radar I got told today by some co-workers that I should move to Canada so as to avoid the military draft that inevitably will be coming if the world keeps moving in the direction that it is today. True these are middle aged women who have opinions on everything, but I'd like to think I could just write this one off. Sadly, I'm just not too sure. Something I'm learning as I read the paper and try to avoid the talking heads, is that it's not just about what you're being told. Heard an interesting idea on the avaliablity/state of news/blogs/etc. today on Day to Day. It's all because somewhere soon the 300 million-th American will come to exist. Take a quick listen if you can.

My Grandpa Bob knows the King of Thailand. Well, he met him once back in the 60's when he was stationed over there. Told me all about it the other night, and all about the most recent Thai coup and why this isn't anything new. But how he can just say "Oh, I know the King of Thailand. He's a nice guy." Spoken like a true son of the West. Leadville Molly Brown, all that. You can see the world, but you'll never leave the fields of West Texas where you were raised. I love that guy.

Saturday night my buddy Tom had a birthday party. We played Nintendo and ate cupcakes that his wife Jess made. I wore an Native American headress all night that really impressed their cat. These day's there's not many people I'd do that for. And few that they are, they're not in Canada.  ¶ 10/10/2006 06:20:00 PM
