Is Rain from a Hurricane Salty?So today while looking through the search terms that people have used to find my site, I come across this: "is rain from a hurricane salty?" LOL!So there goes my one of my renegade brain cells picturing Hurricane Katrina passing through the gulf over a big aircraft carrier full of seamen. Other images come to mind. I swear that little cell is a bad influence on the others. As I stated a while back, Hurricanes do glue me to the TV. I'm not sure if it is the cute reporter boys getting blown (there he goes again!) around in the wind or just the utter amazement of nature's fury. Like Scott mentioned in his blog Monday, this one has more of a human face than the ones prior. Not the people like the reporters that willing put themselves in harm's way or others that CHOOSE to stay, but for those that couldn't leave. I feel horrible for those that have lost everything. And part of me too, feels guilty for the pleasure I get out of watching the hurricane pass. But I continue to watch. Sick fuck? That I admit, but I do have a conscience. Please give what you can to the Red Cross.

Oh to be a Crocodile!One more day till the weekend! Thank GOD! We are in the middle of rolling out a new labor management program at work and have been doing nothing but giving training classes on it for the last couple weeks. In the mean time, my regular work just keeps piling up. I hadn't been able to check my work email in a few days and just checked it tonight, 256 unread messages. Oy. Why do some people feel the need to send out email to EVERYONE when they really just need to send it to one or two people? I've never understood that. Delete, Delete, Delete, Delete. LOL well there goes half of it. Hopefully tomorrow I can get through the rest of it.K (Prince Charming) starts his new job tomorrow!!!!! He has been off work for about 2 years. Had a few part time jobs, but nothing that he wanted to stay with. Depression has played a major part of the last couple years. He seems really excited about this one, so I hope it works out. While having to go to work everyday sucks, I admit, it can provide one with a sense of self worth. It is so good to see him excited Not much more for tonight, but I will leave you with this. Another picture I came across featuring soldier boys. It is from a towel company print ad that appeared in Life Magazine in 1942. Wow! Reminds me I need to get some of those. hehehe

Yay camping!Well, another couple of weeks has gone by without a post. I'm a bad blogger! lol! K and I actually went camping a couple weekends ago. The day we left, it was pouring down rain. Had to go pick up the trailer, get it hooked up and loaded. By the time I was through I was soaking wet! K doesn't much care for road trips, so this started things out on a bad note. Oh yeah, I own a 1965 Airstream trailer that has been in family since it was new. It's small, but rocks for the two of us. K doesn't much care for road trips, so this started things out on a bad note. But the weather cleared up before we got to the lake and found a spot and got settled. It was great being back up at the lake. I have a lot of memories from this place growing up. It was really cool to see that it hadn't changed a whole lot. Tim had his annual pool party this weekend. It has been hotter here than 4 naked twinks in a sauna lately but this Saturday we got hit with a cold front and rain. 60 fricken degrees out. Some gay boys just can't resist getting naked and wet even in the cold. This was just the start then more and more. One shirt comes off, and then more clothes go flying. Free food and lots and lots of free booze. Mix that with 150 hot gay boys and ooooo what fun! |
