RANDOM POLITICAL POST
can't say rant, but this turkey genocide thing. is this a backdoor whay to halt much of iWaq? if they piss off turkey enough to say we can't use their airspace and roads, how do we get material to the troops? is kuwait enough?
if this does force the curge and such to end, is this backdoor way enough for the sheeple?
i think not, but if that's why, do it.

RANDOM MEMORY POST
by the way. benedicte has landed and will be here later tomorrow. haven't seen her since 2003. and an a benedicte trip. always worth going along. last time to crandon(yes, it shall be interesting to visit that town after the mass shooting. did that get any meedeeya play?).may in the late 90's. 1998? stayed with a reporter there. took her to eagle river where she discovered fudge. stopped at the cottage. drove down the 'coast' to kewaunee to see her crazee pot head friend jim(i think jim or was it tim?), who took us on drives right on lake mich and on a very nice beach and, oh by the way he is a fishing guide, so he took us out on lake michigan and without necessary fishing licenses, three out a bunch of lures. had a fish finder. well, we got 5 bites. he reeled one in, benedicte reeled one in and i for some reason reeled in 3. very very beeg fishies. all about 22 or so inches. damn that is hard. can't imagine bringing in a marlin. i am used to at the most a 14' walleye. course crappies and rock bass are more fun.
oh, i forgot. we also slept on his boat. he slept in his van. ahh, how could i forget the sump pump?
