And this trend will last for the next 2 days, so says the forecast-people.
Our Hoosierland weather will have us with partly cloudy skies, breezy conditions and a high of around the 60-degree mark. Can't get any more Springlike than that.
And don't fear when you hear the tornado sirens going off around 1015 hrs. - it's a TEST. Ditto for tonight.
So, now that we've gotten all the mundane stuff out of the way, let's get ourselves a nice morning cup of glass of our favorite drink and set about seeing what has been going on elsewhere...
*** First off of the recliner is our 'What the hell happens today, Bob?" feature:
March 22 -
---Today is NATIONAL BAVARIAN CREPES DAY
---It's also NATIONAL GOOF OFF DAY

| Up in the air, junior birdman! |
That's all I can find, since the server for the national day calendar site is giving me an 521 error saying it's DOWN - STILL gotta LOVE technology, right?
*** Next up, it's time to once again delve into the dank, dark world of dumbassery as we see ALL the police calls the media NEVER tells us about when it comes to morons who play with guns and fireworks:

(wow, this is the SAME location where SIMILAR calls went out on 17 Feb, as well as from LAST year - 29 Dec, 22 Dec, 26 Nov, 17 Sep, 11 Sep, 6 Aug, and 18 July.)
Now, I wonder if the FWPD is seeing this pattern, because they obviously are not doing anything to halt this, and have not been able to quiet this idiot who has to be bothering the neighbors along that street (NE side not far from Reed)
Moving on...
*** The police-action shooting has provided "new information", according to local media sources, but I sure didn't see, hear, or read much more than we already knew (how typical of them).
 |
| We call this: SEVENTEEN REASONS TO COMPLY! |
Here's the link, just for the hell of it:
http://wane.com/2016/03/22/man-killed-in-police-action-shooting-idd/
 |
| Wasn't a Dunkin Donuts nearby? |
And we know this all started from an argument IN the AutoZone between two customers (doesn't take much to set these animals off) and that's when an employee tried to break up the argument, and was shot by the recently deceased perp.
The 62-yr old Hispanic guy, Abraham Martinez, tried to RUN from police after shooting the employee...that was destined fail. It would not surprise me if the victim wasn't carrying ANY form of ID - too many locals around here are notorious for that, and some even drive around without it...they just aren't stopped often enough. Many are habitual offenders and yes, are Latino.
At least this didn't wind up as another damn footnote.
*** Next up, the "proposed" downtown ARENA gets a green light from this "study committee" (unlike the SE side which gets the shit end of every stick).
 |
| COSTAPLENTY THREE? |

 |
| Our "king" (right) and his court vassals. |
They're saying they don't want to rely on PROPERTY taxes to pay for this.
BUT (uh oh), there HAS been a suggestion of RAISING the SALES TAX 1%.
Does EVERYTHING these people say HAVE to include the word TAX?
Aren't we taxed out the ass ALREADY?
And why does EVERYONE have to pay for something that not everyone will visit?
It's like you have no say in the matter.
 |
| Must seem like a game to THEM. |
Then, there's the "big dig" deal with that huge sewer pipe going in under 5 or so miles of the city.
That ain't gonna be cheap.
I mean, where the hell does this end, and why isn't EVERYONE who is capable helping to pay, instead of JUST the working-class stiffs?
Why do we even NEED all this in the first place?
(we gotta keep up with OTHER cities, Bob)
Oh yeah...that's right.
*** Next up, there are always problems galore when living in a part of town that has become BLIGHTED, thanks to government-sponsored lifestyled people.
 |
| These guys aren't moving in, that's for sure. |
It becomes a haven of sorts to the local gutter-rats - aka "Babay's kids", who see the entire street as some sort of personal PLAYGROUND.
 |
| Who gave them permission to trespass? |
Now, they roam about IN the damn street, at vacant houses (entering garages left unlocked) awith NO parental supervision to speak of. And with speeders (who are ALSO never caught by police) along our streets, it's a matter of time before "something wicked this way comes".
 |
| Try your OWN yard...or that new McMillan rec center. |
*** Last back to the laundry room...how many of you are always wishing for the times in your youth when things were a lot less "effed up"?
 |
| A "personal" mantra of mine. |
We all used to be a better people, and had a better nation, so what the hell went so wrong?
Well, the first answer that comes to mind (for me) is that we, as a society started rewarding bad or slovenly behavior.
That kicked the snowball down a very steep mountain, and it's been gathering momentum (and mass) ever since. And guess who is at the bottom?
Then, the libtards started "giving away the farm" so to speak, to those claiming poverty, but actually grew to become too lazy to actively pursue a useful and productive vocation.
All the years of rampant liberalism are catching up to us all, and the future is looking a lot more bleak than was portrayed decades ago.
We've also permitted the GOVERNMENT (on every level) to tell us "what's best' for us, as well as over-regulating every aspect to our lives, businesses, and lifestyles.
 |
| "Umm....ouch?" |
Our nation finds itself at the heart of a nexus - a point connecting other points in time and history.
As to whether we continue on our current path or decide to want better for ourselves and future generations hinges on a great many things, so it should serve as both a warning and a way to make changes for the BETTER. If that means stepping back to more forward...so be it.I don't think that our nation, "the great experiment" stopped being great...but I do believe that many of her people stopped wanting us to maintain that distinction in the global arena.
The time has come for us to work together, work smarter, and start solving our problems, instead of creating new ones. Lord knows we have too many as it is.
Stay SAFE out there, America.

EVERY day is National Goof Off Day in this household!
You know, there were some kids like that at the crappy apartment complex I used to live in. They would run around and play in the parking lot, unsupervised. The parking lot. And there was like 10 of them. Well, one time I was parking my car and one of them jumped right out in front of me. I slammed on my brakes (was only going 10 mph thankfully) and gave a honk, and the kid ran off like nothing even happened. As I got out of the car one of the parents magically showed up and asked why I had the gall to honk at his kid and to be careful while 'they were playing'. I ripped him a new a-hole, and it took everything in me not to punch him into the next freaking century.
Yep, blowing off a day- an already sore back didn't appreciate Scrappy tear-assing us through the woods after something he (and nobody else) saw.
Heard the sirens, ignored same.
Why Bavarian Crepes? Why not the nice, normal Bavarians who... oh, crepes, not creeps. Gotcha.
Well, I kinda hit goof off day, not the way one can enjoy it, though...
Mannistee Drive calls- this is the same police work that allowed some doofus to egg an old guy's house in Cleveland for five years before they got him this week. Good job.
Wow, a 62-y-o Mexican instead of some 30-something four-time arrestee black thug. Whoda thought?
So a downtown ARENA... and the hell with all the money put into the Coliseum the last few years? They've worked miracles with that building... but hey, what have you gouged from me lately, right?
But on the HUD piece, didn't you see the cousin of the guy who got blown away breaking into a woman's home? "You have to look at his life... that he was doing what he had to do for clothes and food..." But the woman who had WORKED for those things was "Definitely beyond the law" in removing him from this life. They have the logic of "what's in my hand'... too stupid to understand terms such as respect, personal property, working for a living. Like the writer of the article said, "In the old days, we would hear her comment and just tear our clothes."
We had a discussion sideways related to your closing homily today. It involved this stink about what that tennis CEO said that set Serena off (and cost him his job). You can look up the main story- but Djokivic came out with a sidebar to it. Over the last few years, PC rules have caused tennis events to offer equal prize values to both the men's and women's circuit. Thus, rather than what had been happening before- the men's association being able to negotiate up their prizes, with the womens going up somewhat behind them, NOW the WTA pay is static with what it was- and the men's pay has fallen to match it. The WTA got equality, but only by screwing the guys- and Djokivic says they are pissed about it. He thinks that they should be paid commensurate with the attendance and TV ratings they bring in. And were they still doing it that way, prolly BOTH groups would be making 50-75% more than they are now.
In other words, the law of unintended consequences bit the women's activists right in the butt. And because he was less than delicate in expressing exactly what happened and why, the CEO of Indian Wells is now unemployed. Thus, this echos two things we often talk about- the difference between liberal and intelligent (I mean, conservative) economics, and King Henry's "Lipstick on the pig" way of running this city.
Okay, sitting too long in one place, time to go.
ABFS:
I can relate to that...lol.
---Yeah, IF the parent (or parents) say anything, it's like YOU were at fault, instead of their "darling precious children", when we ALL know the exact opposite is true.
In MY day, you just didn't do such things, ergo, you didn't get yelled at by ANYONE for doing something you were NOT supposed to be doing in the first place.
Simple, huh?
(plenty of other things at home to get yelled at for anyway...heh)
Hey, thanks for swinging by today to comment.
Stay safe out there, guys.
Chris:
---A sore back makes EVERYTHING ache...I know that from experience.
---At least YOU heard sirens...!
---In OUR neighborhood, crepes and creeps ARE the same (spelling doesn't count with the locals)...HA!
---There's no LAW that says a goof off day cannot be "postponed".
---I prefer to call it the LACK of police work (just show up AFTER the person is gone). Works every time.
---Yeah, a man around MY age - whatta joke thinking he was actually going to ELUDE the po-po.
---GOUGE...great way of putting it.
(and with a "Rusty" spoon at that...lol)
It's all about LEGACY (screw the people).
---I heard a LOT about that story,...I say to his "baby-mama" - TOUGH SHIT. The kid was a criminal and he got what he deserved (instead of what he was trying to TAKE)...damn self-entitled predatory mooks!
---Yeah, and the best analogy I can make (aside from the snowball down the Matterhorn) is the DOMINO EFFECT.
Every day, another one falls.
Now, pro tennis...makes me wanna puke.
---With ALL the information that's (now) AVAILABLE to anyone & everyone at the touch of a finger, you'd THINK that people would get a handle on the whole UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES gig.
Just the OPPOSITE these days.
Nothing thought out in detail AT ALL.
(guess "Farmville" & "Candy Crush" is more important?)
Thanks for stopping by to comment today.
Rest your back & stay safe up there, brother.
Lovely spring day? Yes indeed. Except did you not wake up to the bombings? LOL. I think you are slipping. You aren't drinking your coffee watching the world go to sh*t on television first thing. Love your surveillance footage. You must never get bored up there.
MOmma Fargo:
--I wake up to ALL sorts of strange crap around here.
Some days, it's the cat gacking.
Other days, fridge noises (took care of that today - ordered us a new one)
Once in a while, a bad dream or three.
You get a bit used to all the mayhem.
--We all had to know something like this Brussels attack was coming.
We just didn't know WHERE, and hoped to hell it was NOT in the USofA.
Not slipping and I start with the "go-juice" FIRST thing...lol.
Usually, I just say to myself: "wonder what sorta crap of flowing downstream THIS mornin?", and rarely am I surprised.
As to watching the "hood"...wish to hell it DID get boring once in a while.
I could use the "time off"...heh.
(thank God for my SQUIRRELS!)
Thank you very much for taking some time to roll up and comment..
You stay safe down there, dear.
