Check the news, killer on the road. This guy could go out in something akin to the SLA shootout.

Bad day to:

--drive a dark colored pickup. (the wife even called to urge caution)

--need the cops for anything, they're all busy.

--needing equal protection under the law.

No doubt this guy needs to be run down, but if some one did this at the Post Office or a private firm, I doubt every cop in the state would be on it, and I doubt the paper ladies would be in the hospital......

ON THE OTHER HAND, they don't have much choice.

Vanity card from tonight's Big Bang theory

"As I feel more and more alone, my phone confidently connects with everyone. As I feel more and more lost, my phone calmly knows how to get anywhere. As I struggle to remember mundane things like the name of that movie with the boat and the guy with the lip, my phone smugly recalls literally everything. As I increasingly lose the nouns, verbs and adjectives that once stood ready to articulate my thoughts, my phone taunts me with its instant access to all the words there have ever been. There is only one possible conclusion. Slowly, without realizing it, I seem to have outsourced my mind to my phone. And to make matters worse, the damn thing knows it...and it's starting to screw with me. Several times during the day I feel it buzz in my pocket, alerting me that some vital information has just arrived. Then, when I look, there's nothing there. No email. No Text. Nothing. Was the buzz in my mind? I don't think so, I think it's purposeful. I think my phone is mocking me. And it's not just my phone. It's all of them. They are working together, systematically robbing us of our intelligence, our humanity. And then, when we are made stupid and helpless they will take over. It's just a matter of time before the next generation of iPhone is equipped with an opposable thumb, Oh yeah, they're smart alright. Evil, world domination smart.

I have to call people and tell them...Oh great, now I have no bars! Dear God, what is happening?!"

Oh too true Chuck Lorre

Hey guys. Happy February. I've been fighting a terrible ailment. I believe it to be bronchitis, but as there is no clinical test, and most doctors wont prescribe anything other than OTC meds for it, I havnt seen a doctor. Its been 3 weeks and its just about gone, which is the correct time frame for it. It also doesnt help that I have been working a LOT. Averaging 50 hours per week, plus an hour to work and an hour home every day has been taking its toll.

The hosing situation hasnt improved much. Myself and some friends applied to rent a house here in Ventura. Our application was processed and accepted by the property management company and has been given to the property owner for final decision. Fingers crossed.

I can provide a referral to a painter but not a contractor. I can ask some of my clients in Ventura if you still haven't found someone.

I hope you feel better brother. No one likes being sick at all, let alone for that long. You're a better man than I that's for sure.

You should get your *** to the doctor! I know you play one on TV and on night shift and all. But whoever told you they won't prescribe anti-biotics for Bronchitis is yankin your crank.

It really isn't something to fool around with. Word!
