On the way to Canada for funeral. Have closed comments on almost everything to shut down the spammers.

The Machete of Truth has returned! His biting commentary and serial smackdown of liberal seminar commentors was a thing of beauty before the election, and now that he’s back I look for more fun. He never bans trolls- just engages them and displays their ignorance. Watch this space. (flounder)Ooohhh booyyyy! This is gonna be GREEEATT!(/flounder)

I’m beat, as you might expect from the wringer-washer life has dragged me through in the last couple weeks, and the weekend to come bodes well for more.

The weather has me aching and groaning, reminding me of every injury I’ve ever had (and I’ve had plenty).As I sit and type, my knees feel like icepicks are being jammed into them by a pissed-off dwarf. The soles of my feet hurt like hell. My arms and chest hurt from working on the truck (no, not “chest pains”, this is a muscle ache) and I have yet more of that to do. I’m tired because I haven’t slept well since the wife left, and I have to get some aspirin to deal with this splitting headache.

And Still. I’m tickled shitless to be alive. Those aches and pains are minor things, not because they don’t hurt, because they do- I stagger like John Wayne when I get out of a car until my knees start to loosen up- but compared to the alternative…

Life is an incredible gift, a gift only bestowed by our creator. Don’t waste it. Don’t be afraid to use it, either.
