Just too darn cold.  We had 25 mph winds today and the temperatures didn’t even get above freezing.  I worked today, but didn’t spend too much time outside.  We had some problems with frozen lines – I suspect that there’s going to be more of that.  The cold weather is supposed to last  until Sunday,…

Seventeen days until Christmas! Wow, it’s just a little difficult to get in to the holiday spirit this year.  I’m trying to keep a positive outlook on things.  There is just SO much good stuff going on, but my looming unemployment tends to color everything just a little dark.  On a positive note, I received…

Guess what? Global warming is a scam.  My regular exhaling ISN’T ruining the environment or drowning polar bears.  I never thought that it was, but it’s nice to find out that the science behind the recent hand-wringing about man-made global temperature increase was a complete fraud. The scientists rigged the data, and then covered it…

My employment continues until sometime in January, but I really want to find another job as soon as possible.  Now that we’ve killed the refinery, my abilities are no longer needed.  Almost everything is shut down – we’re going through the process of decontaminating pipe and vessels in preparation for a complete shutdown – likely…

9 twelve hour shifts in a row – 9 1/2 because I showed up at work this morning, but went home after I saw that an extra person in my position was unnecessary.  Missed blogging – missed a lot of other stuff as well. Good news – it looks like working multiple extra 12 hour…

Hey, late last Friday afternoon, it was announced that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four of his buddies would be moved from Guantanamo Bay to NEW YORK and given a trial there in a federal civilian court for allegedly masterminding the Twin Towers bombings of September 11, 2009. Did anybody notice? Is it just me, or…

Today was a picture-perfect day here on the east coast.  It was sunny, with a high temperature in the low 70s.  Really nice – especially after three straight days of rain. So, how did I spend this perfect day? We slept in, thanks to karaoke at Gallucio’s last night.  It’s a nice place, but it…

Those of you that know me are likely also familiar with my dog, Bonnie.  She is as calm and friendly a dog as I have ever seen.  She’s an awesome little companion, except that she’s afraid of almost everything. She also has an awkward little personality trait – she really gets p*ssed when anyone leaves. …

  There’s rejoicing in the streets all over America.  The socialists have won in the House of Representatives.  Health care for everyone!!  Voted on in the middle of a weekend night with a five vote margin.  Forced on you, whether you want it or not.  Instead of you and your family making your medical decisions,…
