I'm really disgusted with:

Incompetent politicians

LLI's (left lane idiots)

Tax and spend mentality

Left Lane Idiots

Candidates who won't answer a question

Left Lane Idiots

New Gov regulations on small business (over 4k this year)

Protestors who don't want to work

Left Lane Idiots

Computer generated political phone calls

Left Lane Idiots

Spammers

AND Left Lane Idiots

My wife and I now say LLI whenever we come upon a left lane idiot. It' happens about a dozen times on a twelve mile trip. That works out to about one per mile. When I mention "Slower Traffic Keep Right" people look at me like I'm an alien (from outer space not another country). Being a gringo in South florida ...... that's a whole other story. Add to that being a Yankee gringo in farm country. Now "I'm" a minority. It's the damn Bawstin aksint.

Yep, about one per mile.

The worst is when you're on a 4 lane, passing someone on the left @55 and a LLI on a side road pulls out into the left lane @25.

The wars are kickin our f@(%ing asses financially. All that money and effort poured into a scheme to change the world. Being the worlds police force has come at too high a cost. I much prefer a hit and run approach. Let them build it we'll tear it down from the air. The ground has been a hazardous and hostile environment. Drones and intelligence go along way with occasional visits from Puff the Magic Dragon or some well placed missles. Drugs, money, terrorism, inhuman dictatorships and genocide are the order of the day. We should have a clean up day. Say ...... Wednesday.
The same with our great cities. A national round up of the 10% of the animals that make this country the armpit it has become. Best day for that is a Friday or Saturday.

I know .... I know ..... Everybody arrested or wounded will say "I didn't do nothin". The rest won't be saying anything, except for the ACLU, Al Sharpton, Jesse and a host of others lookin for a soapbox.

Bill did you mention left lane idiots.......? I will come up behind them and flash lights with my big duramax and stay right on their asses until they move over....if they don't I pass on the right with horn going and sign language flying so they know I am pissed off. Semi's were good at that when they were keeping up with traffic but those whales are a whole other problem now with the governers all set at 68 mph.

Just as you are picking up some speed one will pull out and take about 5 min to pass the other one.....I have a whole different set of hand signals for those guys......

Geez no kidding.....we would have never survived childhood without peanut butter and jelly. It has been a staple of my diet for my life......I use the natural peanut butter now and sugar free grape jelly.....but it has to be grape....except no substitutes!

7 billion people. How does a planet support 7 billion people? It doesn't. Death through disease and famine will do as nature intended. Mother nature is a cruel bitch but does what needs to be done to restore balance. Well, at least try to restore balance as best she can. As hard as she tries mankind just keeps f@(%ing it up.

The "shit slides down hill" doctrine. Experienced it in the Navy and in Education. We have all been in meetings where some high educated person with no common sense dictates new policy on a problem that will leave the implemtation in our laps. IE How do we staff improve attendence in our school? After some bullshit brain storming the Dr.EDD whats to use state funds to pay the students each day to come to school!! F(&%$they already get free lunch, free books, free breakfast and a snack, free tutoring and now this POS wants to pay kids to come to school. Now this women is being paid high dollar to help with our attendence. Its this kind of mind set that sets me off. OR Intel indicts that our enemy is across the border in Cambodia, but the Commanders and Pentagon will not allow us tho pentrate behind the lines. Too much red tape, outcome negative if enemy builds up weoapons and supplies, Brass seems to be perplexed as what to do next! Answer cross the fucking boarder rise a whole new level of shit and destroy the fucking enemy. But no thats against what thee educated wannabes want! We are surround by incompetence and pass the buck humans that do not want to solve problems but create more problems. Opps I feel a rant coming on

Make your own money.

Don't watch the news.

Take care of business.

Go make some more money.

Realize others have an opinion.

Don't give a f@(% about other peoples opinion.

Look for good deals.

Try to find other ways to make more money.

Pay the gawdam bills.

Repeat

I'm only kidding about the money thing. It's about people. Loving, caring, sharing, promoting good, walking away from evil. Then after 15 or 20 minutes of that ...... It's all about the money. Love don't pay dem bills .... Ya know what I'm talkin about? Caring ain't putting a steak on the barbie. Sharing ...... I'm down wid dat bro. What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine. Promoting good times and stay'n the hell away from them bad mofo's. I got claustrophbia


Did I say that?
