Just for you

Patriot Day 2014

I am taking time out from my regular Blogging entries in observance of Patriot Day, Thank you for your indulgence in what I consider very important to honor.

Patriot Day should not be confused with Patriot’s day, also known as Patriots Day, which commemorates the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775, which were two of the earliest battles in the American Revolutionary War.

 

Patriot Day is an annual observance on September 11 to remember those who were injured or died during the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001. Many Americans refer Patriot Day as 9/11 or September 11.

Patriot Day is held in the memory of the almost 3,000 innocent people who died during the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington DC and Shanksville Pennsylvania in the United States of America

What do we do to Observe Patriot Day?

On the direction of the President, the flag of the United States of America should be displayed on the homes of Americans, the White House and all United States government buildings in the whole world. The flag should be flown at half-mast as a mark of respect to those who died on September 11, 2001. Many people observe a moment of silence at 8:46 AM (Eastern Daylight Time). This marks the time that the first plane flew into the World Trade Center. Some communities, particularly in the areas directly affected by the attacks, hold special church services or prayer meetings. People, who personally experienced the events in 2001 or lost loved ones in them, may lay flowers or visit memorials.

 Patriot Day is not a federal or state holiday it is merely a day to remember and reflect on those that lost their lives and to those that gave theirs saving others on that day of the terrorist attacks. Here is some background for those that have forgotten and those of you from other countries.

On September 11, 2001, four planes were hijacked. The hijackers then deliberately flew three of the planes into two important buildings, the Pentagon in Washington DC and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. The fourth crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The loss of life and damage that these hijackings caused form the biggest act of terrorism ever on United States soil. Nearly 3000 people died in the attacks and the economic impact was immense.

The attacks have greatly increased attention to national security in the United States. This has had huge implications for United States national and international politics. This is particularly true for the relationships between the United States and Islamic countries in the Middle East.

 I want to thank the men and women that gave their lives to rescue and treat all the victims of September 11^th and honor those that lost their lives in this tragic terrorist attack on innocent civilians not just from the U.S.

 

May we never forget 911

Thank you for reading

See you next time

By All means please be rude I like it.

 Have you ever had to call a company and you get the one person on the phone that either hates her job or just has a bad attitude? For me that has happened 3 times this week and it is only Wednesday.

 Everyone is entitled to a bad day, but stay focused on the task at hand. I deal with the public on 100% of my job and I have not taken a bad day out on anyone, it has been difficult in a couple instances, but it is doable. And for the record I am not saying am perfect.

The worst was a Human Recourses person for the company. I needed to call about insurance; they had taken out of my check 2 weeks before the insurance kicked in. The woman she was rude and said she didn’t have time for this sort of investigation today. I said I was sorry for any inconvenience that it may cause, but that money was needed elsewhere and for a good cause. What did I get for a reply? I got and what would that be? In a very flip attitude, and seeing how she sort of pushed my buttons I replied “ME… I am the cause that requires the money”

 She said I will put you on hold, and after that she would come on and ask a question and put me on hold again. I asked her after the 3^rd time being put on hold if she was new or training she said no she has done this job for several years and that she is very good at it. I was nice and didn’t make a comment, until she stated that if I had a problem with the way she was handling my call that she could put me on hold and transfer me to voice mail of someone who not only was not in, but on vacation for 2 weeks. I said to her that was not necessary that I could stay on the line with her, but also let her know I was still on the job and told her that every time she puts me on hold is more time I am not doing my job.

 The exasperated sound that she made, let me know she was not up to the task and that is when I asked if her manager was available, she replied why you going to complain about me next? That is when I knew that she may not be the one to be on the phone. I said I would not complain about her, That I just need to get this straightened out, that the money was for bills I needed to pay and that my budget goes from check to check, I then hear her say, well than maybe you need another job. That was the last straw for me. I hung up and called back asked for a H.R. Manager, got one then requested to speak to the next higher one.

 I spoke about my payroll and insurance issue and he resolved it on the phone in 7 minutes, he asked why I asked for him, that there were people in place to handle this under him and if I had, had an issue with dealing with them, My reply was I think there was just a miscommunication between myself and the HR rep.

I so could have thrown her to the wolves, but didn’t, and the only reason I didn’t is because I wanted her to sweat it out knowing I went around her and got it done and she will know when he speaks to her, and I bet she throws herself under the bus.

 It takes more energy to be rude than to be nice and things go quicker… But I will say that Thursday the first rude person I get I will ask them if they need a hug or if I can call someone they do like so they can get a hug! See I am a smart ass too!

Peas and Rice!

I was going about my day to day chores and I was thinking about what my next blog entry should be and as per usual I am roaming through the fringe for inspiration and a full belly, I see nothing I want so I decided to order some Chinese food, so a hop skip and a sock slide across the kitchen floor to the take out menu pile and what does my watering taste buds see, a new Chinese food place for me (sorry for the rhyme I thought it was cleaver), a fast tapping of the phone and in 15 minutes I have an order of Pork Fried rice and beef and broccoli perched on my doorstep.

 I gather all the food and my computer zap on to Netflix and get ready to fill my stomach, watch a crappy movie and let the whirling thought land in my brain pan. I open the beef and broccoli, and the smell made me drool, I open the fried rice and my eye bulge I tense up and I stare at the open box of pork fried rice, what do I see in my rice  . . . PEAS!!!!

PEAS AND RICE!!!

 I know it sounds like I am swearing and in a way I am. Someone has put peas in my rice… if I had a vote there would be no Peas in my rice! I know as human and possessing thumbs that I can pick out or go around the peas, but that was not the point, what Chinese food restaurant would put peas in Chinese Pork fried rice? It must be a mistake.

 I was not angry just surprised, in all the years I have eaten Chinese food I have never had peas in my rice, now peas are one of the vegetables I am not in love with, they are ok but if I never ate one that would be good as well. Every time looked at the rice all I saw were the green little globes of blandness staring back at me mocking me, almost like my mom had gone there and made this rice because she knew I have not been eating enough peas.

 

 Long post short . . .  This place puts peas and diced carrots in all their fried rice, I was so blinded by green I didn’t see the red cubes of vitamin E nestled in between that delicious rice and pork.

 I ate it of course and it was not bad just different, what did I get out of this order of Chinese food? I got a full belly, a blog post and I have met my monthly quota of peas out of it, so in retrospect it was a win-win-win. - I also discovered that Chinese do not call it Chinese food, they just call it food.

P.S.  I find myself saying “Peas and Rice” now instead of cursing

See you next time.

 

PEAS AND RICE!

It’s VP not VIP

In my line of work you need to be easy going but stay stern and within your post orders and within reason, not to mention take nothing personal and direct nothing personal at anyone, But there are times you wonder what the hell they are thinking.

 When there is a policy of the clients in place and has been in place for 17 years you would think someone who has been employed there for 15 years would understand what is required and that just because you are VP it does not make you a VIP when it comes to ignoring your own companies policies especially if they pre-date you.

 This action sort of puts me in the cross-hairs, because I am not allowed to explain to them what they should do nor can I give anyone orders, so you (I) must refer them to the Powers that be, who in turn comes back and at us and says good job and then complains about our actions behind our backs, so that we look like dumb-ass smurfs, I would mind being the bad guys so much, but at least wait till you are out of ear shot before you trash me, for doing exactly what you asked us to do.

 I have a thick skin so 99% of the time these things don’t bother me, but every once in a while you wish you had a nice big Fred Flintstone sized cave man club made of foam and just bonk them on the head to see if they snap back into the world of reality.

 

 As I dismount my Soapbox I will add this YABA DABA DO !

Hug It Out

 I would like to extend my sincere apologies to all the readers of the Broken Soapbox Blog today, I know part of the reason for this blog was to have a place to be on my soapbox or high horse on certain topics and poke fun of the world in general, but after the previous 2 posted entries I feel the need to say Thank you and I am sorry. . .

 Thanks for letting me vent and for the comments I received and sorry that you had to read it at all. However being able to post today’s debacle of a work day and the foolishness of the higher ranking personnel around me, made it possible to keep my head and my anger in check and push through the day with only minor cerebral injuries. As well as keep my employment.

 I have decided the only way to end this day on a high note is to go home change out of the uniform and head out and see a movie, so in keeping with that thought Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and  large popcorn here I come…

I am not a big Hugger, but If I was I would Give you all a big ole hug and just hug it out, but in this case I will just thank you and give you all the “Virtual Hug”!

WTF PART 2: The Wrath of Stupidity

 Ok so its 11:30 A.M. on the same day I am still heated and angry, but I am still here and employed

 So now “we” (The Boss) has proceeded to complain about rules he put in place 8 years ago and wants to change them without talking to the Powers that be above him, I can only see me getting burnt on this!

 We are now just allowing folk’s access without being documented!!!! BRILIANT

 I am not usually bitchy like this; I am pretty easy going . . .  I guess you could say I am on my monthly cycle with today being the worst of it… (Sorry for the sexist comment no insult implied).

NEXT!

WTF!!!!

WTF  

Ever have one of those days where you get up happy and you get to work and your boss just starts out irritating the hell out of you, and then everything falls apart on you to the point you start to sign out of your computer and just walk out?

 Well that seems to be the day I am having except I am really considering walking out. I am so pissed I actually can’t stop my jaw from clenching and my legs from bouncing under the desk.

 Why do I get stuck with the boss that cannot follow his own orders and then yells and gets pissy at me for following what he said to do in the first place?

 This is not really a blog worthy entry, but if I don’t vent I may explode I am so heated you could fry and egg on me. And its only 10:30!

Sorry readers for the rant

kNOw when to say NO!

Some folks don’t know when to say no, I on the other hand say no to everything all the time, that way I am not surprised about what I am asked and the great thing in life is I can always change my mind.

 When I was a kid my parents used the ever so vague “we will see” which we all knew as kids meant NO, but we don’t want to look like the bad parents and you won’t remember anything in 10 minutes, because you’re a child and cannot focus on more than one thing for more than 10 minutes.

 The reason for this entry is my Boss, he is micro managing and passive aggressive which in my opinion is as about as much fun as a sharp stick in the eye!  I think that he thinks he works for the CIA or KGB agencies because you never get any information he keeps it for himself and says you didn’t need to know that, until after you say yes to his request. I contend that if you are asking me to do extra coverage on site or at another site then I need the specifics, I am not going to just say yes and let the chips fall where they may! My wife’s Grandmother the wisest Lady I had the pleasure of knowing always used to say it never hurts to ask questions before you answer them.

 So I vote NO . . .  and it is liberating, now keep in mind I may say no to most things, but I only mean no about 2% of them. I feel liberated and I feel I am in charge when I say no. Try it and see how it feels… I also understand that this is a kid’s mentality to say no, but sometimes you need to think like a kid to be a well rounded adult . . . SO THERE (sticking tongue out).

*Disclaimer: The author of this entry and this blog is not and cannot be responsible for any angry spouses, parents or significant others, or any loss of job, house or property due to the fact that you used the word no in answer to any questions asked. In short you use “No” at your own risk.

To Justin with Love

To Justin with Love

I miss your grumpy face, I miss your smelly boots, I miss your noisy motorcycle, I miss your cheep cigars, I miss your loud music, I miss your laugh . . . I miss you my friend!

Lines in the sand

I would like to think I am a progressive thinker and I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of expression, but I have to draw a line in the sand on this one, I do not now nor will I ever understand this seemingly new trend in Men’s panty lines! Unless you’re a male stripper in which case you still would not have panty lines (I would think) your pants should not be that tight that the world can tell if you’re in boxer-briefs, bikini or good old tighty whitieys

At great risk to my masculinity and of ending up in the H.R. department's office, I have asked women all week their opinion, and not one of the women said I want to or I would like to see panty lines on a man. The consensus on the male posterior is that if it is that nice that they want to admire it than they would rather not have lines messing up their view in fact I was told that they prefer to think of it as unencumbered and unrestricted by underpants all together.

This past week and even while writing this entry I find that my masculinity and my reputation as a man’s man has been tested slightly on this subject mostly due to the fact that I have noticed this trend and brought it to the attention of some of the women I had questioned. Given that part of my job is to observe, and that I just happened on this strange sexually expressive fashion trend I think that my testosterone driven attitude is firmly and utterly intact for I believe that women, All women no matter how big or small or color or shade of skin ROCK.

 No to sound homophobic because I am very far from that, but I am saying I draw the line of acceptance at the male panty lines, and I do not want to hear skinny Jeans are to blame, because if a man is wearing skinny jeans and we can see the outline of his underpants then he needs to stop shopping in the kids section of the clothing store.

 Well that is my Soapbox moment of the week see you all next time.

America Home of the not-so Free

 

Just A quick vent

 Since when do they put smoking warnings on movie ratings? Are they out of their minds, why have we let things get this far? And why we are being policed and warned of smoking in a movie?

 I know I am a bit behind on my movies so this post is probably not relevant anymore seeing how I am about 7 months behind the times and news, But I am seriously annoyed that we are letting the Motion Picture Association of America dictate what they think we need to be warned about. . . “Historic Smoking”?????

 I find it hard to believe that a parent is going to say to the family “Oh we are not going to see that movie because there is smoking in it”! What is next, are we going to have a PG-13 and a PG-13S for smoking???

 Wake the hell up people! This is America the Land of the FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE or is that now been reduced to the Land of the Free, but only when and where we say and home of the brow beaten. Have our Ancestors and Family members served in the military and wars defending our rights as Americans for nothing? Where do we draw the line?

 It is up to parents to raise their children and babysit them not ME!!!!  Not the Government and certainly not the M.P.A.A.! As an adult we chose what we do, right or wrong, that was the best part of being an adult and the best part about being American, Freedom of choice.

 That being said I think The Motion Picture Association of America should be forced to change its name to the Motion Picture Ass-hats of Socialism and people should raise their own children or not have any. I understand it can be tough to raise children and mold their young minds but that is what you take on when you make the choice to have them I don’t go around putting warning labels on houses with children that says “Please reframe from doing anything children live her” I know I am going to the extreme here in my rant, but this is how stuff starts and if we don’t stand up and take notice and say something now, we will lose the right of Freedom of speech, Freedom of expression and one of my favorite ones freedom to complain.

 I apologize to everyone that I had to rant and vent about something so trivial, but stuff like this should not slip through unnoticed. Before you say it I do understand the attempts to prevent frivolous law suits, but it all has to stop.

Please continue on with your day now… thank you People for allowing me to vent and thank you America for not taking that right away … yet, but just in case you better check with the M.P.A.A. on that, I may require a Warning rating as well.

A swan Song to Men’s Fashion

 I have said it in the past and I will say it again I am not Fashion expert or fashionista of any kind, hell I still wear the cloths I wore in the 1980’s and they have gone out of style and come back again. Not to mention I live in the New England area of the United States of America, so we are not known for being trend setters or for being hip. However I feel the need to address a men’s fashion mistake, something that should go the way of the Do-Do, So buckle up for a male version of a tizzy.

I have had not one but two men come by me at work wearing ballet shoes/slippers, I do not get this footwear on a guy, these two gentlemen are straight non-ballet dancers. I just don’t get it.

 What has become of the masculine foot ware, where the clunky work boots, stylish Cowboy boots and the flashy sneakers and tennis shoes could tell you exactly who the man was and what he was about.

 Ballet Shoes/Slippers just screams to me “Hey I am too lazy to put shoes on and I don’t care”. I could see it if they were dancers but one is a manager in the Tax department and another is in Marketing and both straight with wives and kids, so I say WHY? And before you ask, I am acquainted with them and they do not dance.

 Not for nothing but they look so odd on a man and I would like to see this fashion statement take a fast exit stage right and just keep shuffling off to Buffalo.

 I know this seams judgmental and catty, but welcome to my blog, it’s all about me and what runs through my head, luckily in this instance it did not run out of my mouth, I am already a politically correct nightmare. I just thought I would share this with you out there and just between me any you I will attempt to get a photo, it just looks wrong. Well till next time thanks for reading…

Coming out of the Big Brother closet to vent!

Ok this is where I sort of Jump the shark, I like to spread my interests out and keep things entertaining, so I am about to touch on a subject that I normal would not . . .  Big Brother the TV show. I am a closet junkie for this show, I have not said it out-loud or in print, but I have been hooked on this show since the first season.

 I have not been disappointed once in 16 seasons, there has always been something in the show to keep me coming back, and I guess I can thank the Road-runner and Coyote cartoons from Warner brothers when I was a kid. You know the road-runner is going to drop the coyote off the cliff or blow him up with ACME products and you know the anvil will always hit him in the head and make him look like and accordion, but you must watch it. You are glued to it!  Much like that duo I must watch it, it is like a train wreck, you know you should not look, but it is inevitable that you stare at it and not take your eyes from it.

 There is always at least  1 person who cries and says “I didn’t think it was going to be like this”; well I say hey stupid the show has been on for 16 seasons you didn’t think to go and watch at least 1 season, you deserve what you get.

 Now before I go on a rant and get off topic. The whole reason for this blog entry was to vent about a specific player on this season show… His name “insert drum roll” is Devin.

 This cheep imitation of “The Rock” has delusions of grandeur about being some kind of super strategy genius. Well he is in my opinion a lame duck. He makes an alliance with Donny hours after being in the house and then forms an all male alliance and abandons Donny and then on a whim at 4 in the morning he wakes up the head of his alliance and says we need to take 2 of the girls into their “ALL MALE” alliance and says he is sending them into his HOH room now. And The HOH goes along with it and they have to let all the others know about it and when they find out they are not pleased. I do not know who the bigger dumbass is The HOH (Caleb) or Devin

 Not 5 hours later Devin is now freaked out because Donny is talking to girls about yoga, so he goes back upstairs and starts telling everyone they need Donny out because he could take them out. He is playing too hard too fast and creating situations that that do not exists and my head hurts wasting brain cells on this! In fact I am almost ashamed I am even posting this . . . ALMOST.

Devin needs to be back doored and be kicked out of the house!

  It feels so much better now that I have come out of the big brother closet and got that off my chest. In case you are interested here are the photos of the players I have just pissed and moaned about, I am truly sorry you had to read this, I should be wearing a dunce cap.

Donny

Caleb

What is that noise?

What is that noise?

So I am at my computer and the woman in my life says o me hey lets watch this show on the food network, it is new and looks like it would be good.

 I say to hear that’s fine I am playing a game and messing about on the net, the show starts and the host has this annoying voice, more annoying that reading my blogs! The host was going into such finite details that it was like taking an Algebra test in high school.

 I says to her hay “Honey, I thought you said this was going to be good?” she replied with “I like it just give it a chance.”

 Not ten minutes later she turns to me and says what is that noise, without skipping a beat and not even looking up at here I said “oh, that? That’s the sound of your brain leaking out of your brain pan” from watching this show.

 She gives me a huff and the next thing I know Deadliest Catch is on…

 I Win!

Well the weekend is upon us and we are off to our hide-out camp in the woods of Maine, not sure what we will be doing, but I know it is better than staying home and dealing with the interlopers, that will be invading the homestead. Let "HIM" deal with them I choose to run and hide and play in the sun, drink coffee, smoke a cigar and play my music loud!
 What do you have planned?
well until next time Love Peace and Chicken Grease
 Well wishes to you all from the state of Maine!

 

Not a lot going on today, No one crashing the gate, no fights, maybe its the heat, but today was a sleeper...
 the only thing of interest was Frank the Woodchuck eating the brand new flowers the company just put in.
 Here is Frank

If your company cared about you as employees then they would not change to a health plan no one wants and that will cover less! Sorry Had to vent!

Demented Conversations

So let me set the stage, every morning there are a bunch of us that gather around my desk at the lobby and chit chat as if it were a water cooler area. Today’s out of the blue topic just struck a funny cord with me.

 We had just finished talking about a car show, and as we moved onto what was coming up for the long holiday weekend, someone out of nowhere asks, who was your favorite Charlie’s Angel was from the 1970’s television show. I could not stop myself from laughing out loud at the topic, I know that we do not discuss how to fix the world, stopping world hunger or nuclear science, but of all topics in an office building this is what pops up for a Wednesday morning conversation???

 I do not want to bore you or bring you down to our level, but it’s my blog so . . .

What is the best Charlie’s Angel from the original series not the remake of 2003?

Farrah Fawcett – Jill

Kate Jackson – Sabrina

Jaclyn Smith – Kelly

Cheryl Ladd – Kris

Shelley Hack – Tiffany

Tanya Roberts – Julie

 And then the more important

Memorial Day is here

 Memorial Day is here, camps are opening and cookouts will be in full swing, keep in mind that the reason we get to do those things and have the ability of free speech, to say what we want about Government, counties, people and even the lady down the corner that keeps backing out of her drive way into the trash barrels every Thursday and then makes me wait while she makes a 27 point turn, is the people who have served in the armed forces.

 Thank you Veterans Past, Present and future for the Freedom…

  Happy Memorial Day and for the love of god someone move the trash barrels next Thursday, just 2 feet! 

 

 

 

 Thank you One and ALL!

From Wreck it Ralph to Captain Destruct-O

 Who knew that changing out trailers at camp was going to be such a pain in the ass? I DID that’s who!

 This past weekend I spent Saturday and Sunday pulling the floor and decks up, taking lights down, disconnecting stoves and counter tops as well as a bar top and a wall. All this because I stupidly said let’s build and outside kitchen across the back of the trailer.

 It was a nice outdoor kitchen too, it was roomy, clean and waterproof and I must say I had achieved feng shui, but this was a short lived love affair with my outdoor kitchen. The woman in my life decided …”hey let’s get a bigger trailer” and the next thing I know its Captain Destruct-O time.

 I will Miss that Kitchen but maybe I will be able to build another outdoor kitchen across the back of this one as well and get my inner – outdoor chef back.

 Here are a couple photos of some of the destruction.

 Next Week I take the roof down and the water heater out so we can swap out trailers . . .  See you next time

Checking in on the Blog

Not too much going on this week, beside the Canadian's kicked Boston's ass and knocked them out of the series.
   Friday is coming an I will be off to camp to open up for the season, we will be changing trailers on the site and taking down the outside kitchen area, so I hope to have photos coming next week.
 In the mean time stay happy and wear your helmets folks you never know who or what will drop in on ya!

Happy Star Wars Day

Happy Star Wars Day . . .  May The Fourth Be With You !
 Let the Marathon begin!

Pheasant and Moose and Bear ... Oh My!

So it has been a year since I was pestering a friend of mine to invite me to his gun clubs Wild Game Dinner, I have never hunted nor have I had allot of Game meats and in my efforts to try new things in 2014 I really wanted to go and it finally has arrived. 

 It was a 4 course meal starting with a Raw bar of assorted seafood and shellfish and some greens. Being allergic to shellfish I had to stir clear of this one.
 Course number 2 was delicious. I started out with some Bear meat, that was in my opinion a tad bit on the dry side, but extremely tender. Then came the Elk that was lean and tasted just like steak, Breaded Pheasant with wild rice and Cranberries, a Moose casadia followed by some Venison. My favorite was the Bear meat and the Elk. my least favorite was the Pheasant, I think it was the coating and the cranberries that did it for me. The Moose had too much onions in there so in my opinion it did not give you a good sense of what moose would taste like.

 Course number 3 was just as wild (pun intended). I had Fried Alligator nuggets, Venison and garlic, Pheasant cornbread Potpie, Pheasant stir-fry, and Wild Boar in a gravy and steamed muscles. My favorites out of this group was the wild boar, very tasty, not real gamey tasting and very tender. The Pheasant stir-fry was another standout in this course. least favorite was the Alligator nuggets, they were over cooked and dry, you couldn’t tell you were eating alligator or chicken. The Pheasant pot-pie was interesting, but lacked something and the cornbread made it dry.

 Course 4 I had the pleasure of trying Wild Turkey with rice, Venison Tips in gravy, More Wild Boar this time in a orange sauce, Venison Ribs, Venison Chili with beans and a wild greens salad with a light vinegar dressing. I liked the greens, but hated the sweet vinegar dressing, it was just way too sweet and threw off the flavor of the greens. The standout in this group was the Venison ribs they were cooked perfect and you could taste how lean the meat was, it was outstanding. The Venison chili was ok but spice over did the flavor of any meat. The Venison tips were good as well you knew you were not eating steak but it was close and it was cooked excellent just enough without drying it out. I though Wild Turkey would have tasted different from what I get at the market, but it didn’t it tasted like Turkey and that was it. The wild boar was very nicely cooked and just tasted like a roasted pork, very nice.

 I had a great time and I have to say I will start pestering my buddy next week to go the the dinner next year as well. Not that I would pick up hunting or anything like that because I am not that kind of a man that has that ability to do so …Yet, but I will admit that there is something to the free-range mentality and the whole organic meats eating way of existing that appeals to me.

 

I am sorry there were not more photos, But I was Hungry, The man with the Skunk on his head is one of my friends Dan, don’t ask about his fingers he was hungry too! Thanks for reading see you next time
