Busy times. I’ve started a general entry a couple of times and just erased it. Mostly, I’m getting ready for this weekend. In addition to that, I had a Father’s Day dinner with my family on Monday. Tonight is the first Baronial Business Meeting since we stepped up. So that should be interesting. Thursday is finish up project day, packing day and

I’m still not sure where I am on legal gay marriage, but I can tell you this. That first couple that had been together for 55 or so years? Good on them. I’m glad they get some sorta official recognition for that. In a time when the divorce rate is about 41 percent amongst us hetros, we should take a lesson from those two. I’m also a pretty big supporter of States Rights, so if California wants it, good on ‘em.I have known a lot of folks in the community that have been together for 15-20 years, much better than a lot of heterosexual couples! My take (which you are absolutely free to ignore!) is that as long as the gooberment requires you to buy a lisence to validate a marriage then it is discriminitory and wrong to say "You cannot have the same government recognized domestic arrangement, which we conveniently call marriage, as the man and woman over there

It is the scale. I saw Iron Man for the second time last night with my foster squire, since our wives are not into that so much, well Elena went to see it with me, but Russia doesn't have much of a super hero tradition. Did you stay through all of the credits to the cool thing at the end?

[bdeb]

oh yeah. They were smart with Hulk and just give it to you at the end of the movie instead of making you wait through the credits. Hulk is worth seeing to.

My big annoyance with the flood thing and being critical of people's choices to live is with stories like I saw last night. The girl they were interviewing lived in that house since her father built it when she was 2. She bought it from them and intended to live her whole life in it. They were unsure if the house would be salvagable. The waters were up 4 feet on her ground floor, which did NOT sit on the ground - raised foundation. She did not have flood insurance because she lived 5 miles from the river. I think I live closer to the river here than that. It would never occur to me that our river could come anywhere close to us.

Someone peed in Bryce's cornflakes this morning... :p

[bdeb]

Heheh. Not really. This is what happens when I listen to NPR. One morning it is some a-hole telling me that it is a good thing that gas prices are so high because it punishes all us gassguzzling aholes in our trucks.... (She lives in a city with public transportation and has a job that doens't require her to drive...

Then the next morning I hear how people along THE LARGEST RIVER IN THE DAMN COUNTRY shouldn't build there.

Douchebags.

[thatpotteryguy]

No, fucktards. The lady from The Big City is a douchebag...the people complaining about folks living in the Mississippi flood plain are fucktards. And the people living in Iowa are Soggy-Bottom Boys. And Girls.

[bdeb]

My heart goes out to them. There is a pretty big SCA presence there isn't there?

[colin_g]

Isn't that particular flood plain part of the breadbox of America?

[thatpotteryguy]

There you go again, Colin, interupting somone's insane rant with pedstrian facts...*sigh*

[bdeb]

America has an abudance of agricultural riches, which have helped make us the Superpower we are today. The trade off is that we get floods, tornados, hurricanes, etc. etc.

It's amazing how mypotic people can be...
