Floaty lives.

Today.

When your father dies, say the Irish,
you lose your umbrella against bad weather.

So true.

Moving.

How the world works...

Scene: Going out on Sat night to meet friends for a nice dinner and drinks. Wife at bottom of stairs. Me in my recliner watching the game.

Wife: Do you want me to wear the pants with the flair leg or my skinny jeans tucked into my new boots?

Floaty: What are the "flair" pants?

Wife: I wore the flair pants to church last Sunday. You said I looked pretty.

Floaty: Wear the flair pants tonight.

Wife: Guess you don't like my new boots...(exit up the stairs.)

My new favorite drink.

Todd Snider. Saw that dude last night. He was good.

When The President Talks To God
by Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes)

When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women’s' rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God says ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends

When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess God just calls a spade a spade
When the president talks to God

When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?

I doubt it

I doubt it

So we've got company comin' Wednesday night. Mrs. Floaty has been working her tail off cleaning house, preparing provisions, etc. Mr. Floaty does what he can...or he tries to stay out of the way.
It comes as no surprise to us that we would have some kind of kink to ruin our system.
Friday afternoon, we both noticed that the laundry room kind of had an odor to it. We both thought that maybe the clothes had stayed in the washer a bit to long and, being damp, they got that moldy smell you sometimes get.
However, we re-washed the load and then dried them.
The smell was still there in the laundry room. In fact, it was even more pronounced.
Since then, the smell has only gotten worse and I have noticed a whiff of it outside of the house, near the laundry room, while walking around on my deck.
OK. So it must be some dead animal that has crawled under the deck to find its final resting place. I put on an old pair of jeans, grabbed my mag-light, and went on a carcass hunt.
Under the deck was nothing but ivy and cobwebs. No dead cats, possums, squirrels, or (god forbid) rats.
But as I was crawling out from under the deck I caught the whiff again. This time it was close to the air vent that blows the hot air of the dryer outside of the house.
Now I'm not saying that something crawled up in there. At least I hope not.
But, I did go ahead and call the "Critter Getters." These are two guys that somebody needs to produce a reality show around.
I'm not kidding. They removed some squirrels in our attic a year ago. The story is too long to go into but I will say this...they have a most unorthodox way of "critter removal".
Alex from Critter Getters is going to be here tomorrow at 7 am to hopefully rid us of this most unpleasant odor.
I'll pay him what its worth to keep ME from having to stick my hand up that vent.
I'll let you know how it goes. For now, I've gotta run. I've got to light some scented candles.

Won't be long now.

Beautiful...and very cool.

I saw

John Kilzer at Riverfest...back when it was free. Circa 1991. Immediately went out and bought both of his albums. Classics that have stood the test of time. When you click on this video, go ahead and skip to the 2:03 mark. This is when Kilzer takes the stage. Great song. Enjoy.

You have got to be kidding me...

Sadly, I know your not.

Call in and report the dipshit you see littering!

I am constantly driving throughout The Natural State. It really pisses me off to no end when I see some MF'er throwing shit out of his/her car. I don't give a damn if its just a cigarette butt. Keep that shit in your gotdamn car! Throw it out on your own driveway when you get home, you piece of shit!
It's bad enough that I have to look at huge billboards blocking the beautiful Boston Mountains while driving up scenic I540 on my way to Fayetteville.

Arkansas is one of eight states with a toll-free number for reporting litter violations. Currently, about 1,000 signs are posted along Arkansas' interstates and highways reminding motorists of the toll-free number. So when you see litter fall, that's when you call … 1-866-811-1222. Pick up your cell phone and save this number in it. Use it when you see some douche throwing crap out the window.

Reporting littering in Arkansas is quick, simple, and anonymous. Motorists reporting a violation will be asked to provide the following:

Date when the littering occurred
Location at which littering occurred
Description of the vehicle, including the license number
Description of the item littered
Side of vehicle (driver or passenger) from which littering occurred
A letter will then be sent to the vehicle's owner informing him or her of the unlawful action and educating him or her about the consequences of littering in Arkansas.

I wish they would hunt them down and shoot them on site but I guess that won't happen. This is the best we've got right now and I'm gonna do it.
