ole Democratic plan to me.
