Time for a new blog don't you think?

Many topics, many topics.

The Seattle Port Authority not allowing Christmas trees so as not to offend anyone? "We're here to promote peace and harmony." Quote from the deputy managing director of the airport. There will be decorations this year, trees, fabrics and garlands, but nothing with religious ties. The displays will "reflect the Pacific Northwest environment and our diverse community." "We want our passengers to have a sense of celebration and comfort as they travel through our airport."

Just for those "green" rascals. The display will be made from recyclable cardboard tubes, biodegradable cotton material and acrylic ice.

Now I'm at peace and in harmony. Pissed off though.

Oops not so fast.

What about the North Carolina man who found an amputated leg in his smoker? (Wonder how Crawdaddy would feel if he found that in one of his grills?) He refused to return it as he wanted to build a museum and charge $10 for people to view the limb.

The leg belonged to a fellow who had it amputated after a 2004 airplane accident. He put it in the smoker which was kept in a rented storage space. The contents of that space were auctioned when the bill wasn't paid. No clue as to why he put it there to begin with.

Now I'm not sure which one of the fools is a bigger idiot. So much for peace and harmony.

Oh, by the way, this dispute was settled by a TV judge in favor of the amputee. Maybe a tad of peace and harmony.

What about this?

The man who had his girlfriend arrested for assault. She bit his bottom lip off while they were kissing. The lip was found on the floor but was, sadly, not able to be reattached. (John Boy and Billy's Lipless now has serious competition.) No clue as to how this has turned out. Not sure I really care.

No peace and harmony there.

And finally.

I've been on jury duty this week. Haven't been chosen yet which is not too surprising. But after observing the potential jurors and listening to their questions, I hope none of us has to be judged by these "peers".

While leaving the courthouse today, I stopped in the men's room. After standing in line for a few minutes, my turn arrived. OK no problem, but then in the occupied stall next to me, a cell phone rang and was answered. A conversation (seemed like a business call but couldn't be sure; makes no difference) ensued as if no one else was around and continued after I had flushed. Kinda made me want to flush many, many more times but there was a line behind me.

Now that's just not right! People please think about your surroundings before answering a damn cell phone!

You'd think one could find some semblence of peace and harmony in a restroom.

Guess I'm just going to have to meander up to the grassy knoll for peace and harmony!
