Dropping Like Flies

I just remembered there were HTML tags for trimming that horkin' JPEG. So the post below is no longer causing my weblog's table/frames to explode. Now if I could only remember the Javascript tag for rotating an image ... Anyhoo, gracias to Mister Robin in Somerset, UK for trying to edit and send it back to me. But I'd have to download it to this public computer and sirens would go off, librarians would start shrieking and the cosmic vibrations of this place would be upset.

I just got word that my former landlords in Reno, VERY nice people, lost their son a few weeks back. Then I found out that my oldest brother's friend of 30+ years commited suicide so this is a somber, sunny, Saturday. My condolences to Francis n Val, also my bro and everybody concerned.

Makes me think of all those poor "economic draft" grunts over in Iraq, broiling in the 120+ Farenheit weather and risking their lives so the Shrubs can expand their oil empire. Cheney is probably sitting in his "un-disclosed location" right now, going over his stock portfolio and re-calculating the millions in kickbacks he'll get from Halliburton, Becktel and all the rest of the pigs at the trough.

In other news, this last week was a BEAST. Gawd, I hope things improve when we get off this moster timber sale. Every freakin' tree out there is sick or dead. Somebody needs to get a broom and dustpan and clean this forest up!

Tomorrow I'm gonna pick up a little money working overtime on "Fire Patrol" or as we call it, Napping in a Truck.
