Choices

Posted by Yabu at 05:51 AM
I had to do a little voting yesterday. Here in North Carolina, voters approved the amendment defining marriage as a union exclusively between a man and a woman. I understand that President Obama is’”Disappointed” with the NC ban on Gay Marriage. Disappointed? The people voted, and I certainly hope he’s disappointed in November. Whatever, [...]

Two Sides of the Wrong Coin

Posted by Yabu at 02:41 PM
I found this folded between the pages of an old book I found. He wrote this for me. I still think of him every day. His picture is, and will always be, on my wall. In honor of my good friend, who died in a freak accident many many moons ago, I’m posting his last scribbles. [...]

New Ride

Posted by Yabu at 12:00 AM
Well, I received my new computer, a MacBook Pro. Sweet and as fast as a good looking woman should be. My backups restored and my applications migrated and updated with no problems at all. None. I have all my data to the bit. I still have a few wrinkles to iron, but no big deal. [...]

THE FASTEST TWO MINUTES IN SPORTS REDUX

Posted by Yabu at 10:56 AM
The Juju Woman is from Kentucky, so today is a big day. First, we’re racing Stretch, and then we’ll be doing shots of Kentucky bourbon and Tequilla, wearing hats, and eating Burgoo (google it) Mexican Burritos (never done those before), because the Derby landed on May 5th. It’s always held on the first SAT in [...]

Sinko de Mayo

Posted by Yabu at 12:00 AM
I post this every year, because I’m all about the truth. Most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship [...]

Racing

Posted by Yabu at 06:55 AM
Stretch will be racing this SAT. This is an annual event, and he is entered every year. That little fucker is FAST. Today, we’ll do some more time trials, and tomorrow will be a laid back day of rest. We do practice, and Stretch has a Bionic Back. He’s fast, if they don’t put a [...]

The World Is Flat

Posted by Yabu at 10:13 AM
I just ordered a new maxed out Catdaddy Macdaddy. Not going to get into OS wars, but I prefer Unix over Windows. To each their own. No big deal. I have a choice, for now. Hell, I bought 1,000 rounds of .357 & .45 yesterday, because I could choose. Slim pickings on bullets around these [...]

Burned Bad

Posted by Yabu at 01:55 AM
Burned big time…Not that anyone gives a shit, but last night I burned the everloving fuck out of my left hand index and bird finger. Hot skillet. I could smell my flesh. Damn, I could smell it. That’s not good. Hurt like a motherfucker, wait, I already said that. I went for the ice first [...]

I Must Have Been Sleeping

Posted by Yabu at 06:59 AM
It’s official. The U.S. is no longer engaged in a “war on terrorism.” Neither is it fighting “jihadists” or in a “global war.” I feel better now. How about you? I think I’m going to take my American passport and go tour the Middle East. I guess I’m safe (the government says I am), but [...]

Missing My Mac

Posted by Yabu at 01:53 AM
I’m telling you, I’m really missing my iMac. They say, “once you go Mac, you won’t go back” I would agree. I should have a new one in a few days, and then the long process of restoring / migrating all my stuff. Could be worse, at least I have multiple current backups. I’ve been useing [...]
